Luis Vazquez

BAL 3rd Baseman #52

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Luis Vázquez (thumb) is undergoing an MRI and received stitches after leaving Sunday’s Grapefruit League against the Nationals.

Vázquez was hit by a pitch in the thumb, and while he was initially able to stay in the game, he was removed for a pinch-runner shortly after. The 26-year-old is attempting to win a utility spot with Baltimore to open 2026, but obviously the results of his imaging will play a major factor in his ability to do so.

Parker Messick

CLE Starting Pitcher #77

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Parker Messick shut out the Dodgers for six innings and struck out five in the Guardians’ 4-2 win Monday.

Messick walked none and gave up just two hard-hit balls, the harder of which turned into a double play off the bat of Miguel Rojas. It looked like the Guardians might send him down in favor of Logan Allen at the end of the spring, but they clearly made the right decision to keep him at the back of their rotation. He’s a perfectly solid mixed-league play, and he’ll next face the Cubs at home on Sunday.

Cade Smith

CLE Relief Pitcher #36

Tasked with protecting a 4-0 lead in the ninth, Cade Smith gave up two runs before finishing off the Dodgers on Monday.

The ninth opened with an infield single from Kyle Tucker and an RBI double from Mookie Betts. Smith retired three in a row from there, but he did give up the second run on a wild pitch. He threw 29 pitches tonight after throwing 28 in another shaky outing Saturday, so the Guardians might want to give him Tuesday off. That could put Shawn Armstrong in line for a save chance.

Roki Sasaki

LAD Starting Pitcher #11

Roki Sasaki allowed only one run through four innings Monday against the Guardians.

Maybe not quite the best-case scenario but definitely better than most expected. Just 41 percent of Sasaki’s pitches tonight were in the zone, but the Guardians chased after enough of the ones that weren’t to make it a solid showing. He wound up allowing four hits, walking two and striking out four. Sasaki still doesn’t come recommended in fantasy leagues, but this will keep him in the rotation for now. He’ll likely face the Nationals next on Sunday.

Steven Kwan

CLE Left Fielder #38

Steven Kwan went 3-for-5 with an RBI double from the leadoff spot Monday against the Dodgers.

Kwan is still without a hard-hit ball in 22 at-bats this year, but he has mustered seven hits anyway. With his bat speed and his foot speed decreasing, he’s likely past his peak both for the Guardians and as a fantasy outfielder. Still, he should offer some mixed-league value anyway,

Cole Young

SEA 2nd Baseman #2

Cole Young went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in a win over the Yankees on Monday.

Young got enough of a Ryan Weathers’ offering to dump a broken-bat single into right to score Randy Arozarena in the second inning. He’s swung the bat well to begin 2025 with four RBI and a .333/.368/.611 slash over the first five games. Just keep in mind that Colt Emerson is an even more highly-touted prospect, so the leash may be short.

Ryan Weathers

NYY Starting Pitcher #40

Ryan Weathers fired 4 1/3 innings of one-run baseball and seven strikeouts in his start versus the Mariners on Monday.

The only run Weathers allowed was on a broken-bat single by Cole Young. The 26-year-old’s first start with the Yankees went well outside of that and some late trouble in the fifth, and he was consistently above 98 mph with his fastball. Weathers is going to have to pitch well to keep a spot in the Yankees’ rotation, but this was a good first outing. He has a friendly matchup on paper against his former organization in the Marlins.
