Fantasy Baseball Prospect Report
Player News
Wade Miley is expected to resume throwing soon after leaving his rehab start Sunday with a groin injury.
Fortunately, it wasn’t a setback with his arm as he makes his way back from Tommy John. An MRI on his groin came back negative, so he could resume pitching in minor league games within a couple of weeks.
Tyler Stephenson will play in at least two more games for Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday and Wednesday.
It looked like Stephenson might make his 2025 debut today after missing the last month with an oblique strain, but he requested some additional minor league at-bats. He’s thus far gone 3-for-17 with a homer in five games for Louisville.
Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said he expects Mark Andrews to remain with the Ravens.
We’re losing a staple of the on-again/off-again veteran tight end trade market posts this offseason. DeCosta said this after Day 2 of the draft, implying that the Ravens likely would only have moved on from Andrews if they received more than a Day 3 pick. Andrews can continue to be penciled in as a mid-range TE1 in fantasy drafts now that we know for certain he’s attached to Lamar Jackson for another season.
Guardians recalled RHP Cody Bolton from Triple-A Columbus.
Bolton will be making his Guardians debut. The 26-year-old had a 6.33 ERA in 16 relief appearances for the Pirates in 2023 and a 4.34 ERA in 17 relief appearances for the Mariners last season. The Guardians picked him up earlier this month after Seattle designated him for assignment.
Guardians optioned LHP Joey Cantillo to Triple-A Columbus.
Cantillo had a 2.35 ERA in 15 1/3 innings out of the pen, though that was largely because five of the nine runs he’d allowed were unearned. One imagines the Guardians will stretch him back out now to have him available as a rotation alternative. He threw a season-high 55 pitches on Sunday, so he wasn’t going to be available for a couple of days anyway.
The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia believes Dalton Kincaid can be a “post-hype sleeper” for the Bills in 2025.
It’s certainly more of an opinion than a fact, but Buscaglia writes that Kincaid “can be the single-most important key to giving the Bills a different element to their game.” Perhaps more notable is the fact that Kincaid is healthy after dealing with “ill-timed injuries” last season, which includes but are perhaps not limited to a knee injury that led to him missing four regular season games. Kincaid caught 73 passes for 673 and two touchdowns as a rookie in 2023, but was limited to just 44-448-2 across 13 games last season. Kincaid was selected 25th overall by the Bills two seasons ago and will hopefully have more to offer in his third season. A more reliable role could have him on the fantasy radar as a low-end TE1 after he ranked 11th amongst TE in points as a rookie.
