Fantasy Impact

Durbin’s .227 spring average with 2 homers and 4 steals keeps him in contention for the Brewers’ third base job, bolstered by Monasterio’s exit Wednesday, though Oliver Dunn and Vinny Capra compete.

Caleb Durbin (forearm) will start at third base and bat eighth in Thursday’s Cactus League game against the White Sox. The 25-year-old had been sidelined for several days after being struck in the forearm by a foul ball over the weekend, but he’s now ready to return to game action.

Fantasy Impact

Durbin has slashed .172/.273/.379 with two home runs and seven runs scored this spring. Notably, Thursday will mark his fourth consecutive start at third base rather than second, which could indicate the Brewers view him as a potential option at the hot corner. With Milwaukee's infield depth unsettled, Durbin's defensive versatility could help him push for an Opening Day roster spot.
