Jeremy Peña

HOU Shortstop #3

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Astros’ skipper Joe Espada told reporters on Sunday that he has yet to rule out Jeremy Peña (finger) for Opening Day.

The 28-year-old took batting practice on the field once again on Sunday without issue and participated in fielding drills. He has made quick work in his recovery from a fractured ring finger and it’s starting to sound increasingly likely that he’ll be in the Astros’ lineup when the regular season begins.
Kyle Stowers

MIA Left Fielder #28

Kyle Stowers will open the season on the 15-day injured list after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain.

Stowers is expected to be shelved for 3-4 weeks. He had battled hamstring issues early on during spring training and then aggravated it again during Friday’s Grapefruit League contest against the Astros. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect to have him in lineups until the end of April.
Cristopher Sánchez

PHI Starting Pitcher #61

Phillies signed LHP Cristopher Sánchez to a six-year, $107 million contract extension with a club option for 2033.

The new agreement keeps Sánchez, who finished second in NL Cy Young Award balloting last season, in Philadelphia through 2032. His previous four-year, $22.5 million contract ran through 2028 and included team options for 2029 and 2030. The new agreement starts in 2027 and runs through 2032 with a club option for 2033. It makes plenty of sense that the Phillies would want to lock up one of the best left-handed arms in the game for as long as possible. He’ll be one of the first 10 pitchers off the board in all remaining fantasy drafts this spring.
Jordan Westburg

BAL 3rd Baseman #11

Asked if Jordan Westburg might be ready to return from his UCL injury by May 1, Orioles team president Mike Elias indicated that wasn’t realistic.

“Things are going fine so far, but we still have a lot of time ahead of us,” Elias said. Westburg isn’t currently on the 60-day IL, but he might wind up there if the Orioles need his spot on the 40-man. As is, it looks like Coby Mayo will be Baltimore’s primary third baseman for at least the first 6-8 weeks.
Ryan Borucki

SF Relief Pitcher #35

Giants signed LHP Ryan Borucki to a one-year deal.

Borucki not only gets an MLB deal after opting out of his minor league contract with the White Sox, but he gets to play for a much better team in the process. Win-win. The 31-year-old will operate in the middle innings for San Francisco to begin 2026 .
Michael Conforto

CHC Left Fielder #90

Michael Conforto has been informed that he’ll be on the Opening Day roster.

The Cubs will need to add Conforto to the 40-man roster, and that will likely come closer to Opening Day than not. The 33-year-old didn’t exactly tear up the Cactus League with a .635 OPS coming into Saturday, but he did enough to win a job with Seiya Suzuki (knee) and Tyler Austin (knee) both unavailable to begin the year. Conforto should see playing time against right-handed pitching, but his lack of success since 2020 makes him a wait-and-see option at best.
Seiya Suzuki

CHC Right Fielder #27

Seiya Suzuki (knee) won’t be ready for Opening Day.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters that the team isn’t sure yet if Suzuki will open the year on the bench, or if the team will place the outfielder on the injured list. Suzuki was diagnosed with a PCL sprain in his right knee, and it’s not a surprise that the 31-year-old won’t be healthy enough to be in the lineup. It’d be an upset if Suzuki doesn’t hit the 15-day injured list before the campaign begins.
Colt Emerson

SEA Shortstop #85

Mariners reassigned INF Colt Emerson to minor league camp.

Emerson will not make the Opening Day roster, which isn’t a huge surprise; especially with Cole Young playing so well. The 20-year-old is one of the best infield prospects in the sport and has a chance to contribute in several fantasy categories, but he likely won’t get a chance to do that in the majors until closer to May at the earliest.
William Contreras

MIL Catcher #24

William Contreras went 3-for-3 with a two-run homer in a 6-1 win for the Brewers over the Padres on Saturday.

Contreras hit one of three homers for the Brew Crew on Saturday; all coming off Randy Vásquez. The 28-year-old backstop has homered twice in the Cactus League, and looks ready to yet again be one of the better fantasy backstops in 2026.
Dylan Moore

PHI Shortstop #25

Phillies signed INF/OF Dylan Moore to a one-year contract.

Moore opted out of his minor league deal with the Phillies, and rather than risk letting him go, the Phillies will add the versatile 33-year-old to their bench. He’ll likely see time against left-handers while playing multiple positions in 2026.
