Fantasy Impact:

Manzardo’s left shoulder inflammation sidelines him Friday, but the 24-year-old has a few exhibition games left before the Guardians’ Opening Day in Kansas City on Thursday to prove readiness. Severity pends. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should stash him, banking on his bat for early value in Cleveland’s 2025 lineup if this proves minor and he’s cleared by next week.
