Brandon Young

BAL Starting Pitcher #63

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Triple-A Norfolk’s Brandon Young and Terrin Vavra have joined the Orioles in Baltimore.

Young, who has made three minor league starts since returning from a shoulder issue that cost him nearly a month, is expected to be activated to make a spot start Wednesday against the Rangers. Vavra, most likely, will only be added to the roster if Jordan Westburg (finger) requires an IL stint.

Carter Baumler

TEX Relief Pitcher

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Rangers acquired RHP Carter Baumler from the Pirates for RHP Jaiker Garcia and cash.

Baumler was the fifth pick in the Rule 5 draft, getting taken out of the Orioles system. The soon-to-be 24-year-old has pitched just 7 2/3 innings in Double-A and none in Triple-A, so he’ll be facing a big jump as he tries to win a spot in the Texas bullpen.

Jaiker Garcia

PIT Relief Pitcher
Pirates acquired RHP Jaiker Garcia and cash from the Rangers for RHP Carter Baumler.

This was the Pirates’ haul for trading out of the fifth slot in the Rule 5 draft. Garcia, 20, had a 4.66 ERA in 19 1/3 innings in the Arizona Complex League last season, but the Pirates might be impressed by what he’s doing in the Venezuelan Winter League; he has a 0.77 ERA at the moment, even though he’s walked 10 in 11 2/3 innings.

Corbin Carroll

ARI Right Fielder #7
The Padres and Diamondbacks will play a two-game series in Mexico on April 25 & 26.

MLB’s 2026 schedule had both teams with Friday and Monday off surrounding a two-game series in Arizona, so it was obvious something was up. Those games will be played at Estadio Alfredo Harp Helú Béisbol in Mexico City. Expect a couple of high-scoring affairs; when the Padres and Giants played there in 2023, the two teams combined for 37 runs between the two games.

Tyler Rogers

FA Relief Pitcher #71
The Mets are showing interest in re-signing Tyler Rogers, according to The New York Post’s Jon Heyman.

Edwin Díaz is gone, but Rogers in the eighth and Devin Williams in the ninth would still give the Mets an exceptional late-game duo. Rogers, a free agent for the first time, is almost certain to land the first multiyear deal of his career at age 35.

Jeff McNeil

NYM Left Fielder #1
With Pete Alonso exiting, the Mets have internally discussed going with Jeff McNeil as a first baseman against righties and signing a platoonmate, says the Boston Globe’s Tim Healey.

Healey, who covered the Mets before jumping to the Red Sox in the middle of the season, said one option being discussed in signing Paul Goldschmidt. McNeil is also an option in left field for the Mets after being bumped off second base by the Marcus Semien acquisition. He’s also been mentioned as a trade candidate.

Josh Walker

BAL Relief Pitcher #21
Orioles claimed LHP Josh Walker off waivers from the Braves.

The Orioles are reclaiming Walker four weeks after losing him to the Braves on waivers. Odds are that he’ll go right back on waivers later this month, but maybe he’ll clear next time around. The Orioles like him enough to want him around to contend for a bullpen spot, just not enough to permanently use an offseason roster spot on him.

Drew Romo

BAL Catcher #3

Orioles designated C Drew Romo for assignment.

Romo gets booted from the 40-man five days after being claimed from the Rockies. Now we’ll find out if anyone else was interested in the 24-year-old when he waived last week.

Alexander Alberto

CWS Relief Pitcher

White Sox selected RHP Alexander Alberto from the Rays with the 13th selection of the Rule 5 draft.

Alberto was the final pick of the Rule 5 draft, and the White Sox were the only team who picked twice. A 6-foot-8 right-hander, Alberto was able to strike out 64 batters in 48 2/3 innings, but it’s worth noting he didn’t pitch above High-A. He’ll have a chance to show if that stuff can play at the highest level this spring.

Zach McCambley

PHI Starting Pitcher #91
Phillies selected RHP Zack McCambley from the Marlins with the 12th selection in the Rule 5 draft.

McCambley, 26, had a 2.90 ERA and an 83/22 K/BB in 62 innings out of the pen between Double- and Triple-A last season. He throws in the mid-90s, but he uses his cutter more than his fastball and also attacks hitters with a slider. It’s package that could make him adequate in middle relief.

Cade Winquest

NYY

Yankees selected RHP Cade Winquest from the Cardinals with the ninth pick of the Rule 5 draft.

Winquest is one of the few starters who was drafted in this year’s Rule 5, but his path to joining the Yankees will likely come in relief. An eighth-round pick back in 2022, Winquest made 23 starts — 25 appearances in total — while reaching Double-A while in the St. Louis organization with a 110/39 K/BB and 3.99 ERA over 106 innings.
