Fantasy Impact:

Waters’ .188 average and 46.2% strikeout rate this spring land him in Omaha Tuesday, with Dairon Blanco and Mark Canha taking the Royals’ reserve outfield roles for Opening Day. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should stash him, banking on his potential for a 2025 call-up to Kansas City’s lineup if he cuts down strikeouts in the minors.
