Faedo’s shoulder MRI showed no major damage, per Cash, but he’ll miss Opening Day and several weeks after being a Rays bullpen lock, landing on the 15-day IL. The 29-year-old’s sidelined. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should stash him, expecting his arm to bolster Tampa Bay’s relief corps by midseason 2025 if recovery progresses smoothly.
