Daniel Robert and the Philadelphia Phillies have agreed on a minor league deal to bring the righthander back to the organization. He will presumably receive an invitation to spring training. (Source: Jon Heyman on X)
Fantasy Impact: Robert has pitched well in his 18.2 career major league innings, posting a 3.86 ERA with 21 strikeouts. The righthander also has intriguing numbers in the minors with a career 3.40 ERA in 214.1 innings across six seasons. He has allowed only 155 hits while striking out 279 batters in the minors. Last season, he pitched in Triple-A Round Rock (Texas) and Lehigh Valley (Philadelphia) and combined for a 2.67 ERA in 30.1 innings. Robert will likely begin the season with Lehigh Valley but could see himself in Philadelphia at some point in 2026.
Eduardo Salazar has agreed to a minor league deal with the Minnesota Twins. The righthander will presumably head to major league spring training as part of the agreement. (Source: Jon Heyman on X)
Fantasy Impact: Salazar struggled to an 8.38 ERA and a 2.17 WHIP in 29 innings with the Washington Nationals last season. However, in 2024, the righthander posted a combined 2.76 ERA in 29.1 innings with the Nationals and Dodgers. He has a 5.99 ERA in 70.2 big league innings and a 4.43 ERA across 553 career minor league frames. He'll have an opportunity to break camp with a wide-open Twins' bullpen if he has a good spring.
