Fantasy Impact:

Barrero, vying for the Cardinals’ last bench role, heads to Triple-A Memphis Wednesday after losing out to Fermín, set for regular play at shortstop and outfield. The 26-year-old’s versatility remains a plus. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues might stash him, hoping his multi-position skills earn a midseason call-up if St. Louis needs infield or outfield depth in 2025.
