Fantasy Impact:

Newcomb’s 0.63 ERA and 13:3 K:BB in 14.1 spring innings over 5 outings boost his rotation odds Tuesday, with Quinn Priester out and Cooper Criswell vying, though Brayan Bello and Lucas Giolito loom for April returns. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should stash him, banking on early value in Boston’s 2025 rotation if he secures this short-term gig.
