| 0:00.0 | What's up fantasy managers? |
| 0:02.3 | Welcome back to another episode of the first pitch podcast brought to you by pitcherlist.com. |
| 0:06.9 | My name is Jake Crumpler, and I'll be your host for this edition of the pod. |
| 0:10.2 | You can follow me on socials at Jake Crumpler and can find all of my work at Crumplerbaseball.com. |
| 0:16.1 | As you can likely hear, I am still under the weather, but am recovering. |
| 0:20.1 | So hopefully I'll sound normal by |
| 0:22.2 | my next recording on Sunday night into Monday morning. But let's dive into everything baseball related |
| 0:28.8 | from Wednesday, April 8th. We'll start it off as always with the transactions, |
| 0:32.9 | injuries, news and notes from around the league, kicking things off with the bad news as outfielder, |

| 1:28.0 | to make room on the 40 man roster for Higgins. |
| 1:31.3 | Surprisingly, first baseman Christian Encarnacio and Strand was designated for assignment. |
