Fantasy Impact:

Bloss’s 6:6 K:BB and 3 homers over 8 spring innings trail Rodríguez’s struggles, but his recent sharpness keeps him in contention for Toronto’s fifth starter role by March 31 if Scherzer’s delayed. Lauer’s also an option. Fantasy managers in deep leagues might stash Bloss, hoping his late spring form earns an early rotation shot with the Jays.
