Fantasy Impact:

Ginkel’s 1 run and 8:1 K:BB over 6 Cactus League innings get sidelined by a late shoulder issue Tuesday, paving the way for Justin Martinez and A.J. Puk as early closers, with a short IL stint expected. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should stash him, banking on a quick 2025 return to Arizona’s bullpen.
