Fantasy Impact:

Mercado’s 7.04 ERA and 8:5 K:BB in 7.2 spring innings, atop an 11.08 ERA in 13 MLB frames last year, land him in Lehigh Valley over a Phillies roster spot Sunday. The 25-year-old resets. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should stash him, banking on his minor-league promise for a 2025 call-up if he builds on last year’s Triple-A success.
