Free-agent pitcher Michael Wacha agreed to a one-year deal with the Red Sox on Friday. He was mainly used as a traditional starter for the Tampa Bay Rays in 2021. The right-hander will provide the Red Sox with pitching depth and slot into the back-end of Boston's starting rotation. The 30-year-old went (3-5) with a 5.05 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and a 121:31 K: BB across 124 2/3 innings for the Rays in 2021. Wacha will be used as a streamer when the matchup is favorable in most fantasy leagues and is a solid reserve pitcher in deep-league formats in 2022.
Seattle Mariners Opening Day starting pitcher Luis Castillo struggled in his first game of the season on Thursday against the Boston Red Sox. Castillo pushed through five innings and allowed six hits, four runs, two walks and struck out five on the evening. The 31-year-old is coming off another strong season and managers should not be concerned as of now, despite spending a high draft pick on the right-hander. Castillo remains a top tier option with ability to rack up strikeouts and limits walks. He will look to get into the win column versus the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday.
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer in Thursday's Opening Day victory against the Seattle Mariners. The 27-year-old is coming off an impressive Grapefruit League and remains one of the most talented hitters in all of baseball. It seems like he has been around forever, but he is still just entering his prime and that's scary to think about. With his ability to help pretty much everywhere but the speed department, Devers should easily be a top-20 player in 2024.
Seattle Mariners utilityman Dylan Moore pinch-hit and went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in Thursday's loss versus the Boston Red Sox. Moore came on for Dominic Canzone in the bottom of the seventh inning to make the game within one run, but it would not be enough. Moore, 31, can play all over the field, but doesn't have an everyday role. 2023 was his first year in the big leagues that he didn't eclipse 10+ stolen bases and without those, his value is even more minimal. Despite the nice performance, he doesn't carry enough opportunity or offer enough outside of position versatility to be rostered in even the deepest of leagues.
The Pittsburgh Pirates have placed veteran catcher Yasmani Grandal (foot) on the 15-day injured list with plantar fasciitis. The veteran came over from the White Sox this offseason to mentor fellow backstop Henry Davis. At age 35, Grandal is no longer the defensive specialist he once was and his offense has also started to decline. There is no timetable for his return, but he only played in two Grapefruit League games this spring and will need to shake off the rust before returning to the big leagues. Even when healthy, Grandal can be left on the wire in almost all formats. Catcher Jason Delay will take over the backup duties to Henry Davis with Grandal sidelined.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, two runs and a walk in Thursday's Opening Day loss versus the Boston Red Sox. Haniger returned to the Mariners this offseason as part of the Robbie Ray trade. After a nice spring, the veteran starts the regular season out on a high. Haniger is entering his eighth season and while he has been productive, that is only when he has been able to be on the field. Outside of two seasons with Seattle that he played 157 contests, his next highest total is 96 games and that is all the way back in 2017. Managers should roster Haniger in deeper formats as he does provide good power stats, but he makes for a perfect sell-high candidate if he continues to hit well a few weeks into the season.
Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs, one stolen base and a solo home run. The home run would mark the fifth straight season that the slugger has gone yard on Opening Day, which is now a MLB record. O'Neill had a nice spring with his new club and should provide some punch in the Red Sox lineup this season. O'Neill hit 34 homers in 2021, but has dealt with injuries over the past season and has not seen the field much. As long as he can stay healthy, O'Neill makes for a very good bounce back candidate as well as an affordable power bat that can sprinkle in some steals.
Cincinnati Reds designated hitter Nick Martini was 2-for-5 with two home runs in Thursday's 8-2 Opening Day win over the Nationals. Hitting out of the eighth spot in the lineup, the lefty also had five RBI and 2 runs scored. The former seventh-round MLB draft pick is projected to be the Reds' DH against RHP, and has produced some nice power numbers in the past. Martini hit six long balls and had a 19.4% HR/FB% with a 10.5% Barrel% last season in limited action (72 AB). He also showed a high contact rate of 84.6% and a low K% of 19.0% in 2023, both better than league average. The 33-year-old blasted four home runs in just 36 spring at-bats as well. With injuries aplenty to the Reds lineup he could get regular playing time and is already in a position to exceed his five home run ATC projection for 2024. The power alone makes him worthy of a roster spot in deeper leagues, but the excitement and momentum may have to be put on hold until Sunday, as the Reds have a day off Friday and face lefty Patrick Corbin on Saturday.
Following the injury to third baseman Nick Senzel, who fractured his right thumb before Thursday's Opening Day loss to the Cincinnati Reds, Washington Nationals No. 16 prospect Trey Lipscomb will be called up from Triple-A Rochester to make his major-league debut, according to a source. Some folks believed Lipscomb should have made the Opening Day roster after impressing in big-league spring training with a team-high .400 batting average, four extra-base hits, seven RBI and defensive versatility. The 23-year-old former third-rounder in 2022 out of Tennessee has average power at the plate and will probably be most useful to the Nats for his defensive versatility. With Senzel out for around three to four weeks, expect Lipscomb to split playing time at third with Ildemaro Vargas, making him worth a waiver-wire flier in NL-only leagues for infield depth.
Washington Nationals third baseman Nick Senzel (thumb) fractured his right thumb on a bad hop while taking ground balls before the Opening Day contest on Thursday against his former team, the Cincinnati Reds, and could be out for three to four weeks, according to manager Dave Martinez. Senzel signed a one-year, $2 million deal with the Nats in the offseason after playing parts of five seasons with the Reds. The former first-rounder has been a bust to this point in his career, mainly due to injuries. Ildemaro Vargas replaced Senzel at the hot corner in Thursday's 8-2 loss to Cincy, but prospect Trey Lipscomb is expected to be called up from the minors and could split playing time with Vargas at third base for Washington until Senzel is able to recover from his thumb injury.
Texas Rangers right-hander Jon Gray (neck) will make his first start of the season on Sunday versus the Chicago Cubs, with Cody Bradford getting the nod on Saturday. Gray was scratched from his scheduled exhibition start earlier this week due to a stiff neck, but the injury isn't serious and he will be able to take the ball for his first turn through the starting rotation. The last time the 32-year-old took the mound in spring training, he went five innings, so fantasy managers should expect Gray to be pretty limited from a pitch-count perspective on Sunday against Chicago. Gray got off to an amazing start for the Rangers in 2023 but struggled down the stretch. He pitches in a hitter-friendly home park, is injury-prone and has a hittable fastball, making him a backend fantasy starter in mixed leagues, at best.
