Mike Clevinger

PIT Starting Pitcher #52

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Mike Clevinger gave up four runs in three innings of relief Sunday against the Red Sox.

Clevinger has been sitting 95 mph this spring, which is 1-2 mph better than he’s typically been since returning from Tommy John surgery in 2022. Still, he has just a 6/5 K/BB in eight innings over three appearances. There wouldn’t seem to be much reason for the Pirates to go with him as their fifth starter.

Mason Fluharty

TOR Relief Pitcher #68

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Mason Fluharty was diagnosed with a right knee contusion after being hit during Saturday’s win over the Athletics.

Fluharty took a comebacker to the knee, but the good news is that X-rays have already returned negative and it appears to just be a bruise for the left-hander. Consider the 24-year-old day-to-day.

Can Marlins progress towards competing in 2026?

March 27, 2026 05:22 PM

The Dan Le Batard show debates how the Miami Marlins can get fans back into the good graces of the Miami fanbase and why 2026 might be the beginning of resurrecting that enthusiasm.

Liam Hicks

MIA Catcher #34

Liam Hicks went 1-for-2 with a home run and three RBI to lead the Marlins to a 4-3 win over the Rockies on Saturday.

Hicks was hit by a pitch in the second inning, then put the Marlins on the board with a sacrifice fly in the third. He later came through for Miami with a game-tying two-run blast in the fifth for his first home run of the season. The 26-year-old backstop should get regular playing time against right-handed pitching, making him a viable second catcher in deeper leagues.

Ezequiel Tovar

COL Shortstop #14

Ezequiel Tovar went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer against the Marlins on Saturday.

Tovar’s only hit of the day left the yard and put two runs on the board for Colorado as he took Eury Pérez deep in the fourth inning. The 24-year-old shortstop is a prime bounce-back candidate after missing nearly half the season to injury in 2025. Hits in each of his first two games, including the home run on the road, is a good start.

TJ Rumfield

COL 1st Baseman

TJ Rumfield went 1-for-4 with a solo homer against the Marlins on Saturday.

Rumfield put the Rockies on the board with a solo homer off Eury Pérez in the second inning. It was Rumfield’s first career home run after winning the first base job this spring. The 25-year-old has flashed excellent contact skills that should play up in Colorado.

Pete Fairbanks

MIA Relief Pitcher #29

Pete Fairbanks tossed a clean ninth inning with one strikeout to record the save against the Rockies on Saturday.

Fairbanks took the mound with a one-run lead in the ninth to close it out against Colorado. He induced a pop-up, struck out one batter, and got a fly out to secure the win and convert his second save of the season in as many games.

Eury Pérez

MIA Starting Pitcher #39

Eury Pérez surrendered three runs with eight strikeouts over seven innings in a no-decision against the Rockies on Saturday.

Pérez tossed a scoreless first inning before giving up a solo homer to TJ Rumfield in the second. He hung a slider to Ezequiel Tovar in the fourth, who sent it over the left field wall for a two-run shot. The two home runs were the only blemishes on an otherwise impressive first start for Pérez as he generated an impressive 17 whiffs to strike out eight batters. The talented 22-year-old right-hander will draw the Yankees in New York for his next start on Friday.

Michael Lorenzen

COL Starting Pitcher #24

Michael Lorenzen allowed three runs with four strikeouts over 4 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Marlins on Saturday.

Lorenzen escaped a bases-loaded jam in the second inning, then gave up one run on two hits and a sac fly in the third. Liam Hicks later took him deep for a two-run blast to tie the game at three in the fifth. That would end Lorenzen’s day at 93 pitches. He scattered seven total hits and struck out four batters. The 34-year-old right-hander will take on the Phillies in Colorado on Friday and could be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Rhys Hoskins

CLE 1st Baseman #8
Rhys Hoskins is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Mariners.

Hoskins has hit well in his first few games with Cleveland, although he did have one of the most bizarre baserunning mistakes you’ll see when he tried to tag up and score on a 200-foot pop-up. Chase DeLauter is the designated hitter Saturday against Bryan Woo, Angel Martinez will handle left and CJ Keyfus is in right. Bo Naylor also gets a break with David Fry hitting fifth and catching.

Jake Eder

WSH Starting Pitcher #46

Nationals designated LHP Jake Eder for assignment.

Eder showed tremendous promise when drafted out of Vanderbilt in 2020, but injuries have stalled his career significantly. It won’t be a huge surprise if someone puts in a claim on the 27-year-old as a depth piece/reclamation project, but it won’t be a big surprise if teams don’t have interest, either.

Boston Smith

CWS

White Sox acquired C Boston Smith from the Nationals for INF Curtis Mead.

Smith was the Nationals’ sixth-round pick in 2025. The 23-year-old projects as roster fodder at this stage of his career, but it’s worth noting he’s also played third base and the outfield in college; giving him some (potentially) valuable versatility.
