Fantasy Impact:

Margot’s major-league deal squeezes Malloy, Spencer Torkelson, and Jahmai Jones, vying for two bench spots, down to one with Torkelson’s spring surge and outfield versatility giving him an edge Sunday. Malloy may head to Triple-A Toledo. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues should stash him, banking on his bat for a 2025 Tigers call-up if injuries or needs emerge later.
