Sean Reynolds In A Walking Boot

San Diego Padres pitching prospect Sean Reynolds (foot) is in a walking boot. Reynolds sustained a stress reaction in his right foot. He is expected to remain in the boot for at least 10 more days before undergoing further evaluation. The former fourth-round selection made his MLB debut last summer. Across 11 innings, Reynolds held a stellar 0.82 ERA with a 1.36 WHIP. He tallied 21 punchouts. The right-hander also generated a strong .146 xBA and a 22.7 percent hard-hit rate, which were both well above the average marks. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, as he may not earn a spot on the Opening Day roster if he remains sidelined for a lengthy period during camp. Across 54 innings at Triple-A last summer, Reynolds posted a 6.17 ERA and a 1.69 WHIP. If he were to crack the Opening Day roster, he would likely earn a role in the bullpen.

Trevor Gott Signs Minor-League Deal With Seattle

Right-handed pitcher Trevor Gott signed a minor league contract with the Seattle Mariners. This contract includes an invitation to spring training. Gott missed the entire 2024 campaign after undergoing Tommy John surgery. During the 2023 campaign, the right-hander spent time with the Mariners and the New York Mets. Across 58 total innings of relief, Gott posted a 4.19 ERA with a 1.14 WHIP. He tallied 62 punchouts and showed strong command of his pitches as he posted a 7.2 percent walk rate. He also generated an elite 4.5 percent barrel rate. Fantasy managers should monitor his status during spring training, as he could compete for a role in the Seattle bullpen. If he earns a spot on the major league roster, fantasy managers should expect the 32-year-old to operate as a low-leverage reliever.

X-Rays Come Back Negative On Addison Barger

The X-ray results came back negative on Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Addison Barger (hand). Barger exited Sunday's spring training contest early after being hit by a pitch. However, seeing that his x-rays returned negative, fantasy managers should not expect the infielder to miss much time. Barger could return to the starting lineup as early as later this week. The 25-year-old made his MLB debut last summer. Across his first 69 contests in the majors, Barger posted a .197/.250/.351 slash line. He tallied 11 doubles with seven long balls. He swiped two bags. He struck out at a hefty 26.7 percent rate and only drew walks at a 6.2 percent rate. When he returns to action, Barger will compete for the starting job at third base alongside Ernie Clement.

Nick Madrigal Suffers Dislocated Shoulder

New York Mets second baseman Nick Madrigal (shoulder) sustained a dislocated shoulder during Sunday's spring training contest. Madrigal received the starting nod at shortstop in this contest but was pulled from the game in the opening frame after charging a ground ball. The team is waiting on the MRI results to determine the severity of the injury. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during camp, but the 27-year-old could be in danger of missing the start of the campaign. Earlier in the offseason, the Mets signed Madrigal to a one-year contract worth $1.35 million. When healthy, fantasy managers should expect Madrigal to serve as a depth infielder. While sidelined, prospect Luisangel Acuna could see increased opportunities at second base and shortstop.

Giancarlo Stanton Remains Without Timetable

New York Yankees designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (elbow) remains without a timetable. Yankee manager Aaron Boone said on Sunday that there is "nothing imminent" regarding Stanton's return to baseball activities. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Stanton's status, but he is in danger of missing Opening Day. The slugger has not swung a bat in several weeks due to "high pain" in both of his elbows. Seeing that Stanton remains without a definite recovery timetable is not a positive sign. Last season, the 35-year-old held a .233/.298/.475 slash line with 27 home runs. He generated an elite .509 xSLG but held a hefty 31.2 percent strikeout rate. While Stanton remains sidelined, fantasy managers should expect the Yankees to move several players to the DH spot, which could open up starting opportunities for first baseman Ben Rice.
