Player Notes

  • Clubs homer off bench
    Moore went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in a 6-4 loss to Boston on Thursday.

    Advice: Moore began the game on the bench but entered as a pinch hitter for Dominic Canzone in the seventh inning. The move paid off for Seattle, as Moore slammed a 409-foot, two-run shot to center to bring the Mariners to within a run. Moore slashed .378/.511/.595 with two long balls this spring, but he's had contact issues throughout his big-league career and isn't slated for an everyday role this year, so his fantasy outlook is limited.

  • Reaches thrice, homers
    Biggio went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Thursday's win over Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Biggio was excellent from the nine-slot Thursday, picking up his first long ball of the campaign in just his second at-bat. The 29-year-old has hit better than .235 just once in his five-year career and has seen fewer than 340 plate appearances in four straight campaigns, but he could have the opportunity to exceed both of those marks in 2024 if Thursday is any indication.

  • Marte scores thrice in Opening Day blowout win
    Ketel Marte scored three times while going 3-for-5 and also driving in a run in a blowout win Thursday over the Rockies.

    Advice: Marte was one of six players to score multiple runs for the Diamondbacks on Thursday in a contest where Arizona scored 16 runs against the woeful Rockies. Fourteen of those runs came in the third inning, and Marte’s RBI unsurprisingly came in that frame with a single that plated Alek Thomas. The Diamondbacks lineup should be among the better groups in the National League, and hitting at the top of that group should allow Marte to be among the better run-scoring options throughout the 2024 season — even when they’re not playing Colorado.

  • Christopher Morel triples in loss to Texas
    Christopher Morel went 2-for-5 with a triple and a run scored in an extra-inning loss Thursday to the Rangers.

    Advice: Morel hit cleanup on Thursday while lining up as the designated hitter, and he came around to score on a sacrifice fly from Dansby Swanson in the second inning. It’s a nice start to the year for the 24-year-old, who is coming off a 2023 season where he swatted 26 homers with an .821 OPS over 107 games and 388 at-bats. It’s unlikely he’ll help in the average and steals categories, but Morel could be a fantasy factor because of his power and spot in the Cubs’ lineup. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:30 pm
  • Opens in outfield
    Steer started in left field and went 2-for-3 with a double, a stolen base, two RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Nationals on Opening Day.

    Advice: Steer was part of a productive lower-half of the order, which combined to go 8-for-19 and was responsible for all eight runs and RBI. He qualifies at multiple positions, but the offseason plan was to use him primarily in the outfield. Steer led the team in home runs (23) and RBI (86) last season while stealing a fantasy-helpful 15 bases. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:27 pm
