Colorado Rockies outfielder Bradley Zimmer has been released by the organization on Sunday. This move is unsurprising after the Rockies acquired outfielder Jake Cave this weekend. There was no more room for Zimmer on the roster despite his solid play this spring. Zimmer was hitting .378 with one home run, four RBI, and four stolen bases in 49 plate appearances in camp. The former top prospect is hopeful to bounce back elsewhere with another organization. His play this spring should earn him another chance somewhere else.

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (foot) is reportedly a longshot to be ready in time for Opening Day, according to manager Aaron Boone. It sounds like the veteran infielder has not progressed as quickly as the organization hoped. The 35-year-old continues to deal with a bone bruise in his right foot that could linger into Opening Day. The good news is that LeMahieu has been able to participate in baseball activities. Although, LeMahieu isn't quite ready for game action, so he could begin the season on the injured list. Oswaldo Cabrera figures to see an expanded role if LeMahieu does miss time.

Colorado Rockies shortstop Ezequiel Tovar has reportedly signed a long-term extension with the organization on Sunday. It's a seven-year deal with a club option for the 2031 season. Tovar could earn up to $84 million if the team does exercise his option. The young infielder was fairly productive through his first big league season. Tovar slashed .253/.287/.408 with 15 homers, 73 RBI, and 11 stolen bases. The organization is hopeful that Tovar will take a step forward offensively in 2024. It appears that the Rockies believe Tovar is the future at shortstop and he very well could be if he keeps progressing.

The Minnesota Twins have signed veteran reliever Jesse Chavez to a one-year big league deal and he will serve in a middle relief role or pitch in matchup-specific opportunities. It will be the 40-year-old's tenth different major league club and 17th season, which is an enviable feat in and of itself. The Twins have lost some bullpen arms recently and needed to sure it up before the season began. While Chavez has found a niche for himself over his many MLB seasons, he's not going to log many innings and isn't a power strikeout pitcher, so his usefulness for fantasy purposes is pretty much limited to leagues where Holds are counted as a category.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Luis Gil has earned himself a spot in the starting rotation. The right-hander has been named the team's fifth starter on Sunday. This spring, Gil has posted a 2.87 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, and 23/6 K/BB ratio across 15 2/3 innings (three starts). The loss of Gerrit Cole (elbow) gave Gil a good chance at securing a spot for Opening Day. Although, Gil has earned the chance to start the year in the rotation. He's projected to pitch the fifth game of the season versus the Arizona Diamondbacks. Gil is looking like a solid late-round option in fantasy drafts.
