Fantasy Impact:

Bigge’s 2 runs and 6:1 K:BB in 7 spring innings couldn’t secure an Opening Day spot, sending him to Durham Friday, though his power arm hints at a quick Rays return. The 26-year-old awaits. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should stash him, banking on his heat for a midseason role in Tampa Bay’s 2025 bullpen if he dominates at Triple-A.
