Aaron Nolaβs fastball velocity has been up all spring. Last night was a continuation of that.
JosΓ© BerrΓos is dealing with some βdifferent inflammationβ now in his throwing elbow.
A test for WBC insurance initially showed something, so the #BlueJays did their own MRI.
John Schneider stressed that BerrΓos feels good and will continue throwing, but he wonβt start today.
Tigers re-assign LHP Bryan Sammons and RHPs Tyler Mattison and Cole Waites to minor-league camp. Sammons will be part of Triple-A Toledo rotation. Mattison has put himself in good position to make his MLB debut and find a spot in Detroit bullpen at some point this season.
Matthew Boyd will start Opening Day for the Cubs.
Boyd is back in Cubs camp today after being part of USAβs WBC team.
Bailey Ober made his second spring start today vs. the Red Sox and his fastball averaged 88.8 mph.
He threw 53 pitches and only one cracked 90 mph.

The definitive #FantasyBaseball draft day cheat sheet

Astros closer Josh Hader will start the season on the injured list, manager Joe Espada said. Hader threw his first bullpen session of spring training yesterday and felt good, but the timeline the team has laid out won't have Hader ready for Opening Day.
The Mariners have optioned Blas Castano and Domingo Gonzalez to AAA. Tyler Cleveland, Lazaro Montes, Michael Morales, Spencer Packard and Nick Raposo have been re-assigned to minor league camp.
Tatsuya Imai retired all nine Marlins he faced today in his third Grapefruit League start. Four of them struck out. In Imai's first two spring starts, he threw two pitches harder than 95.7 mph. Today, he threw 20 of them. Imai's fastball sat at 96.7 mph. Imai touched 98 twice.
Finding potentially undervalued players in drafts is key. These three former top prospects are very much worth considering in later rounds of drafts this month. All three could break out in 2026.
Again, some spoilers, but... #RedSox #Marlins #Giants π
Because time between picks varies so much depending on platform (or if it's a slow draft) I didn't incorporate that in this article. I hope that helps!
These four players have higher ADPs than they should. Don't hesitate in drafting each this month. All four could be cornerstone players on your #FantasyBaseball team:

Coby Mayo singles to RF leading off the 4th inning. His team-leading 11th hit this spring. That one was 64.7 mph #orioles
These four players are being drafted far later than they should be.
