Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena went 2-for-2 with two home runs in Saturday's 6-5 spring loss to the Minnesota Twins. Arozarena took Pablo Lopez deep in the first and fourth innings of Saturday's loss. The 29-year-old is looking to produce his fourth straight 20/20 season in 2024. He slashed 254/.364/.425 with 23 home runs, 83 RBI, 95 runs, and 22 stolen bases over 151 games last year. Arozarena has had a modest spring, hitting .200 with three home runs and five RBI over 10 games this spring. With an NFBC ADP of 43, Arozarena should hit 20 homers, steal 20 bags, and score close to 100 runs in 2024, making him a solid pick at his current ADP heading into 2024 fantasy drafts.


Los Angeles outfielder Taylor Ward went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 spring loss to the Chicago Cubs. Ward took Keegan Thompson deep in the bottom of the sixth inning for his first home run of spring training. The 30-year-old has had a solid spring, slashing .286/.375/.457 with a home run, six RBI, and five runs scored over 14 games during spring training. His 2023 season ended prematurely. Ward suffered multiple facial fractures after being hit by a pitch in the face against the Blue Jays in July. He is slated to be the Angels' starting left fielder and is projected to hit fifth in the team's lineup. Ward has an NFBC ADP of 221 in March and has a chance to pop 20-plus homers in 2024, making him a solid pick at his current price tag in upcoming fantasy drafts.


Chicago Cubs outfielderSeiya Suzuki continued his blistering spring training with two home runs on Saturday against the Kansas City Royals. He went 3-for-3 with two home runs, three RBI, and three runs scored in Saturday's 7-6 spring win over the Royals. Suzuki is having a fantastic spring, hitting a .440 batting average and a 1.401 OPS in 25 at-bats. ATC projects Suzuki to hit for a .271/.351/.465 slash line to go along with 21 HR and 74 RBI in 2024. The slash line would slightly decrease from 2023, while his home runs and RBI numbers would be nearly identical. Fantasy managers are likely expecting Suzuki to impact their rosters, as he currently has a 115 ADP. The Japanese star looks to be in for another productive season as the Cubs look to make a run in an open NL Central in 2024.


New York Mets second baseman/outfielder Jeff McNeil (biceps) will make his Grapefruit League debut on Tuesday after missing time due to left biceps discomfort. McNeil will play five innings in a minor league game on Sunday in preparation for his debut on Tuesday. He is expected to be ready for opening day on March 28th when the Mets host the Milwaukee Brewers. The 31-year-old looks to continue to be an important piece to the Mets' lineup after a down year, by his standards, in 2023. He'll look to improve on his .270/.333/.378 slash line from last season and is projected for a .280/.341/.394 slash line in 2024. With a current ADP of 255.7, McNeil will likely only provide value to fantasy managers in deeper leagues.


Cincinnati Reds' outfielderTJ Friedl (wrist) suffered a sprained wrist in the second inning of Saturday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The injury happened as the 28-year-old dove for a ball and appeared to roll up on his wrist. There is no current timeline for Friedl's recovery, which jeopardizes his status for Opening Day. Though Friedl had not performed well in spring training, hitting .185 over 12 games. The 28-year-old is still expected to be a productive member of the Reds in 2024. ATC projects Friedl with a .255/.330/.418 projected slash line, 15 HR, and 58 RBI. Fantasy managers should not know that Friedl's current ADP of 165 could likely be affected if he is expected to miss any significant amount of time.
