Spring's Shining Star Fades - A Rebound Imminent for Varsho?
Blue Jays' Daulton Varsho didn't quite light up the spring training skies, but his base-stealing and K:BB ratio hinted at breakout potential. Now, with an underwhelming season start, the outfielder is sitting at a batting ninth spot, and fantasy managers are getting antsy. Yet, don't lose hope! Improved contact metrics and a history of defensive prowess could signal a turnaround for Varsho. Keep an eye out, as his climb back up the batting order could spell a resurgence in fantasy relevance.
Phillies' Kerkering Shakes Off IL Stint - Relief Pitcher to Watch
Orion Kerkering is back on the scene after a foreboding injury scare, and he's looking sharper than ever. With a string of strikeouts in his rehab stint and the Phillies' current closer, José Alvarado showing signs of control issues, Kerkering could soon slide into the spotlight. His dominant arsenal may not snag saves right away, but fantasy league players should consider him a rising star in the relief pitcher ranks.
Grissom's Ready to Bat for Boston - Fenway's Newest Infielder
Vaughn Grissom, traded for Chris Sale, is gearing up to make his mark with the Red Sox. Recovering from a hamstring setback, he's on course for a minor league tune-up. With stellar stats in the minors and a knack for hitting at Fenway's infamous Green Monster, Grissom could soon spice up infield options in fantasy leagues - especially with his batting average prowess. Mixed leagues, watch out; this second baseman could swing into full impact by June.

The Fantasy Realm: Varsho’s Plight & Orion’s Ascent
Daulton Varsho might not have turned into the fantasy supernova some expected, but don't sleep on him yet, folks! The Blue Jays' outfielder’s swingin’ strikes to walks improved from last year, and if you believe in the stolen base tea leaves from spring training, it’s just a matter of time before he finds his groove. Yeah, he's had a slower start in the regular season, but his bat contact is lookin' solid. Fantasy managers, Varsho could still hit that sweet 20-20 (homers-steals), so don’t ditch him from your roster!
Orion Kerkering: The Bullpen’s Rising Star
Orion Kerkering is the arm to watch! After a scare with a phantom forearm strain, Kerkering knocked out 10 strikeouts in his rehab sessions, signaling he's ready to bring fire to the Phillies' bullpen. While the closer spot is a bit of a tease right now, keep an eye on him; his slider and fastball could knock anyone's socks off!
Vaughn Grissom: Ready to Own The Green Monster
Traded from the Braves, Grissom's geared up and back in action for the Red Sox - and this guy's all about doubles, not necessarily homers. Fenway's famous wall could be his new best friend. So while a hamstring injury benched him for spring, he’s revving up in the minors and soon, he might just be the mixed league diamond in the rough.
Quick Hits: To Keep or Not to Keep?
- Lance Lynn: Maybe not a permanent bench warmer, with his eyes on the A's and Brewers.
- Sean Manaea & MacKenzie Gore: Definitely worth a permanent spot. Fingers crossed for their high flyers!
- Michael Kopech: Might not ring the victory bell a lot with the White Sox, but he’ll spin those saves and Ks your way.
