Fantasy Impact: Church battled lat issues for much of 2025, limiting him to just 12 innings between the majors and minors. His availability for the start of the regular season remains uncertain, but when he does return, he should be in the mix for high-leverage work out of the bullpen.

Fantasy Impact: After a strong 2023 season with the Chicago Cubs, during which he posted a 3.38 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 72 innings, Merryweather struggled in 2024 and 2025 with ERAs north of 5.50. He’ll look to put together a strong spring in hopes of earning a spot in the Minnesota Twins’ bullpen for opening day.
