Fantasy Impact: Wisely, who was designated for assignment by the Braves last week, hit .185 in 63 plate appearances between the Giants and Braves last season and is a career .214 hitter in 168 career games. He has defensive versatility and has experience at nearly every position during his professional career. He'll have a chance to make the Opening Day roster on a super-utility role for the Rays with a good spring.

Fantasy Impact: Waldichuk pitched in 42 games (29 starts) with the Athletics in 2022 and 2023 and pitched to a 5.28 ERA in 175.2 innings. He underwent Tommy John surgery and missed all of 2024 and then struggled to an 8.65 ERA in Triple-A Las Vegas over 51 innings last season. Waldichuk will likely open the year in Triple-A Durham.
