Shohei Ohtani Wins World Baseball Classic MVP Award

Bryce Harper Won't Open Season On 60-Day Injured List

Carson Kelly To Miss Time With Fractured Forearm

Braves To Option Vaughn Grissom, Braden Shewmake

Juan Soto Day-To-Day With Mild Oblique Strain

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani shined bright Tuesday as Team Japan defeated Team USA 3-2 to win the World Baseball Classic. Ohtani served as the team's closer to protect a one-run lead. He allowed a leadoff walk to Jeff McNeil before getting Mookie Betts to ground into a double play. In one of the tournament's greatest moments, Ohtani struck out Mike Trout on a full count to end the game, earning Team Japan the championship and himself the Most Valuable Player Award. Ohtani displayed his elite pitching and hitting skills throughout the tournament, adding further evidence that he is one of fantasy's top players.

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper (elbow) will not open the 2023 regular season on the 60-day injured list, according to president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski. The Phillies can put Harper on the 60-day IL at any time, if needed, retroactive to Opening Day. It doesn't mean that he'll be back earlier than anticipated around midseason, but it keeps the Phillies' options open. The 30-year-old former MVP is recovering from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow and isn't expected to make his 2023 debut until near the end of the first half of the season, and he's unsure if he'll even play the outfield at all this year. Harper is still worth stashing in all fantasy leagues, and managers will be hoping he can pick up right where he left off last postseason at the plate.

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Carson Kelly (forearm) has a fractured right forearm, according to manager Torey Lovullo. Kelly will obviously miss time, but the Diamondbacks haven't given a timetable for his return in 2023. He fractured his arm when he was hit by a pitch in a Cactus League game on Monday against the Chicago White Sox. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if the 28-year-old backstop misses multiple months to open the 2023 regular season. With Kelly now sidelined for the foreseeable future, it makes Gabriel Moreno that much more attractive in two-catcher fantasy leagues after he was acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays in an offseason trade. Jose Herrera is likely to back Moreno up behind the plate.

The Atlanta Braves will option both shortstops Vaughn Grissom and Braden Shewmake to Triple-A Gwinnett to begin the 2023 regular season. Grissom entered spring training as an early favorite to open the year as Atlanta's starting shortstop, but instead it's expected to be veteran Orlando Arcia. Grissom hit an impressive .291/.353/.440 with a .792 OPS, five home runs, 18 RBI, 24 runs scored and five stolen bases in his first 41 MLB games in 2022, but he didn't appear ready to handle the everyday shortstop duties this spring defensively. Shewmake is the team's No. 6 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and the Braves will look to get both he and Grissom regular playing time in the minors to begin the 2023 season. Grissom's fantasy value obviously takes a big hit, but it would be a surprise if he's not back in the majors at some point this year.

San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto (oblique) was removed from Sunday's minor-league "B" game with a "mild left oblique strain." He left after feeling "a little sore" in his left side while striking out in his only at-bat. The 24-year-old was removed for precautionary reasons and is considered "day-to-day." An oblique injury this close to Opening Day can be concerning, and the Padres will be cautious with their star outfielder. He went 6-for-15 with three doubles, two homers, and three walks across four games in the World Baseball Classic. Soto also dealt with a calf strain in late February and early March. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation, and we will keep you posted as more information comes in. Matt Carpenter and Adam Engel would see an uptick in at-bats if Soto were to miss any games. Stay tuned.

Austin Ekeler Would Like To Stay With Chargers

Lamar Jackson Ready To Move On From Ravens?

Texans Sign Dalton Schultz To One-Year Deal

Texans Reach Agreement With Devin Singletary

Bills Sign Damien Harris

The Los Angeles Chargers gave running back Austin Ekeler permission to seek a trade last week after contract-extension talks between the two sides went nowhere. "I think it's really important to put it out there that it's not like, 'Oh, I hate the Chargers and I need to get out of this organization, and I need to leave,'" Ekeler said. "That couldn't be further from the truth. I would like to stay if it was under the right circumstances." Ekeler signed a four-year, $24.5 million contract in 2020, and he's generated 3,195 scrimmage yards in the last two seasons in LA. He's due $6.25 million in base salary in 2023 and doesn't have any guarantees left. There's no timeline on when Ekeler might be traded, but the draft next month could be a soft deadline. The 27-year-old's $6.13 million average per year on his deal ranks 14th among RBs, yet he's a top-five fantasy back.

Baltimore Ravens franchise-tagged quarterback Lamar Jackson is free to speak with other teams, and a representative for Jackson has contacted more than one team in an effort to spark negotiations aimed at a possible offer sheet, according to multiple sources. Jackson reportedly doesn't want a fully guaranteed contract, although he would still like up to $200 million or more in guarantees. One source said Jackson's representative is telling other teams that he is ready to move on from the Ravens. There haven't been any teams that have publicly stated their interest in signing Jackson away from Baltimore, and if a team chooses to do so, they'll have to give up two first-round picks.

The Houston Texans are signing free-agent tight end Dalton Schultz to a one-year deal worth up to $9 million on Monday, according to sources. Schultz has 198 catches and 17 touchdowns over the last three seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and is only 26 years old. The former fourth-round selection by the Cowboys in 2018 had 57 receptions on 89 targets for 577 yards and five touchdowns in 15 regular season starts in his fifth year in the NFL in 2022. At the most shallow position in fantasy football, Schultz has been a TE1 in Dallas the last few years and will be Houston's primary pass-catching tight end. While he still might be a TE1 in 2023, he'll likely be much more volatile overall with the Texans likely to roll with an inexperienced rookie under center.

The Houston Texans reached an agreement to sign former Buffalo Bills free-agent running back Devin Singletary to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to a source. Singletary will give the Texans an additional weapon alongside Dameon Pierce, who thoroughly impressed in his rookie season in 2022 before going down with an injury. The 25-year-old has averaged 4.6 yards per carry in each of the last two seasons with the Bills. Singletary totaled 1,099 scrimmage yards last year with Buffalo and added six touchdowns on 215 total touches. He'll serve as a nice complement in Houston's backfield to Pierce, but as long as Pierce stays healthy, Singletary's fantasy upside remain capped.

The Buffalo Bills have reached an agreement with free-agent running back Damien Harris. It's a one-year deal as Harris attempts to rebuild his value after posting a dud in 2022. This doesn't come as a surprise given the fact the Bills were seeking a "heavy back" in free agency. The departure of Devin Singletary means that Harris should slide right into the starting role in Buffalo. Although, it's worth noting that James Cook and Nyheim Hines should be in the mix as well. Harris should get the bulk of the goal line work, which should be good for his fantasy value. In 2021, Harris finished with 15 touchdowns before posting a down year last season. A move to Buffalo should be good news for the fantasy value of Harris going into next season.
