The 32-year-old hurler is currently in minor league camp and will not get an invitation to the big league side — at least as of now. Burdi appeared in 12 games with the Yankees during the 2024 season, registering a 1.86 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and a 12/9 K/BB ratio over 9 2/3 innings. He’ll add quality bullpen depth for the Red Sox.

Young entered the game as a pinch-hitter in the sixth inning where he grounded out to second base. He made an impact in the seventh though with a go-ahead RBI double that proved to be the difference in the ballgame. The M’s have talked about trying Young out at second base at some point in 2025 and if he keeps hitting like this he could push the issue sooner rather than later. He’s at least a name for those in deeper mixed leagues to keep an eye on.

The only hitter that reached against the 25-year-old hurler was Luis Arraez who reached on an error by the shortstop. It’s unclear if Woo was originally slated to work just one inning in his spring debut, but because he flew through it so quickly they gave him another couple of batters. Overall he threw 14 of his 21 pitches for strikes while getting one swing and miss and posting a CSW of 19 percent. For as long as he’s able to avoid the injured list, expect Woo to put up stellar numbers throughout the 2025 season, just be aware that the injury risk is always present.

Arraez reached base on an error in his first at-bat but wound up stranded at first base. He then tied the game with a sharp RBI single into center off of Luis F. Castillo in the third inning. Unfortunately for the Padres, that would be their only tally in the contest. Arraez is off to a solid start this spring, hitting .375 (3-for-8) with a pair of RBI. You can expect him to continue to hit for a strong average in the regular season, but his contributions in the power and speed departments will remain limited.

The 30-year-old two-way superstar showed no ill-effects of his shoulder surgery, launching a full-count fastball from Yusei Kikuchi for a leadoff home run. Ohtani also struck out and popped out to shortstop in the ballgame. Ohtani isn’t likely to debut on the mound until the beginning of May, but he’ll assuredly be in the Dodgers’ lineup when they kick off the regular season in Japan against the Cubs in a couple of weeks.

One positive takeaway is that two of the three outs that he did record came via the strikeout. May retired the Angels in order in the first inning, including punchouts of Logan O’Hoppe and Taylor Ward. It was a much different outcome in the second inning though as May walked the first two hitters, Tim Anderson reached on an error and Jo Adell cleared the bases with a grand slam. Expect May to continue to show rust and inconsistency after missing most of the past two seasons due to injuries.

The Dodgers jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning of this one, but the Angels stormed back against Dustin May in the second. There, Nolan Schanuel and Yoan Moncada drew walks to start the inning then Tim Anderson reached on an error, setting the stage for Adell who cleared them with a thunderous blast. Adell finished the evening 1-for-3 with a strikeout and is hitting just .083 (1-for-12) with three strikeouts so far on the spring.

Kikuchi walked one and struck out three opposing batters in the contest. He served up an opposite field solo homer to Shohei Ohtani to start the ballgame then consecutive singles to Mookie Betts and Tommy Edman before retiring Will Smith on strikes. Max Muncy added a sacrifice fly to push the second run across. Kikuchi was much better in the second, retiring the Dodgers in order including strikeouts of Miguel Rojas and Andy Pages. Overall, he got five swings and misses on 47 pitches, posting a CSW of 34 percent. The Halos’ Opening Day starter is currently being drafted just outside the top 150 players overall in fantasy drafts.

Bellinger got a 3-1 fastball from Jake Bloss in the first inning and didn’t miss it, crushing a 359-foot (103.5 mph EV) solo shot that increased the Yankees’ early advantage to 2-0. He also doubled off of Ryan Jennings in the third inning but was left stranded there. The 29-year-old slugger finished the evening 2-for-3 and is now hitting .500 (5-for-10) with a homer and two RBI in early spring action.

The 34-year-old right-hander punched out five batters on the evening and didn’t issue a base on balls. It should be taken with a bit of a grain of salt, as the Blue Jays’ lineup contained only three potential regulars — Joey Loperfido, Anthony Santander and Will Wagner. His punchout victims were Loperfido, Arjun Nimmala, Orelvis Martinez and Addison Barger (twice). The damage done against Cole came in the third inning on an RBI double off the bat of Wagner. He got seven swings and misses on 46 pitches in the contest, registering an elite CSW of 39 percent. His fastball velocity averaged 95.0 mph, which was a bit under his 2024 average (95.9 mph) and well under where he has been in season’s past. On average, Cole has been the 13th starting pitcher off the board in early drafts.
