Fantasy Impact:

Cavalli’s Thursday live BP, his spring debut against hitters post-Tommy John from two years back, keeps him on the Nationals’ IL to start, with a second-half rotation shot if his elbow holds in the minors. The 26-year-old progresses. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should stash him, eyeing his arm for a midseason boost to Washington’s 2025 rotation.
