Fantasy Impact: Kent, who was acquired off of waivers from Cleveland last month, turns 28 next month. The right-hander saw his first taste of big league action with the Guardians last season and went 1-0 with a 4.58 ERA in 12 games. Kent, who was drafted in the ninth round by Texas in 2019, has pitched in 117 career games in the minors and has a 4.13 ERA with 369 strikeouts in 322.1 innings.

Cardinals president Chaim Bloom said earlier this week that Alec Burleson is expected to move to first base next season. (Source: John Denton on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Burleson will take the spot of Willson Contreras who was recently traded to the Red Sox. He should be a first baseman worth targeting if you wait on the position as a high upside power and average hitter.
