Sixto Sanchez, RHP, Marlins: Before this spring, Sanchez hadn’t gotten onto a mound in an official game since March 25, 2021, when he made his last spring training appearance before going on the injured list for all of the past two seasons. But Sanchez has shown enough this spring to offer hope that he’s back after two shoulder surgeries. He seemed like a long shot to make the team coming into spring training, and he is out of options, so it seemed like he had a good chance to be designated for assignment. Instead, Sanchez has made the Marlins’ roster and looks like a solid contributor out of the bullpen. Sanchez sat at 95 mph on Sunday and touched 97 while striking out four in two scoreless innings. Sanchez has yet to allow a run in nine innings over six appearances. He’s struck out eight, walked three and is holding opponents to a .103 batting average.

Owen Caissie, OF, Cubs: No team has more big league ready talent sitting in the upper minors than the Orioles, but you could make a pretty strong argument that the Cubs have the second most. Players like Caissie may not make the Opening Day roster, but they could make it to Chicago at some point this year. Caissie hit his third home run of a strong spring on Sunday, as he raised his slash line to .333/.409/.564.

Charlie Condon, 3B/OF, Georgia: Rain forced Georgia and Alabama to play a doubleheader on Saturday. That seemed to suit Georgia outfielder/third baseman Charlie Condon, as he hit three home runs over the two games, giving him 17 home runs in just 25 games this year. Condon also played four different positions this weekend, as he played all three outfield positions in addition to third base. Condon, who ranks No. 1 on the Baseball America updated Top 300 draft rankings, is hitting .517/.637/1.213.

Travis Bazzana, 2B, Oregon State: Bazzana has hit a leadoff homer in four consecutive games for Oregon State. Amazingly, that’s underselling how hot he has been recently. Bazzana added a second home run in Sunday’s game, which gave him eight home runs in his past five games. He’s now hit 14 home runs overall this year and is hitting .467/.581/1.053 in 23 games played. He has gone hitless in only three of his 23 games, and he’s reached base in every game this year. He has 23 strikeouts and six walks.

In case you missed it…

Jackson Chourio, OF, Brewers: Chourio, Baseball America’s No. 2 prospect, has officially made the Brewers Opening Day roster, the team announced on Friday. The news is not much of a surprise, and has largely been expected since he agreed to a eight-year, $82 million contract during the offseason. But it doesn’t diminish how exceptional Chourio’s speedy arrival is. If he plays on Opening Day, he will be 20 years and 18 days old for his debut. That will make him the youngest position player to play in the majors since Juan Soto debuted as a 19-year-old in 2018. The only other younger position player debuts in the 21st century are Jurickson Profar and Bryce Harper (2012), Mike Trout (2011), Justin Upton (2007), B.J. Upton (2004), Jose Reyes (2003) and Wilson Betemit (2001).

Wyatt Langford, OF, Rangers: It counts as only a mild surprise considering how dominant he was all spring, but the Rangers also announced on Friday that Langford has made the team’s Opening Day roster. Langford, the fourth pick in the 2023 MLB draft, is second among all MLB players in slugging percentage (.732), third in OPS (1.161) and tied for first in hits (21). He’s also in the top three in batting average (.375) and home runs (6).

Jackson Holliday, 2B/SS, Orioles: The Orioles announced on Friday that Jackson Holliday has been reassigned to the minor leagues to begin the 2024 season. Holliday joined Heston Kjerstad, Connor Norby, Coby Mayo and Kyle Stowers in being reassigned, which seemed to up the chances that Colton Cowser would make the Opening Day roster for Baltimore. The Orioles then informed Cowser on Sunday that he indeed made the club. A number of the players sent down had starred this spring. Stowers’ seven home runs are tied for the spring training lead for all 30 MLB clubs. Mayo was hitting .326/.426/.543 and Holliday was hitting .311/.354/.600.

Buzz Continues To Follow Yanks LHP

Henry Lalane, LHP, Yankees: The 19-year-old lefty was one of the buzziest names of the winter, and he did little to tamp down the hype in his Spring Breakout outing, touching 97 mph while striking out three Blue Jays batters. This week, Yankees correspondent Mike Ashmore dives into how the Yankees plan to help Lalane take the next step in 2024.
