Seattle Mariners second baseman Jorge Polanco is showing his new team what he can do at the plate this spring. After bashing two home runs on Sunday, the 30-year-old failed to reach base for the first time Monday, going 0-for-3 with a strikeout in a 13-3 Cactus League loss to the Padres. Through his first eight Cactus League games, however, Polanco had reached base at least once via hit or walk in each game. After nine games now, the veteran is 7-for-17 (.412) with a double, two home runs, four runs, and eight RBI. He's collected four walks and has also been plunked once, with his OBP standing at .545 after 22 plate appearances. The 2019 All-Star has missed portions of the last two seasons due to injury so it's a welcome sight to see him healthy. He's currently projected to hit third in the Mariners order and is being drafted around pick 257 per his NFBC ADP, slightly behind his RotoBaller rank of 244.

Detroit Tigers outfielder Parker Meadows went 0-for-3 on Monday in a 5-3 Grapefruit League win over the Houston Astros. After starting the spring season 7-for-20 (.350), he's now 0-for-6 in his last two games and 7-for-26 overall (.269). Despite this little rough patch, included in his seven hits are two doubles and two home runs. Right now per Roster Resource, the 24-year-old is projected as the Tigers' leadoff hitter, which would be a boon to his potential fantasy stats, however, he was batting ninth in the order on Monday which would depress his value, so that's something worth keeping an eye on. He's currently going off draft boards late, around pick 289 per his NFBC ADP, but RotoBaller ranks him slightly higher at 269.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge had an MRI in the area of his abdominal muscle on Monday that came back clean. Earlier on Monday, Yankees skipper Aaron Boone had stated that Judge was feeling "mid-spring beat up" and that Judge wasn't going to play until Wednesday. Now it's estimated that Judge won't even swing a bat until later this week. According to Judge though, he's "pretty sure" that he'll be ready for Opening Day. For now, it sounds like the Yankees and fantasy baseball managers will still have one of the top offensive weapons in the game available to begin the season, but with the 31-year-old's injury history, it is certainly something we'll need to keep a close eye on. The 5x All-Star managed to blast 37 home runs last season despite missing 56 games.

The Atlanta Braves final rotation spot is currently down to Reynaldo Lopez and Bryce Elder, per MLB.com's Mark Bowman. AJ Smith-Shawver put forth an impressive spring but was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday. Lopez has looked excellent this spring, while Elder has yielded poor results. Elder put forth a decent 2023 season for the Braves over 31 starts, while Lopez hasn't made multiple starts in a season since 2021. Either way, whichever pitcher earns the spot will hold at least steaming appeal in fantasy leagues given the strong lineup behind them.

Colorado Rockies first baseman/outfielder Michael Toglia continued his strong offensive spring Monday, hitting his third home run in a 7-2 Cactus League win over the White Sox. The former first-round pick has not yet been able to stick in the big leagues and is currently fighting for a roster spot. However, he is making a compelling case, batting .345 with nine RBI in 29 plate appearances. Toglia does have the pedigree and would have the benefit of playing his home games in Coors Field, but he will need to prove that he can consistently produce if he does make the team before fantasy managers can trust him.
