Austin Nola's finger injury creates a short-term opportunity for Victor Caratini and perhaps Luis Campusano. Plus updates on Realmuto, Grisham, Hunter Harvey and more.
TOR's spring lineups may indicate big things ahead for Rowdy Tellez and less good news for a teammate. Also: The bench battle in BAL; Chavis and Houck's uphill battles in BOS; the fifth-starter duel in NYY; and catching thoughts in TAM.
Minor league options factor into the division's few starting job battles. Notably so in TEX, where resurgent Ronald Guzman suddenly looks like a good bet to be the Opening Day 1B again. We look at the competition in LAA, SEA, and more...
Dansby Swanson's skills are as pretty as his name, but who'll back him up if his season takes a swan dive? Plus: 2B options for NYM and MIA; back of the rotation hopefuls in WAS and PHI; more.
BaseballHQ health grades are simple, intuitive, and a very good predictor of future injuries, but they don't always tell the whole story. Check inside for a group of players who's health grade needs some context.
Jonathan India could be an early-season call-up for CIN. Plus, the rotation battle for CHC, why MIL pitchers will benefit from the team's offseason signings, projecting the batting order for STL, and the catcher situation in PIT.
Jake Cronenworth appears to be the frontrunner for playing time at second base in SD. Plus, playing time battles at second and third base in SF, depth pitching in LA and COL, and first base depth in ARI.
Cedric Mullins' first 111 plate appearances as a RHB did not go well, and now he plans to focus on hitting left-handed exclusively. Will it boost his playing time picture? Also: Duran's early flash in BOS, batting around the batting order in NYY, Brujan's path to relevance in TAM and Pearson's injury in TOR.
