Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (calf) is expected to play in the team's final two exhibition games on March 25th-March 26th against the Boston Red Sox at Global Life Field. He was diagnosed with a left calf strain three weeks ago. The 26-year-old recently underwent an MRI, which showed that his left strain is improving but he has yet to be cleared for running. Barring any setbacks, Jung will likely play in the team's final spring games and has a shot to be cleared for Opening Day. He slashed .266/.315/.467 with 23 home runs, 70 RBI, 75 runs, and a stolen base over 515 plate appearances in 2023. Jung has an NFBC ADP of 113 and remains a solid pick at his current ADP despite the injury.


New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said outfielder Aaron Judge is "mid-spring beat up" and is not expected to play in the Grapefruit League until Wednesday. Boone didn't detail what type of injury Judge is dealing with, but the Yankees expect him to be in the lineup the next few days. The 31-year-old was limited to 106 games in 2023 due to hip and toe injuries. He slashed .267/.406/.613 with 37 home runs, 75 RBI, 79 runs, and three stolen bases over 458 plate appearances last season. Judge is hitting .143 (2-for-14) with an RBI over six games this spring. When healthy, the Yankees slugger is arguably one of the hitters in all of baseball and currently has an NFBC ADP of 11 heading into upcoming drafts.


San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Alex Cobb (hip) threw a 30-pitch batting practice session on Monday. The right-hander was originally expected to be sidelined until around June. Now, it sounds like Cobb would return at some point in April. There is certainly still plenty of rehabbing left before Cobb is ready to rejoin the Giants rotation. However, it sounds like the 36-year-old is heading in the right direction. He pitched well with the team last year and could be an interesting deep league option once he returns.


Miami Marlins starting pitcher Edward Cabrera (shoulder) is scheduled to undergo an MRI, according to manager Skip Schumaker. The right-hander was supposed to take the mound on Sunday, but didn't due to shoulder tightness. The organization said that it was a precautionary move, but it makes sense that they want to do imaging as well. Cabrera was off to a hot spring, so hopefully, it's just a minor setback for him. Fantasy managers will have to check back later after the imaging is done.


New York Yankees starting pitcher Luke Weaver (neck) won't make his scheduled start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday. It appears the right-hander is dealing with neck stiffness, so the team will take a cautious approach here. The 30-year-old signed a one-year deal with the Yankees this past offseason. Weaver has struggled to establish himself as a legitimate starter at the big league level. He looks to make the team as a back-end starter, so hopefully he can get back on the mound soon.
