Anderson Pilar might miss out on an Atlanta bullpen spot, per team updates, despite Monday’s trade of Angel Perdomo to the Angels, with AJ Smith-Shawver in contention. (Justin Toscano)
Fantasy Impact:
Pilar, a Rule 5 pick, boasts 12 strikeouts but 9 runs and 6 walks over 5.2 spring innings, risking a return to the Marlins if Atlanta favors Smith-Shawver as a sixth starter. The 27-year-old’s roster odds waver. Fantasy managers in deep leagues should watch his fate, as his strikeout flair could still shine if he lands a role.
