Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow) said his right-elbow rehab as a hitter is essentially complete. Case in point: He has played in back-to-back spring training games and will be back in the Cactus League lineup on Wednesday. Ohtani had elbow surgery last year and will not be available to pitch at all in his first season with the Dodgers, but he'll operate as their primary designated hitter in the heart of a stacked lineup. In four spring training games so far with LA, the Japanese superstar has gone 5-for-10 with a homer, triple, five RBI and three runs scored, so he looks to be in midseason form. Ohtani has been the American League MVP in two of the last three years while also hitting 40 plus homers and stealing 20 bases in both those seasons. He's one of the most dangerous hitters in all of baseball.

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that center fielder Tommy Edman (wrist) resumed playing catch and hitting off a tee in camp on Tuesday. The next steps for Edman will be hitting with front toss and coach pitch, according to the skipper. Edman was recently shut down for a period after experiencing pain in his surgically repaired right wrist. "Days were (up and down) instead of (incremental progress). We could have continued on that path, but there's no reason to have two good days and one bad day. They studied it a little bit and felt it made more sense to have a pause and then go back at it," Marmol said. There's a chance Edman won't be ready by Opening Day on March 28. In that event, Dylan Carlson would open the year as St. Louis' center fielder. Edman provides a modest power/speed profile, but his stock is dropping due to his injury, and he's best viewed as a No. 4 fantasy outfielder.

Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy said that left-hander Wade Miley (shoulder) threw a bullpen session in camp on Tuesday morning. "I wouldn't count him out for the first week," Murphy said. Miley has been dealing with left-shoulder soreness in spring training and isn't a lock to be available for the first turns through the team's starting rotation to begin the regular season. The 37-year-old veteran southpaw is trending in the right direction, though, so even if he opens the year on the injured list, he could make his 2024 debut in April. Fantasy managers in mixed leagues should look to avoid the aging soft-tosser, though, as you should be able to find better upside starting rotation options at the end of your drafts.

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (groin) has been dealing with some groin discomfort since Sunday, which is why he hasn't played in the Cactus League in a couple of days. Manager Ron Washington said he isn't concerned with the injury, though, and the hope is that Rendon is back in the lineup on Thursday. However, the Angels won't throw the injury-prone third baseman back out there until the pain is gone. The 33-year-old should hit in the middle of LA's batting order in 2024 and serve more as the designated hitter with Shohei Ohtani now gone, but how many games can fantasy managers really expect Rendon to play in? He's played in just 148 total games in the last three seasons combined. He still has great plate discipline, but Rendon has become untrustworthy in standard-sized fantasy leagues.

Los Angeles Angels infielder Luis Rengifo (hamstring) is expected to make his spring training debut in the team's Cactus League lineup on Wednesday and get a couple of at-bats. Rengifo is just now making his Cactus League debut after dealing with a hamstring injury in recent weeks in camp. The 27-year-old is expected to be ready by Opening Day on March 28, though, as long as he doesn't suffer any sort of setback with his leg. Rengifo was one of the team's most productive offensive players last year with 16 home runs in 126 games, and he should open the year as the Halos' starter at the keystone. He doesn't have a ton of power or speed, though, which merely makes him middle-infield depth in deep-mixed fantasy leagues.
