Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (hernia), who had sports-hernia surgery in January, has been taking live batting practice since March 18 and could get a few at-bats in the team's exhibition games against the Boston Red Sox next week before Opening Day on March 28. Seager, who was the runner-up for the American League MVP award in 2023, was on the injured list twice last year due to hamstring and thumb injuries. The Rangers are currently deciding if he'll need a minor-league rehab assignment to start the 2024 campaign. Even if the 29-year-old two-time World Series MVP isn't ready for the start of the 2024 regular season, he should be considered by fantasy managers as a top-10 shortstop in a strong Rangers lineup.

Chicago White Sox shortstop Braden Shewmake (ankle) is back in the team's Cactus League lineup on Saturday against the Seattle Mariners, playing shortstop and batting ninth in the order. Shewmake has recovered quickly from the left-ankle sprain that he suffered last Sunday and is back in the spring lineup this weekend. The 26-year-old rookie make his big-league debut in 2023 with the Atlanta Braves but made only two appearances, going 0-for-4 at the plate with a strikeout. He was traded to the White Sox last November and should be able to win a bench spot on the Opening Day roster as long as he doesn't suffer a setback with his ankle in the next couple of days. Shewmake figures to serve as the primary backup at the 6 in Chicago this year behind Paul DeJong.

Washington Nationals outfielder Eddie Rosario has been reassigned to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday, but it's a procedural move. The Nationals have until noon on Sunday to add Rosario to their 40-man roster. The move doesn't mean Rosario still can't make the Opening Day roster out of camp. If the 32-year-old left-handed-hitting veteran makes the team, he'll make $4 million in the majors, plus incentives. After signing with Washington on March 6, Rosario has hit just .167 with three RBI and four walks in 18 Grapefruit League at-bats. Still, given the nature of the Nationals' rebuilding roster, Rosario could make the big-league roster and at least serve in a platoon role against right-handed pitching in their outfield in 2024. That would make him fantasy relevant in NL-only leagues for his pop.

The St. Louis Cardinals announced on Saturday that they have reassigned outfield prospect Victor Scott II to minor-league camp. Even though the 23-year-old might be the team's best pure center fielder, the Cardinals are going to have him start the year at Triple-A Memphis so that he can play everyday. Lars Nootbaar (ribs) and Tommy Edman (wrist) are both starting the year on the injured list, but Nootbaar isn't expected to be out long, and the Cardinals would rather see Scott get regular playing time in the minors. Scott looked good this spring, batting .316 with four stolen bases in 10 Grapefruit League games and is certainly worth stashing in deep-mixed and NL-only leagues for his speed. According to MLB Pipeline, he's the team's No. 4 prospect entering the season.

Miami Marlins right-hander Max Meyer has made the team's Opening Day roster and has the inside track to begin the season in the team's starting rotation as their fifth starter, according to a source. If Meyer is indeed in the rotation, he would likely make his first start on April 1 in an excellent matchup against the Los Angeles Angels. The 25-year-old earned a roster spot out of camp by throwing seven scoreless Grapefruit League innings with five strikeouts and only one walk in spring training. He's getting the opportunity with Eury Perez (elbow), Braxton Garrett (shoulder) and Edward Cabrera (shoulder) all starting the year on the shelf, so as soon as one of them is ready to make their 2024 debut, Meyer could be the one to get booted from Miami's rotation.
