Recent developments in fantasy baseball highlight crucial updates for managers to consider as the season approaches. Notably, Gerrit Cole's Tommy John surgery announcement significantly impacts both keeper leagues and the New York Yankees' rotation, leaving them without two key pitchers. The Yankees may seek to bolster their staff through trades, targeting veterans or promising arms.

The emergence of Will Warren as a potential option has caught attention, showcasing a solid mix of pitches this spring. Fantasy players should weigh his prospects against the more established pitchers in the league. Meanwhile, Gavin Williams, while impressive, raises concerns over pitch development, as he leans heavily on his fastball without diversifying effectively.
