Fantasy Impact:

Nikhazy’s spring faltered with seven runs on five hits and six walks in 8.2 innings, despite 12 strikeouts, sending him to Columbus. His 2.87 ERA at Triple-A last year hints at a 2025 debut shot. Fantasy managers in dynasty setups could stash him, banking on his strikeout stuff paying off mid-season if he refines his command.
