The Miami Marlins acquired right-hander Tyler Phillips from the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations, the Marlins announced. In a corresponding move, right-hander Seth Martinez was designated for assignment to make room for Phillips on the 40-man roster. Phillips, 27, will open the year in the big leagues with the Fish after making his major-league debut in 2024 in Philadelphia, where he allowed 28 earned runs on 45 hits (nine homers allowed) while walking seven and striking out 28 in eight appearances (seven starts) covering 36 2/3 innings pitched. He will give the Marlins some extra starting depth with Ryan Weathers (forearm) and Edward Cabrera (finger) starting on the injured list, but Phillips will begin the year as a long reliever out of Miami's bullpen. He can be ignored in fantasy for now.

Detroit Tigers right-hander Brenan Hanifee has made the team's Opening Day roster, a source told the Detroit Free Press' Evan Petzold. Hanifee essentially takes the roster spot of right-handed reliever Jason Foley, who will surprisingly start the year at Triple-A Toledo after struggling in spring training. The 26-year-old Hanifee impressed in his 10 2/3 scoreless Grapefruit League innings while striking out nine and walking three. The former fourth-rounder of the Baltimore Orioles in 2016 appeared in 21 games (three starts) for the Tigers a season ago and excelled with a 1.84 ERA (3.10 FIP) and 1.12 WHIP with 23 strikeouts and six walks in 29 1/3 innings pitched. Hanifee will likely serve in a middle-relief role for the Tigers to open the 2025 season and won't really be on the fantasy radar anywhere.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder/first baseman Jake Bauers and outfielder Isaac Collins have made the team's Opening Day roster, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. Bauers, 29, hit .263 (10-for-38) with four doubles, three home runs, nine RBI and two stolen bases in 15 Cactus League games to earn a spot as a bench bat for the Brew Crew to open the 2025 season. The left-handed hitter does provide a little pop -- he has 51 long balls and 183 RBI in five major-league seasons -- but he swings and misses too much to provide a useful average, and he will need some injuries to occur to see regular playing time. Bauers will provide depth at first, in the outfield and at designated hitter. Collins, 27, will be another utility player for Milwaukee with the ability to play outfield, second and third base. He had an .861 OPS with 14 homers and 24 steals in 2024 for Triple-A Nashville.

Milwaukee Brewers veteran left-handed pitcher Jose Quintana agreed to be optioned to the minors to start the 2025 season in order to complete his build-up. Quintana didn't sign with the Brewers until early this month, so he was a bit behind the other pitchers in spring training. While there is no official timetable for when the 36-year-old southpaw might be ready for a big-league call-up, it's likely that he'll rejoin the major-league squad at some point in April. The Colombian hurler made only two appearances (one start) in the Cactus League this spring and allowed two earned runs while walking none and striking out two in five innings. He went 10-10 and provided the New York Mets with 31 starts in 2024, pitching to a 3.75 ERA and 1.25 WHIP with 135 K's in 170 1/3 innings. Quinana's numbers under the hood show that he was pretty fortunate, so fantasy managers should expect regression and certainly not as much volume.

The Chicago White Sox claimed infielder/outfielder Greg Jones off waivers from the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Charlotte. In a corresponding move, the team designated outfielder Oscar Colas for assignment. The Rockies acquired Jones in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays last March, and the 27-year-old made his big-league debut in Colorado, going 1-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in just six games. He hit .269/.346/.460 with 16 homers and 46 steals in 406 plate appearances at Triple-A Albuquerque. Jones should have a better shot at sticking in the majors with the rebuilding White Sox and could be worth stashing in AL-only leagues for his speed. Colas, 26, hasn't developed as the White Sox envisioned he would and has hit .223/.271/.309 with five homers, 23 RBI and 81 strikeouts in 301 trips to the plate over 88 games in 2023 and 2024.
