Julio Urias The Front-Runner For Fifth Rotation Spot Show More

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Julio Urias is the front-runner to lock up the fifth rotation spot after a week of spring games. Walker Buehler, Clayton Kershaw, Trevor Bauer and David Price are all locks for the rotation. The 24-year-old went 3-0 with a 3.27 ERA in 11 outings (10 starts) in 2020 after fighting injuries in 2017 and 2018. If the southpaw can clean up his first-inning struggles -- 4.97 career ERA in the first inning -- he could be a dominant starting pitcher. However, don't expect his strikeout rate to be outstanding in a full-time starting role, but his saving grace is that he induces plenty of weak contact. But LA could choose to limit Urias' innings, and Tony Gonsolin and Dustin May are also capable of taking the fifth spot in the rotation, making Urias a somewhat risky SP3.

Framber Valdez May Require Season-Ending Surgery Show More

Houston Astros starting pitcher Framber Valdez may require season-ending surgery to repair his fractured ring finger according to Jon Heyman. If the surgery is required, there is a strong belief that Valdez could miss the entire 2021 campaign. This would be devastating news for Valdez and the Astros after he pitched so well in 2020 with a 3.47 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and 76 strikeouts across 70 2/3 innings pitched. The Astros will continue to gather additional opinions before making any further statements.

Jackie Bradley Jr. Signs With Brewers Show More

The Milwaukee Brewers have agreed to a contract with outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. The outfielder is slated to sign a $24 million contract with the Milwaukee Brewers, according to reports. The Boston Globe reported that the 31-year-old free agent will sign a two-year deal with a player option after the first season. The center fielder had been seeking a "significant" contract in free agency. He leaves the Red Sox with two World Series rings, a Gold Glove, and an American League Championship Series MVP. Bradley is now 31 years old and is not going to develop the power/speed many foretold when he was younger. With that being said, his defense is elite and should keep him in contention for playing time. Bradley will likely be a platoon/bench player and likely wouldn't be extremely relevant in terms of fantasy production in 2021.

Kole Calhoun to Undergo Knee Surgery Wednesday Show More

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Kole Calhoun will undergo surgery on his right knee on Wednesday morning according to The Arizona Republic's Nick Piecoro. Piecoro reports that Calhoun will be undergoing a "right knee medial meniscectomy" and there is currently no information on a timetable for Calhoun's return. Calhoun posted career-highs with a .526 slugging percentage and 12.3 percent walk rate over 54 games in 2020, but it appears likely now he will open the season on the injured list. The Diamondbacks have several players who will have a shot at increased playing time following this injury, with Daulton Varsho likely being the player with the best shot at playing time and fantasy relevancy.
