Fantasy Baseball Rumors & MLB News

Spencer Steer (shoulder) expected to serve as DH early in spring training

Fantasy Impact

Michael Kopech (forearm) behind schedule in ramp-up

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Michael Kopech is behind schedule in his ramp-up.

Fantasy Impact

Roberts added he is unsure if Kopech will open the season on the injured list. He dealt with arm inflammation in the winter.

Tyler Mahle expected to have normal spring

Rangers right-hander Tyler Mahle is expected to be ready for spring training after elbow and shoulder issues in 2024.

Fantasy Impact

Mahle returned from Tommy John surgery with the Rangers in 2024 but made just three starts before right shoulder stiffness ended his season. The owner of a career 4.32 ERA, Mahle could be a decent bounce-back candidate if his health holds up in 2025 considering he posted a K-BB% north of 19% twice before injuries largely took over in recent seasons.
