Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz earned his third save of the season and helped the Mariners avoid a sweep at the hands of the visiting Tigers. It wasn't as stress-free as Munoz, the Mariners, or his fantasy owners would have liked it to be, but he ultimately got the job done. He entered the 3-2 game to start the ninth inning and walked the first two batters he faced. After a strikeout, he gave up a single to load the bases with one out. However, he bounced back and retired Javier Baez on a fielder's choice that got the out at the plate and then struck out Zack McKinstry on three straight pitches to put the game in the books. Munoz has picked up three saves in three games while working three innings. He does have three walks but has also picked up five strikeouts. He and the Mariners have Thursday off before a three-game set in San Francisco against the Giants over the weekend.

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that shortstop Gunnar Henderson (intercostal) is probable to be activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday to make his season debut against the Royals in Kansas City. Henderson played in his final minor-league rehab game with Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday and was scheduled for a rest day on Thursday. Henderson is not in the team's lineup on Thursday for their series finale against the division-rival Boston Red Sox, with Jackson Holliday manning the 6 and batting seventh. The 23-year-old hasn't had any kind of setback, but with an early start time on Thursday against Boston, the O's want to give him a full day of rest. Fantasy managers should expect Henderson back at shortstop and in the leadoff spot for Baltimore on Friday against veteran right-hander Seth Lugo and the Royals.

Boston Red Sox catcher Connor Wong will take a seat for Thursday's series finale against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. Carlos Narvaez will do the catching for right-hander Tanner Houck and will hit eighth in the batting order versus veteran right-hander Charlie Morton. Wong could use the day off, as the 28-year-old has just one hit in his first 21 plate appearances over six games in 2025 with a steal, two walks and six punchouts. This will be only Narvaez's second game of the early season and just his eighth total game in the majors after debuting with the New York Yankees in 2024. He's gone 1-for-3 with an RBI, a walk and a strikeout so far this year and should be avoided in DFS formats on Thursday. Narvaez has never faced Morton.

Baltimore Orioles right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (elbow) threw his second bullpen session Camden Yards on Wednesday before the team's game against the visiting division-rival Boston Red Sox, according to MLB.com's Jake Rill. Rodriguez continues to build his arm back up after he was shut down during spring training with right-elbow inflammation. The 25-year-old hasn't had any setbacks since resuming a throwing program, but because of the fact that he's yet to face live hitters at all, it might make sense for fantasy managers to expect his 2025 debut to come in late April or early May. Rodriguez will need to eventually go on a minor-league rehab assignment, but when he's ready to return, he'll be reinserted as Baltimore's ace at the top of the rotation. Left-hander Cade Povich will likely be the odd-man out of the rotation when Rodriguez returns.

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Enrique Bradfield Jr. will open the regular season with Double-A Bowie on Friday. The Orioles drafted Bradfield with the 17th selection in the 2023 MLB Draft out of Vanderbilt. After receiving a brief 25-game taste in the lower levels of the minor leagues in 2023, Bradfield spent most of the 2024 season at High-A. Across 81 games, the 23-year-old posted a solid .267/.345/.363 slash line with 14 doubles, three round-trippers, and an impressive 59 stolen bases. He then earned a late-season promotion to Double-A, where he took a step forward as he posted a .287/.395/.396 line with four doubles and 15 stolen bases in just 27 games. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his production as he could be in the mix for an early promotion to Triple-A Norfolk if he enjoys similar production at the start of the 2025 season.
