S. Rodríguez - 2B

Sean Rodriguez was involved in a car accident on Sunday and is said to be in stable condition.

He was driving with his family when they were T-boned by someone driving a stolen police car. His wife is okay, but was in the hospital, and his children are in serious, but stable condition. Thoughts and prayers go out to the Rodriguez family.

M. Canha - LF

NYM

Mark Canha (hip) has added 10 pounds this offseason. He feels great and won't be limited in any way this spring.

Canha had surgery in May last season to repair a left hip impingement and labral tear. He had a good rookie season in 2015 and seems to be ready for 2017 after adding the extra muscle. He won't have any limitations in spring training and could be a sleeper in fantasy leagues this season.

J. Lowrie - 2B

Manager Bob Melvin says he will ease 2B Jed Lowrie (toe) in during the spring.

Lowrie had surgery in August to repair ligament damage in his left foot. Lowrie seems to be recovering well and hasn't suffered any setbacks at this time. He turns 33 this season and with a batting average of .246 over the last two seasons he isn't worth drafting in most leagues.

J. Phegley - C

Manager Bob Melvin hopes C Josh Phegley (knee) will be ready for spring training.

Back in August Phegley was treated for synovitis in his right knee. This injury is usually very painful and requires for the synovial membrane to be removed. Playing catcher is a ton of stress on the knees so the Athletics will be cautious with him and not rush him back until he is 100 percent healthy.

M. Moustakas - 3B

COL

Mike Moustakas said his knee is "almost 100 percent." He shouldn't have limitations in the spring, but'll likely have a slower schedule than usual.

Moustakas had ACL surgery last May and shouldn't have any limitations once Spring Training starts. The Royals will bring him back slow to make sure he is fully healthy for the start of the season. Before the injury, Moustakas played in 27 games in 2016 and had a batting average of .240 with seven home runs and 13 RBIs.

G. Parra - LF

WSH

Gerardo Parra is feeling strong and has fully recovered from his high ankle sprain.

Parra was only able to play in 102 games in 2016, and largely disappointed owners who expected big things with the move to Coors Field. It is unclear what his role will be going forward, but most signs point to a platoon. He is not someone to target in most formats, unless he is able to win a job outright in the Spring.

T. Zych - RP

NYY

Tony Zych (shoulder) started a light throwing program.

Zych is expected to be ready for Spring Training, but figures to be in the middle of the Seattle bullpen. His value in fantasy is limited.

S. Cishek - RP

WSH

Steve Cishek (hip) started a light throwing program.

Cishek is still a ways away from being able to appear in a game, so he is best forgotten at this point. He is still a speculative add down the line in case Edwin Diaz stumbles in the closer role. Cishek himself has had his struggles in the same role as well, so keep expectations in check.

M. Betts - RF

Mookie Betts will not have any restrictions when spring training begins.

Betts had his knee scoped and had some "loose bodies" removed in the off season, which will cause him to miss the World Baseball Classic. Betts is a consensus first rounder heading into 2017, and it is easy to see why after he filled the stat sheet with 31 homers 113 RBI, 26 steals and 122 runs. Hitting in a talented Red Sox lineup, there is no reason to believe he will not post a similar season in 2017.

V. Martínez - DH

Victor Martinez had hernia surgery in October.

In 154 games in 2016 the veteran hit .289/.351/.476 with 27 homers and 86 RBI. Martinez only started 5 games at first, so his days in the field are all but over, which pigeonholes him in fantasy to your DH spot. His numbers speak for themselves however, and you could do much worse in your DH spot come draft day.

D. Keuchel - SP

Dallas Keuchel (shoulder) has been playing catch three times a week.

Keuchel finished the season on the DL due to an ailing shoulder. He had a horrible follow up to a fantastic breakout 2015, finishing with a 4.55 ERA over 168 innings, with a 1.29 WHIP. He'll be far cheaper this draft day than in past years, but unless he regains some of his previous velocity and command, that's where he will finish the season as well.

J. Diekman - RP

Jake Diekman underwent successful surgery on his colon.

