Justin Crawford will start the season in Triple-A as @MattGelb first reported. Johan Rojas expected to be Phillies fourth outfielder with more roster moves coming today.

Fantasy Impact:

Crawford’s .337/.386/.462 line, with 26 RBI and 16 steals in 185 plate appearances at Double-A Reading last year, earns him a Triple-A jump with Lehigh Valley for the Phillies. The 21-year-old ascends fast. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should stash him, banking on his bat and speed for a 2025 MLB debut if he keeps raking in the minors.
