Detroit Tigers first baseman Spencer Torkelson has continued to impress in spring training and has put himself in a good position to make the Opening Day roster. Torkelson has been one of the most consistent bats in the Detroit lineup during camp, as he has posted a strong .302/.364/.581 slash line with four home runs. He held a 4:10 BB:K and swiped one bag. In addition to his improving bat, Torkelson has begun to see time in right field, which has only improved his chances of making the Opening Day roster. Throughout the start of his professional career, Torkelson has exclusively only played at first base. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, as he could open the season as a depth option on the roster. Last season, he posted an underwhelming .219/.295/.374 line with 10 home runs. If he continues to impress, he could eventually carve out time as first base behind Colt Keith, at right field, or even as a designated hitter. He is worth taking as a late-round flier in AL-only formats.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane McClanahan (undisclosed) exited Saturday's contest early after throwing just 41 pitches. Before exiting, McClanahan was in pain and waved to the bench to exit the contest. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status, as the team will likely provide an update after the contest. The 27-year-old missed the entire 2024 campaign due to Tommy John surgery but is slated to be Tampa Bay's Opening Day starter. During camp, McClanahan has logged seven shutout innings with a 4:8 BB:K. The South Florida product made the American League All-Star team during the 2022 and 2023 seasons. In 2022, McClanahan enjoyed a breakout campaign, as he logged a career-high 166 1/3 innings to the tune of a 2.54 ERA and a stellar 0.93 WHIP. If McClanahan were to miss time, Drew Rasmussen could see starting opportunities.

Washington Nationals right-handed pitcher Derek Law (elbow) is not expected to be ready for Opening Day. According to Spencer Nusbaum of the Washington Post, Law believes he will be placed on the 15-day injured list to begin the season. Law has been slowly increasing his workload during camp after battling an elbow injury last season that has continued to linger. Last season, the 24-year-old held a 2.60 ERA with a 1.18 WHIP. Across this stint, Law tallied just 76 strikeouts but showed strong command as he served up walks at a solid 6.6 percent rate. He also generated an elite 3.8 percent barrel rate and a 35.2 percent hard-hit rate. When Law returns to action, fantasy managers should expect him to be a reliable source of holds, as he tallied 17 last season while typically pitching in the seventh inning.

The Colorado Rockies have optioned right-handed pitching prospect Jaden Hill to Triple-A Albuquerque. Hill was competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster, but given his struggles during camp, the Rockies will have him continue his development in the minor leagues. In camp, Hill logged eight 1/3 innings to the tune of a 6.48 ERA with a 1.20 WHIP. The LSU product made his MLB debut last summer and held a high 5.06 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP across 10 2/3 innings. During this limited stint, he generated a strong 3.01 xERA with a .205 xBA, which suggests he should face some significant positive regression when he returns to the majors. Last summer, he held a 4.57 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP across 45 1/3 innings split between Double and Triple-A. Hill should contend to return to the Colorado bullpen later in the summer.

Toronto Blue Jays outfield prospect Alan Roden is firmly in the mix to make the Opening Day roster. With Daulton Varsho (shoulder) set to open the campaign on the injured list, the Blue Jays may give one of their top prospects a look at the major leagues. Through spring training, Roden has posted an impressive .367/.429/.733 slash line with two doubles and three home runs. He has held a 4:10 BB:K with one swiped bag. Last season, Roden opened the campaign at the Double-A level and eventually reached the top level of the minor leagues. Across his first 71 contests with Triple-A Buffalo, Roden posted an eye-catching .314/.406/.510 slash line with 15 doubles and nine home runs. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his stats, as he could be worth a look as a late-round pick in deeper formats.
