Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar (wrist) was forced to exit early during Saturday's spring training contest. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative on Profar's jammed left wrist. Now, Profar will undergo an MRI to determine if there is any structural damage. The expectation was that Profar will platoon in left field to begin the season after signing a three-year deal with Atlanta over the offseason. The 32-year-old has put together an up-and-down career, but produced solid numbers with the San Diego Padres last season. If Profar does miss time, Jarred Kelenic figures to see regular playing time in left field rather than just a platoon option.

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo (knee) appears to have avoided a major injury, but has been shut down from baseball activities for a few days. Nimmo has been dealing with a lingering knee issue throughout camp. He underwent an MRI earlier in the week that didn't reveal any structural damage. The 31-year-old did receive a gel injection into his right knee on Saturday. The hope is that Nimmo can ramp up his activities after a few days of rest. Mets' manager Carlos Mendoza said he expects Nimmo to be ready for Opening Day. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation, but they shouldn't be too concerned about this being a long term issue.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitchers Albert Suarez and Cade Povich are set to compete for the open spot in the rotation with Grayson Rodriguez (triceps) set to be sidelined through Opening Day. Earlier in the offseason, Suarez was initially expected to be the next man up, but given Povich's strong performance in spring training, he could surpass him on the depth chart. Last season, Suarez logged 133 2/3 innings in Baltimore and posted a 3.70 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP. He tallied 108 strikeouts with a modest 7.6 percent walk rate. Povich made his MLB debut last summer and held an underwhelming 5.20 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP across 79 2/3 innings. However, in spring training, Povich has tossed five shutout frames and allowed just one hit while tallying seven punchouts. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Povich's development as he could move up the depth chart if he continues this excellent play. For now, both pitchers are solid late-round targets in AL-only formats.

The Philadelphia Phillies optioned right-handed pitcher Max Lazar to Triple-A on Saturday. Lazar was competing for a spot in the Opening Day bullpen but will begin his season at the Triple-A level instead. Last season, the 25-year-old made his MLB debut and held a 4.61 ERA with a 1.10 WHIP. He tallied punchouts at a low 16.7 percent but showed elite command as he held a 3.7 percent walk rate. He also generated a strong 4.7 percent barrel rate. With Triple-A Lehigh Valley last summer, Lazar posted a strong 2.45 ERA with a 1.03 WHIP. He also showed strong command at this level, as he allowed just 10 walks across 33 innings of work. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should continue to monitor his status at Triple-A as he will likely return to the majors when the Phillies need additional depth in their bullpen.

Miami Marlins right-handed pitching prospect Luarbert Arias was optioned to Triple-A. Arias was competing for a spot in the Miami bullpen. Last season, the 24-year-old made his Trie-A debut and performed quite well. He held a 3.04 ERA with a 1.19 WHIP across 68 innings. He tallied 75 punchouts and served up 27 free passes. Earlier in the summer, Arias logged 21 1/3 innings at the Double-A level and posted a strong 1.69 ERA with a stellar 0.70 WHIP. There, he held a 3:29 BB:K ratio and allowed just two home runs. Given his fast progression through the minor leagues, Arias may only need another brief look at Triple-A before being promoted to the majors. Once he does earn the promotion, he could eventually compete for a high-leverage role as he has seen save opportunities with Triple-A.
