Fantasy Impact:
Murdock’s 3 runs and 7:5 K:BB over 7.2 spring innings earned him a low-leverage relief role with the Athletics for Opening Day. The towering righty’s Rule 5 status ensures early MLB time. Fantasy managers in deep leagues can roster him as a speculative add, hoping his groundball tendencies translate to value if he sticks in Oakland’s bullpen.
