Fantasy Impact:

Henderson’s Saturday live BP, after Hyde’s Thursday caution on his Opening Day timeline, suggests a short IL stint at worst for the Orioles’ 23-year-old star with his side rehab on track. Fantasy managers in all leagues should roster him, banking on his elite bat for a swift return to Baltimore’s 2025 lineup, likely missing minimal time if he clears this weekend hurdle.
