S. Rodríguez - 2B

MIA

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

OAK

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

OAK

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

CHI

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

CIN

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 - 1B

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

LAA

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

CWS

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

OAK

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.

Evan Longoria is getting the day off Wednesday versus the Phillies.

Longoria has been excellent so far this season, slashing .291/.361/.582 with four home runs and four doubles through 16 games, but he'll grab a breather as the Giants wrap up a three-game set in Philadelphia. Tommy La Stella is playing third base and batting leadoff Wednesday afternoon against right-hander Zach Eflin. Donovan Solano is at second base and Wilmer Flores is filling in for Brandon Belt (quad) at first base.

There's still no public timetable on Smith as he recovers from a right shoulder issue, but he is now doing live mound work at the Mets' spring training complex and could soon head to the team's alternate training site. The 28-year-old might be an option for the bullpen in Queens sometime in early-to-mid May.
