Arrázúa's Bat Sores Bring Down Streakers in Thrilling 9- Innings!

Every week, we will update fantasy baseball managers with all the MLB news they may have missed as we make our way through spring training and get closer to Opening Day. Bad news for Hunter Greene We wrote last week that we were holding our breath regarding budding ace Hunter Greene, who had been shut down from throwing due to elbow stiffness. Well, the worst has come to pass, as Greene is expected to miss three months due to bone chips in that elbow .

Greene is going from a consensus top-20 starter in fantasy drafts to likely not being drafted at all when it’s all said and done. With Greene out of commission, the spotlight in Cincinnati now goes to Andrew Abbott, a polarizing player in his own right (is he a sleeper or a trap? ) and Chase Burns, a young breakout candidate.

Abbott (179 ADP) has been named the Reds’ Opening Day starter, while Burns (123 ADP) is your classic high-ceiling, what-is-his-floor option. Cade Cavalli named Nats’ Opening Day starter Cade Cavalli isn’t being drafted in Yahoo leagues, but that could change. The Nationals have announced him as the Opening Day starter for the team, no doubt influenced by Cavalli’s pristine play through spring training thus far.

Cavalli has yet to allow a run in nine innings (three starts) with nine strikeouts. 2025 was a tough year for Cavalli. He made his return from Tommy John surgery after missing nearly two seasons with increased velocity, but his command was off, as is common with pitchers returning from the treatment.
