Fantasy Impact:

After going through successful Tommy John surgery nine months ago, Wieters caught six innings in his first start this spring. It doesn't sound like this is much of a surprise as manager Buck Showalter said "It was something we were all kind of expecting at some point". He could return to the lineup as a DH on Sunday and catching opening day is still a possibility as well.
