Fantasy Impact: Olson started a throwing program in December after receiving a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection in August that caused him to miss the last couple months of the 2025 season. According to reports, he is progressing, but may not be ready for opening day. Primarily due to injuries, the 26-year-old righty has not pitched more than 112.1 innings in a season at the big league level. When on the mound, Olson has pitched to a 3.60 ERA in 284.2 innings across three seasons with the Tigers. Fortunately for Detroit, the Tigers have a deep rotation and they have a number of options (Keider Montero, Troy Melton, Sawyer Gipson-Long) who can fill in until Olson is ready.

Fantasy Impact: Baez and Major League Baseball, who allows for marijuana use, attempted to allow Baez to participate for Puerto Rico in the upcoming WBC, but were unsuccessful. The veteran earned an All-Star appearance in 2025 after a bounce-back first half, but struggled mightily down the stretch and ended up with an 86 wRC+ across 126 games.
