Fantasy Impact:

Birdsong’s 0.75 ERA, 0.50 WHIP, and 18:0 K:BB over 12 spring innings make him a standout for the Giants’ fifth rotation spot, edging Landen Roupp and Kyle Harrison. Melvin says no decision’s final yet. The 23-year-old’s upside tops the group. Fantasy managers in all leagues should roster him, eyeing his strikeout potential for an Opening Day role.