Diekman had surgery today to treat his colitis, which is a very painful digestive condition. The Rangers pitcher has dealt with colitis for his entire career but the condition got worse recently which prompted Diekman to opt for surgery. He's expected to miss at least half of the season for Texas. The 30-year-old appeared in 66 games out of the bullpen in 2016, notching 26 holds and sporting a solid 1.17 WHIP.

C. Salazar - C

HOU

The Astros are expected to option CÃ©sar Salazar to Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday.

It sounds like the Astros are going to promote Grae Kessinger from Triple-A on Monday and to do so they need to free up a spot on the active roster. Salazar, 27, has seen very limited action with the Astros -- hitting .143 (2-for-14) with a 4/1 K/BB ratio.

G. Kessinger - SS

HOU

According to Mark Berman of FOX 26 in Houston, the Astros are expected to promote infielder Grae Kessinger from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday.

It'll be the first trip to the big leagues for the 25-year-old infielder. Kessinger -- a second-round pick from the 2019 draft class -- has hit .284/.400/.443 with six homers, 32 RBI and two stolen bases in 52 games at Triple-A Sugar Land this season. He'll add depth and versatility off of the Astros' bench but can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

K. Maeda - SP

MIN

Kenta Maeda struggled through three innings in his latest minor league rehab start at Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, giving up two runs on five hits over his three frames.

On the plus side, the right-hander struck out four batters on the day and didn't issue a base on balls. Maeda threw just 45 pitches in the ballgame -- 29 of those for strikes. He's going to need at least a few more rehab outings before he becomes an option to rejoin the Twins' rotation.

A. Judge - RF

NYY

Aaron Judge told reporters after Sunday's victory over the Dodgers that he'll undergo additional testing on his right big toe on Monday.

It sounds like there's at least some concern that Judge could have a broken big toe -- which would obviously send him to the injured list for a while. The Yankees are off on Monday, but pay close attention to the news coming out of New York as the reigning American League MVP could wind up being shelved for at least a few weeks. All fantasy managers can do at this stage is wait and hope for the best.

H. Kjerstad - RF

BAL

The Orioles are promoting top outfield prospect Heston Kjerstad to Triple-A Norfolk.

The 24-year-old outfielder was the second overall selection from the 2020 draft. He began the 2023 campaign at Double-A Bowie where he slashed .300/.370/.572 with 11 homers, 22 RBI, three stolen bases and a 31/13 K/BB ratio in 200 plate appearances. There's not much left for him to prove at the minor league level and he should debut in Baltimore at some point this summer.

Anthony Volpe swatted a two-run homer in the ninth inning on Sunday as the Yankees triumphed over the Dodgers 4-1.

Volpe transformed a tense one-run game into a comfortable three-run lead for the Bombers in the ninth inning when he crushed a Caleb Ferguson offering for a 399-foot (108.4 mph EV) two-run blast. The rookie shortstop also singled in the contest, finishing the night 2-for-4. he continues to take his lumps at the big league level overall -- slashing .193/.268/.363 to go with nine homers, 26 RBI and 13 stolen bases on the season.

NYY

Isiah Kiner-Falefa went 1-for-3 with a single, walk and a run scored as the Yankees eked out a victory over the Dodgers on Sunday night in Los Angeles.

Kiner-Falefa -- who is functioning as the club's regular center fielder while Harrison Bader is sidelined -- had a single that contributed to the Yankees' scoring their first run in the seventh inning. He then drew a walk and rode home on Anthony Volpe's two-run shot in the ninth. On the season, the versatile 28-year-old is now hitting .222/.269/.341 with three homers, 14 RBI and five swipes on the season.

W. Peralta - RP

NYY

Wandy Peralta notched his fourth save of the season on Sunday night, recording the final four outs in a victory over the Dodgers.

Peralta was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the eighth inning and got Freddie Freeman to bounce back to the mound. The Yankees scored him a pair of runs in the top half of the ninth to take the pressure off a bit, then Peralta returned to work a scoreless ninth to close it out. The left-hander has been a weapon out of the Yankees' bullpen this season -- compiling a 2.84 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and a 24/15 K/BB ratio across 25 1/3 frames.
