Fantasy Impact:

Thaiss’ .892 OPS in 12 Cactus League games lands him as No. 2 behind Korey Lee on Monday, though Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero at Triple-A Charlotte loom for 2025 debuts. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should stash him, banking on his bat for spot value in Chicago’s lineup until the prospects push through later.
