Fantasy Impact:

Hicks, a Rule 5 pick from the Tigers, boasts a 5:5 BB:K in 11 spring games but hits .227 with one double, securing the Marlins’ No. 2 catcher role behind Fortes. Ramirez waits in Triple-A. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should roster him, eyeing his discipline for spot starts until Miami’s rebuild shifts focus later in 2025.
