Fantasy Impact:
Brown’s 3 runs (2 earned) in 2.2 relief innings in Japan last week, atop a 3.58 ERA and 64:19 K:BB in 55.1 rookie innings last year, secure his Cubs rotation spot Tuesday, though Javier Assad’s return looms. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster him, banking on early value in Chicago’s 2025 rotation.
