Chris Bassitt

BAL Starting Pitcher #40

Chris Bassitt threw five shutout innings against the Tigers on Tuesday, allowing three hits and walking two while striking out four.

It was not as dominant an effort as the line might suggest. Bassitt threw 63 percent of his pitches for strikes, but had just a nine percent whiff rate and 16 percent CSW. He allowed five hard-hit baseballs, but most of his success today came by inducing weak contact as the average exit velocity of balls in play was just 80.2 mph. The veteran was down almost one mph on all of his pitches from his 2025 averages, and it’s just hard to get excited in fantasy baseball about a veteran pitcher who really struggles to miss bats.
Enoli Paredes

BAL Relief Pitcher #59

Orioles reassigned RHP Enoli Paredes to minor league camp

Paredes had a solid 2024 season but then spent all of 2025 in Triple-A with the Braves. He allowed three runs on five hits in 2 1/3 innings for Baltimore this spring and could be ticketed for the minors again. The Orioles also reassigned INF/OF Willy Vasquez to minor league camp.
Jackson Holliday

BAL 2nd Baseman #7

Jackson Holliday (wrist) said he “feels good” in his recovery from hamate bone surgery and expects to take live at-bats this week.

Holliday had surgery in February and had aimed for a mid-April return at the time. He appears on track for that right now. Holliday is unsure if he’s going to get into a spring training game with the Orioles before camp breaks at the end of this weekend. However, he is “expecting to play in Triple-A Norfolk’s opening game,” and believes he would be back with the Orioles a few weeks after that. There should be some residual power lag in the months after that, given the nature of his surgery, so fantasy managers shouldn’t expect a lot of power growth for the 22-year-old this season.
Gunnar Henderson

BAL Shortstop #2

Gunnar Henderson and Roman Anthony homered as Team USA defeated the Dominican Republic 2-1 to advance to the WBC final.

This one figured to feature quite a bit more offense, but as it turned out, three solo homers, including one from the Dominican Republic’s Junior Caminero, accounted for all of the scoring. Team USA won despite striking out 15 times. After Paul Skenes pitched 4 1/3 innings of one-run ball, Tyler Rogers, Griffin Jax, David Bednar, Garrett Whitlock and Mason Miller combined to shut out the Dominican Republic the rest of the way. Team USA will face the winner of Monday’s game between Venezuela and Italy on Tuesday.
Zach Eflin

BAL Starting Pitcher #24

Sunday’s Grapefruit League nightcap between the Yankees and Orioles was cancelled due to inclement weather.

Technically, it was a faulty tarpaulin that led to water flooding the field at Ed Smith Stadium as the contest was unable to continue due to field conditions following a rain delay. Eflin was off to a nice start with four strikeouts on 32 pitches (22 strikes) over two scoreless innings before a downpour ended his night. He’ll presumably get some work in on a side session to continue building up his pitch count. He’ll open the season at the back-end of Baltimore’s new-look rotation.
Cade Povich

BAL Starting Pitcher #37

Orioles optioned LHP Cade Povich to Triple-A Norfolk.

Povich was in the running for a spot in Baltimore’s season-opening rotation this spring but struggled to a 4.32 ERA and 6/7 K/BB ratio across 8 1/3 innings in Grapefruit League action. The 25-year-old southpaw will open the year back in the minors with veterans Zach Eflin and Dean Kremer occupying the final spots in the Orioles’ rotation mix.
Gunnar Henderson

BAL Shortstop #2

Gunnar Henderson is at third base and batting fifth on Sunday as Team USA squares off against the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic semifinal.

Henderson gets the nod over Alex Bregman at third base to face Dominican Republic starter Luis Severino, whom he’s had plenty of success against dating back to Severino’s time with the Yankees. The other notable change for Team USA manager Mark DeRosa involves giving Will Smith the start at catcher over Cal Raleigh. Here’s the full lineup: Bobby Witt Jr. (SS), Bryce Harper (1B), Aaron Judge (RF), Kyle Schwarber (DH), Henderson (3B), Smith (C), Roman Anthony (LF), Brice Turang (2B) and Pete Crow-Armstrong (CF).
Adley Rutschman

BAL Catcher #35

Adley Rutschman drilled his second home run of the spring on Saturday against the Pirates.

Rutschman got a high fastball from Pirates starter Carmen Mlodzinski and didn’t miss it, launching a 381-foot blast to right field for his second big fly of the spring. The 28-year-old backstop will cede occasional playing time to top prospect Samuel Basallo this season, but he’s locked in as Baltimore’s starting catcher, and is a top 12-15 range fantasy option at the position.
Dylan Beavers

BAL Right Fielder #12

Dylan Beavers went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer on Saturday against the Pirates.

Beavers took Pittsburgh reliever Cam Sanders for his first round-tripper of the spring and is up to six extra-base hits in Grapefruit League action. The 24-year-old rookie is likely to open the regular season in a part-time role as a left-handed complement to Tyler O’Neill and Taylor Ward in the outfield corners. The lack of a clear full-time opportunity diminishes his immediate appeal to deeper mixed leagues, but he possesses an abundance of fantasy-relevant tools that will make him an impactful contributor sooner than later.
Trevor Rogers

BAL Starting Pitcher #28

Trevor Rogers was charged with two runs over four innings on Saturday against the Pirates.

Rogers recorded three strikeouts, issued one walk and threw 61 pitches (41 strikes) in his first spring outing since being named Baltimore’s Opening Day starter. The 28-year-old southpaw revived his career last season with a stellar 1.81 ERA (3.40 xERA), 0.90 WHIP and 103/29 K/BB ratio across 109 2/3 innings over 18 starts. There are a wide range of opinions regarding where he should be selected in fantasy drafts this spring, but he makes sense as a top 35-40 range starting pitcher, which puts him squarely in SP3 territory.
