Doumit spent three weeks on the DL earlier this season with a strain to the same hamstring. The club expects to know more about the injury on Monday, but manager Jim Tracy indicated that he thought a DL stint was likely.

Yamamoto is ready to head to Japan. He’ll be matched up against Shota Imanaga in the March 18 opener against the Cubs in Tokyo. One imagines things will go better than they did in Japan last year, when he gave up four runs in one inning of work and took a loss to the Padres.

Moreno’s hits both left the bat at 108 mph. He’s a little underrated as a late-round option in the catcher spot in mixed leagues. He definitely doesn’t offer as much power potential as some, but he’s a .280 hitter through 233 big-league games and he’s hitting in one of the game’s most productive lineups, giving him extra run and RBI potential.

Barring an injury, there’s going to be one spot on the Dodgers roster for Pages, Hyeseong Kim and James Outman, at least once the team returns from Japan. The other two both did something good today; Kim singled and stole a base off the bench, while Outman had an RBI triple and a walk. Pages will have to pick it up to ensure that he sticks around.

Friedl has been effective as Cinciannti’s primary table-setter and top-of-the-order spark plug, when healthy, over the last few seasons. The 29-year-old outfielder suited up for only 85 games last year due to injury, but he’s back at full strength this spring, batting .360 (9-for-25) in Cactus League play.

Tatis took Reds ace Hunter Greene deep in the fourth inning when he connected on a blistering 99.4 mph heater. The 26-year-old fantasy superstar was limited to just 102 games last year due to physical issues, but he’s looked healthy this spring the lead up to Opening Day.

Greene continues to light up the radar gun in Cactus League outings. He averaged an impressive 97.6 mph on his four-seam fastball on Monday afternoon, while hitting triple-digits on several occasions. He also mixed in a handful of splitters as well, which is an encouraging development as he continues to search for a reliable third offering. The 25-year-old flamethrower has allowed eight runs with a 16/4 K/BB ratio across 12 innings (four starts) so far. He’s firmly entrenched as a top-30 range starting pitcher for fantasy purposes in drafts this spring.

The statistical results obviously don’t carry much weight at this stage of spring training, especially since King’s fastball velocity appeared to be in midseason form during this one. He finished with only one strikeout and issued three walks. The 29-year-old remains a certifiable upper-echelon, top-15 range starting pitcher for fantasy purposes following last year’s breakthrough campaign.

Teel is 4-for-12 with two homers, a double and a 3/3 K/BB, giving him a 1.384 OPS through nine appearances. The White Sox aren’t going to carry him out of spring training, but there’s a good chance he’ll finish 2025 as the team’s starting catcher.

Both runs came in the first after Severino walked Lenyn Sosa and plunked Luis Robert Jr. to start the game. He settled down nicely from there, but he did wind up taking the loss today.

That brings his Cactus League ERA to 10.00. Gibb was more impressive than expected down the stretch for the A’s last season, but he’s always had an uphill climb as far as winning a rotation spot this spring. He’ll head to Triple-A and await injuries.
