We have a bunch of news from the first weekend of spring training up next on Fantasy

Baseball Today Express.

Welcome into FBT Express on Monday, February 23rd.

I am Frank Stample joined by Scott White, and let's take a look at the latest news and

notes.

We did learn that Pablo Lopez will officially undergo Tommy John surgery and will miss all

of 2026.

It looks like as of now, Zebby Matthews will likely take his spot in the rotation, Scott.

And we just wrapped up our SP preview part three.

And it sounds like you have at least a little bit of interest in Zebby Matthews.

I do have interest in Zebby Matthews.

Yeah, there's a bit of a competition there, I would say,

because they also have David Festa, for instance, McAble.

But I think Zebby Matthews is the most interesting

because he gets a lot of whiffs. That is one thing he showed, even though the results

were not the greatest. He had a near 13% swingy strike rate nearly 10K per 9. And if you look at the

ERA estimators, you know, particularly FIPP, it comes out a lot better than a ZRA.

It comes out about 380s.

So I get seen Zebby Matthews taking a step forward here this year.

And if he's there from the start, yeah, I think he's going to be worth targeting late in some leagues.

Jordan Westberg is dealing with a partially torn UCL in his right elbow.

He will not undergo Tommy John surgery, opting for PRP injections instead.
