Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Astros INF Luis Guillorme has elected free agency.

Guillorme has opted to test the open market rather than accept an outright assignment to Triple-A Sugar Land after passing through waivers unclaimed. The versatile 30-year-old defensive specialist has been on the injured list since July 2 recovering from a hamstring strain.

Lars Nootbaar

STL Outfield #21

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Lars Nootbaar (heel) will be a late arrival to the Cardinals’ spring training camp.

The 28-year-old outfielder is working his way back from surgery on both heels and is currently going through a running progression on an altered gravity treadmill. The issue is that the Cardinals have not had one delivered to their spring complex yet, so Nootbaar will continue to rehab at home until it arrives. His availability for Opening Day remains in question.

Christian Encarnacion-Strand

CIN Infield #33

Reds’ skipper Terry Francona told reporters on Thursday that Christian Encarnacion-Strand tweaked his hamstring in January and is likely to miss the team’s first couple of Cactus League games.

The 26-year-old slugger is currently on a running progression that he’ll need to work through before he’s cleared for live game action. It doesn’t sound like it should impact his availability for the start of the regular season, though any missed time during Cactus League play could hurt his chances of cracking the team’s Opening Day roster.

Max Muncy

LAD Infield #13

Dodgers signed INF Max Muncy to a one-year, $10 million contract extension.

The deal will pay Muncy $7 million for the 2027 season and includes a $10 million club option for the 2028 season with a $3 million buyout. The 35-year-old slugger slashed .243/.376/.470 with 19 homers and 67 RBI in just 100 games for the Dodgers during the 2025 campaign.

Sebastian Walcott

TEX Shortstop #89

Rangers’ general manager Chris Young told reporters on Thursday that top prospect Sebastian Walcott will undergo surgery to repair a UCL tear in his elbow.

The 19-year-old shortstop was shut down during the Arizona Fall League due to what had been termed as arm fatigue. It seems there was a more serious underlying elbow issue at play. It’s not clear yet which elbow procedure that he’ll undergo. Walcott is expected to miss the bulk of the 2026 season while recovering.

Ben Lively

CLE Starting Pitcher #39

Guardians re-signed RHP Ben Lively to a two-year minor league contract.

Lively was removed from the team’s 40-man roster back in November and the veteran right-hander elected free agency. He’s in the process of recovering from Tommy John surgery and is expected to miss most of the 2026 season. He has already reported to the Guardians’ spring training facility and will continue his rehab in a familiar setting.

Andrew Nardi

MIA Pitcher #43

Andrew Nardi (back) through around 30 pitches during a successful bullpen session on Wednesday.

The session included one up/down, simulating a break in-between innings. 27-year-old hurler wound up missing the entire 2025 season due to a lower back issue that cropped up during spring training. If healthy, he could provide a major and unexpected boost to the Marlins’ bullpen heading into 2026.

Gunnar Henderson

BAL Infield #2

Gunnar Henderson left Orioles’ spring training camp to tend to a personal matter.

The 24-year-old superstar is expected to return to the club’s spring training facility on Sunday. This won’t have any impact on Henderson’s ability to get himself ready in time for the start of the regular season and shouldn’t impact his fantasy draft stock at all. He has been the third shortstop drafted on average in early drafts, behind only Bobby Witt Jr. and Elly De La Cruz.

Liam Hendriks

MIN Relief Pitcher #31

Twins signed RHP Liam Hendriks to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

The 37-year-old hurler has thrown just 18 2/3 innings in the big leagues over the past three seasons, but as long as he’s healthy he could wind up being an integral part of the Twins’ bullpen. If he looks strong this spring, he could compete with Taylor Rogers and Justin Topa for save chances, making him worthy of a late-round flier in deeper mixed leagues.

Julian Merryweather

MIN Relief Pitcher #66

Twins signed RHP Julian Merryweather to a minor league contract

Merryweather had a nice season with the Cubs in 2023, finishing with a 3.38 ERA and 98 strikeouts in 72 innings, but he’s battled some injuries since and amassed a 6.14 ERA with his velocity down about two mph these last two years. He still might be interesting in a Twins pen absent much strikeout potential.

Liam Hendriks

FA Relief Pitcher #31
Liam Hendriks is signing a minor league deal with the Twins, according to the New York Post’s Jon Heyman.

It’s a full circle for Hendriks, who signed with the Twins as a teenager and made his major league debut for the club in 2011. One certainly can’t count on Hendriks staying healthy at age 37 after throwing just 18 2/3 innings in the majors the last three years, but if he does, there’s a good chance he’ll wind up leading the Twins in saves, given the state of their pen. If he impresses this spring, he could be worth a flier.
