With Luke Jackson (back) heading to the injured list, Teng will get a chance to work out of the Giants’ bullpen. The 25-year-old hurler registered a 4.22 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and a 96/48 K/BB ratio across 79 innings at Triple-A Sacramento to end the 2023 campaign. Teng will be making his big league debut when he gets his name called by manager Bob Melvin.

Initially the Twins said that the move was made out of an abundance of caution, but since they sent him for imaging perhaps it’s a bit more serious than that. Given Lewis’ extensive injury history, there’s absolutely reason to be worried here. The Twins are expected to provide an update on his status on Friday after getting the results from that exam.

The right-hander has shed his walking boot and got back on the mound for the first time on Wednesday since suffering a mild ankle sprain. There’s still plenty of time for him to get himself ready for the start of the regular season.

Raleigh smacked the first of three straight doubles off of Joey Cantillo in the opening inning and scored the game’s first run on an RBI two-bagger off the bat of Julio Rodriguez. The hard-hitting backstop then drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the second inning and plated another with an RBI double of his own in the fourth. He’s poised for another monster all-around season at the plate and should rightfully be the first catcher off the board in all fantasy drafts this spring.

The 29-year-old infielder plated a run with a fielder’s choice in the second inning. He then singled and raced home on a Cal Raleigh RBI double in the fourth. Donovan is off to a hot start with his new ballclub, batting .600 (3-for-5) with an RBI and a pair of runs scored through his first two games. He batted leadoff for the M’s once again in this one and it seems like that’s where he’ll be situated to open the season.

Miller allowed a pair of doubles in the opening inning, but Angel Martinez was caught stealing which helped the right-hander to avoid any damage. He then returned for the second inning where he punched out Nolan Jones and allowed a single to Johnathan Rodriguez before turning the ball over to the bullpen. The 27-year-old hurler showed increased velocity in this one, averaging 97.3 mph on his fastball, up 2.5 mph from his season average in 2025. There are injury concerns after Miller opted against surgery despite being diagnosed with bone spurs in his elbow, but if he can stay healthy Miller offers tremendous fantasy upside at a discount price.

The 23-year-old outfielder pulled the Guardians to within two runs at 7-5 when he tagged Ryan Loutos for a three-run blast (102.2 mph EV) in the seventh inning. He also led off the ninth inning with a single and came around to score on an error. Halpin saw action with the Guardians down the stretch in 2025 and could open the season in a bench role for the Guardians in 2026.

Cantillo also issued one walk, while one of his four outs recorded came via the strikeout. Cantillo gave up two runs in the first on three consecutive doubles from Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodriguez and Randy Arozarena. The M’s then pushed another pair of runs across against him in the second inning before his day mercifully ended. After being hit hard in his first spring start as well, Cantillo will need to turn things around soon or his spot in the Guardians’ Opening Day rotation could be in jeopardy.

The Diamondbacks entered the home half of the fifth inning trailing 8-0, but they never gave up. They were trailing 10-9 entering the eighth but tied it up on an RBI single by Kristian Robinson before Baker crushed a 408-foot (109.5 mph EV) three-run shot off of Shane Panzini to put the Diamondbacks ahead for good. Baker also drew a walk in the ballgame, finishing the afternoon 1-for-1 with a pair of runs scored. He’ll need a monster spring to have a shot at cracking the Opening Day roster.

The 32-year-old southpaw didn’t strike out or walk a batter in the contest. All three hits that he allowed came in the second inning and were all singles — though he coaxed a double play ball out of Jac Caglianone to avoid any damage. He’s coming off of a brutal 2025 season in which he registered a 5.02 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP across 154 1/3 innings, but we have seen the type of upside Rodriguez can have when he is going well.

The 23-year-old slugger started the scoring in the slugfest with an RBI single in the third inning. He then advanced on a wild pitch and scored on an RBI single by Carter Jensen. Caglianone then delivered a two-run double in the fifth that increased the Royals’ lead to 5-0 before scoring on an RBI double off the bat of Michael Massey. Despite the struggles in his debut, Caglianone possesses massive power upside heading into the 2026 campaign, especially with the Royals moving in and lowering their fences.
