Fantasy Impact: Burrows was acquired in a trade from the Pirates earlier this week. He is coming off a campaign where he posted a 3.94 ERA across 19 starts in Pittsburgh. The new pitch is expected to help him against left-handers moving forward. He'll hold some late-round appeal in fantasy drafts.
The Rays acquired OF Jacob Melton from the Astros in a three-team trade.
Fantasy Impact: Melton made his MLB debut this past season, while also hitting .286 in Triple-A. He will enter spring training competing for an immediate role in the outfield for Tampa Bay.
