• 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.

  • Hits leadoff home run
    Garcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a strikeout during Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Garcia's home run came on the third pitch he saw, leading off the bottom of the first with a blast over the left-field wall. His homer was the only blemish on Pablo Lopez's line as he shut the door on Garcia and the rest of the Royals lineup. The third basemen parlayed a strong spring into a leadoff role and begins the season with a long ball after hitting just four last season over 464 at-bats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:42 pm
  • Starts season on right foot
    Cruz went 1-for-5, blasting a solo homer while striking out three times during Thursday's Opening Day victory over Miami.

    Advice: Cruz had struggled in his first three at-bats but distributed a 1-0 offering from Sixto Sanchez the opposite way over the left-center field wall to tie the game and eventually lead to the Pirates' victory in extras. The dynamic shortstop played in only nine games last year prior to breaking his leg, but followed up on a strong spring in which he hit seven home runs with a big fly on Opening Day. 2024 is off to a good start for the 25-year-old Cruz and could be the breakout season fantasy managers have been waiting for.

  • Three hits in Opening Day win
    Correa went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a walk in Thursday's Opening Day win at Kansas City.

    Advice: Correa played through plantar fasciitis in his left foot for most of last season but was pain-free in spring training. After one game it looks like full health could result in a bounce-back season. Correa slashed just .230/.312/.399 with 18 home runs and 65 RBI in 580 plate appearances last season.

  • Smacks Opening Day homer
    Cabrera went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Thursday's 5-4 win over Houston.

    Advice: Cabrera singled in the fifth inning before coming around to score when Anthony Rizzo was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. The 25-year-old Cabrera then tied the game 4-4 with a solo homer off Rafael Montero in the sixth, pulling a two-strike slider into the right field bleachers. The switch-hitting Cabrera hit just five home runs in 115 games last season while slashing .211/.275/.299. He figures to see an expanded role due to DJ LeMahieu (foot) being sidelined, though the newly acquired Jon Berti figures to be in the mix at third as well. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:26 pm

  • Tyler Wade knocks in run, steals base in win
    Tyler Wade had a single, an RBI and a stolen base Thursday in the Padres’ 6-4 defeat of the Giants.

    Advice: It’s been really surprising to see Wade start all three games at third base for the Padres, but it’s worked out, as he’s gone 4-for-8 with two RBI. He likely will take a seat on Friday, since the Giants are going to start lefty Kyle Harrison. Eguy Rosario figures to start then. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:16 pm
  • Scores lone run in opening win
    Baez went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Thursday's 1-0 win over the White Sox. He also stole a base.

    Advice: Baez manufactured the game's lone run in the third inning. He led off the frame with a single, stole second, then advanced to third and scored on a pair of sacrifice flies. While it's a decently promising start for the shortstop, it was concerning to see him bat eighth on Opening Day. Baez may be able to have a bounceback campaign in 2024, though it would help his cause if he's able to move up in the order. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:30 pm
  • Oneil Cruz homers, Bucs outlast Fish in marathon
    Oneil Cruz clobbered a solo homer on Thursday, leading the Pirates to a 6-5 extra-inning Opening Day victory over the Marlins.

    Advice: Pittsburgh emerged victorious in a 12-inning Opening Day marathon that took nearly four hours to complete. Cruz’s torrid spring training performance carried over into this one as he launched a game-tying eighth-inning solo shot to left-center field off Marlins reliever Sixto Sánchez. The 25-year-old shortstop batted sixth in this one, which is pretty surprising, and seems unlikely to continue for very long. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:16 pm
