Jo Adell

LAA Right Fielder #7

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jo Adell went 1-for-3 and drove in the Angels’ lone run in Sunday afternoon’s loss to the Rockies at Coors Field.

Adell gave the Halos an early lead with an RBI single off of Kyle Freeland in the top of the first inning that plated Mike Trout. That would wind up being the extent of their offense in the ballgame however. The 26-year-old slugger also worked a walk in the ballgame. He has had a very productive season at the plate, slashing .237/.297/.490 with 36 homers, 96 RBI and five stolen bases in 549 plate appearances.

Matt Chapman

SF Infield #26

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Matt Chapman doubled twice in a win over the Cubs on Sunday.

Chapman has his first two extra-base hits of the spring. The 32-year-old is coming off a solid — if unspectacular — 2025 season with 21 homers and a .770 OPS, and fantasy managers should expect similar production from Chapman this summer.

Dylan Carlson

CHC Center Fielder #15

Dylan Carlson went 2-for-2 in Sunday’s Cactus League loss to the Giants.

Carlson also drew a walk. The former top prospect signed as a non-roster invite in January, and he’ll need to have a heck of a spring training if he’s going to make the Opening Day roster. At this point, it’s hard to see Carlson being more than roster fodder.

Brady House

WSH Infield #12

Brady House slugged a pair of homers and knocked in four runs in the Nationals’ 16-8 defeat of the Marlins on Sunday.

If the Nationals were looking to compete, they ought to have tried upgrading at third base over the winter. As is, though, there’s no harm in giving House another opportunity. Plate discipline is a problem, but his exit velocity numbers as a rookie were a fair amount better than his .234/.252/.322 line suggests. His homers today were hit 415 and 398 feet.

Mitchell Parker

WSH Pitcher #70

Mitchell Parker blanked the Marlins for two innings on Sunday.

The Marlins failed to muster any hard contact against Parker, who is having to battle for a rotation spot after posting a 5.68 ERA and a poor 14.2% strikeout rate as a sophomore. The addition of Miles Mikolas to near-certainties Cade Cavalli and Brad Lord has left the Nationals with Josiah Gray, Foster Griffin, Jake Irvin and Parker battling for two rotation spots, and the assumption is that Gray will have one if he gets through camp healthy. All but Mikolas do have options, though.

Sandy Alcantara

MIA Pitcher #22

Sandy Alcantara pitched only one inning and gave up three runs Sunday against the Nationals.

Alcantara needed 28 pitches to get his three outs, ruling him out for a second inning in his spring debut. The damage came on a Brady House homer after a single and a walk. Alcantara averaged 96.3 mph with his fastball, down 1.4 mph from his 2025 norm. That’s acceptable for a spring opener, though.

Alan Roden

MIN Outfield #18

Alan Roden went 2-for-3 with a grand slam Sunday in the Twins’ 8-1 victory over the Braves.

That the Twins retained Trevor Larnach and added Josh Bell and Victor Caratini over the winter would seem to leave their younger outfield types with little opportunity to crack the starting lineup this spring. Roden, though, overcame similar circumstances to make the Jays last spring. He wound up disappointing and getting moved in the Louis Varland deal, but his on-base skills make him interesting, especially if he shows a little more power.

Taj Bradley

MIN Pitcher #26

Taj Bradley allowed one run over three innings while striking out five Sunday against the Braves.

Bradley should have given up two homers, but the wind knocked down a potential leadoff shot from Ronald Acuña Jr. to start the bottom of the first, resulting in a single. As it turned out, only Drake Baldwin’s solo shot in the third did any damage. Bradley’s bid for a rotation spot got a big boost when Pablo López was diagnosed with a torn ACL. He still definitely has the stuff to be a quality big-league starter. He just needs to turn that into results at some point.

Kendry Rojas

MIN Starting Pitcher #90

Kendry Rojas struck out three in two perfect innings Sunday against the Braves.

Rojas struggled in Triple-A after the Twins got him from the Jays in the Louis Varland deal last summer, but he remains a really exciting pitching prospect. The 23-year-old topped out at 98.5 mph today, and his eight sliders produced four missed swings, two called strikes and zero contact.

Chris Sale

ATL Pitcher #51

Chris Sale threw scoreless first and second innings, striking out three, Sunday against the Twins.

Sale averaged 95.1 mph with his fastball in his spring debut, a slight improvement over his 94.8-mph average from last year. He also threw a first-pitch strike to all eight batters he faced today.

Drake Baldwin

ATL Catcher #30

Drake Baldwin went 2-for-2 and homered for the Braves’ only run Sunday against the Twins.

The Braves today had Baldwin hitting second, which could be his placement during the regular season. He finished last season batting cleanup, and he still might make more sense there if the Braves want to split their lefties. Walt Weiss said that wasn’t a big issue for him, though.
