Chicago White Sox DFS SPIN

White Sox general manager Rick Hahn told reporters that Yoán Moncada (back) will play on Opening Day after going through a team workout Wednesday. Moncada left last Sunday's game with what was descried as back tightness. He's apparently good to go for the start of the regular season.

Houston Astros DFS SPIN

Astros skipper Dusty Baker announced Tuesday that Cesar Salazar has earned a spot on the team's Opening Day roster. The 27-year-old is a catcher by trade, but also saw action at first base, second base and left field during the 2022 season in the minor leagues. There, he slashed .265/.338/.445 with 16 homers, 60 RBI and eight swipes over 102 games between Double-A Corpus Christi and Triple-A Sugar Land. He'll add depth and versatility to the Astros' bench, but is unlikely to make an impact from a fantasy perspective.
