The 25-year-old right-hander is a bit of a project and has never pitched above A-ball, though he does own a 2.80 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 66/14 K/BB ratio over 61 innings at Class-A Kannapolis this season.

Muncy was the only hitter on the Dodgers that did any damage against Jose Soriano on Sunday, crushing a first-pitch sinker for a 383-foot (99.2 mph eV) solo homer in the fifth inning that tied the game at 1-1. He finished the night 1-for-2 and is now hitting .227 (5-for-22) with a pair of homers and seven RBI. As long as he’s healthy, he’s going to be a viable contributor for fantasy purposes — just don’t expect him to help you out in batting average.

The 21-year-old hurler struck out four batters on the day while issuing a pair of free passes. The only blemish on his day came on a solo homer off the bat of Taylor Ward. Ferris got six swings and misses on 62 pitches in the ballgame — two each on his fastball, slider and curveball — while registering a CSW of 26 percent. He’ll open the year as extra rotation depth for the Dodgers in the upper minor leagues.

Ward finally got the Halos on the board in the third inning with a 399-foot (101.2 mph EV) solo shot off of Jackson Ferris. That would wind up being their only tally in the ballgame. The 31-year-old outfielder finished his day 1-for-3 plus a walk and is now hitting .275 (11-for-40) with one homer, four RBI and one stolen base on the spring.

The 26-year-old right-hander walked two and struck out two batters on the evening. The lone tally against him came on a solo shot off the bat of Max Muncy in the fifth inning. Soriano got seven whiffs on 85 pitches on the night, posting an underwhelming CSW of 20 percent. He finishes the spring with a 3.60 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 21/10 K/BB ratio over 20 innings.

Raleigh gave the M’s a 3-2 lead with his towering solo shot off of Garrett Stallings in the fifth inning. The hard-hitting 28-year-old backstop then capped off the scoring in the ballgame with his solo blast to right off of Kaleb Bowman to finish off a seven-run uprising in the eighth inning. He has performed about as expected this spring, hitting a brutal .193 (11-for-57) but with five long balls and 10 RBI.

Miller punched out five opposing hitters on the afternoon while allowing one base on balls. The Brewers scratched out a pair of unearned runs against him in the third inning, then Miller served up a two-run homer to Wes Clarke before exiting in the sixth. The 26-year-old hurler got just four swings and misses on 76 pitches in the game, registering a CSW of 30 percent. He finishes Cactus League play with a respectable 3.77 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and a 17/3 K/BB ratio over 14 1/3 innings.

The 21-year-old budding superstar tagged Rockies’ top pitching prospect Chase Dollander for his solo shot to center that gave the Brewers an early 1-0 advantage that they’d never relinquish. Chourio also walked and scored a run in the contest, finishing the day 1-for-3. On the spring he’s hitting an absolutely absurd .468 (22-for-47) with a homer, eight RBI and six stolen bases.

The 26-year-old right-hander allowed two hits in the contest and didn’t walk a batter. Rodriguez got himself out of trouble with a pair of strikeout in the opening inning, then came back and struck out the side in his second inning of work. He’s expected to function in a multi-inning role out of the Brewers’ bullpen to open the 2025 season which makes him a tough sell from a fantasy perspective outside of NL-only formats.

Freeman, who was acquired from the Guardians for Nolan Jones on Friday, started at second base and batted leadoff for the Rockies on Sunday. He led off the game with a single off of Elvin Rodriguez, but wound up stranded at third base. Freeman then reached on a fielder’s choice in the eighth inning and swiped second base, but the Rockies couldn’t cash him in. He’s expected to see fairly regular action at second base for the Rockies with Thairo Estrada (wrist) sidelined.

On the plus side, Dollander did pile up six strikeouts in the ballgame while issuing only one free pass. The 23-year-old hurler served up a pair of home runs in this one — a solo shot to Jackson Chourio in the opening inning and a two-run blast to Vinny Capra in the fourth. The Rockies’ top pitching prospect concludes Cactus League play with a troublesome 7.13 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 24 punchouts over 17 2/3 innings. He’ll work through his issues at the Triple-A level before getting a shot with the Rockies at some point later in the season.
