Trammell (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday. According to Curtis Crabtree of FOX 13 Seattle, manager Scott Servais said Thursday that Trammell is 2-to-3 weeks away from starting a rehab assignment, putting the outfielder on track to return in late April. Trammell won't be guaranteed a spot on the MLB roster once healthy with the offseason additions of Teoscar Hernandez, AJ Pollock and Cooper Hummel providing plenty of depth in the outfield.

Pollock is out of the Mariners' starting lineup again Friday against the Guardians. Pollock did not appear in Thursday's season opener and is on the bench again Friday, with Jarred Kelenic, Julio Rodriguez and Teoscar Hernandez covering the outfield. Cooper Hummel is at DH and hitting eighth. Pollock still has fantasy-relevant skills at age 35, but he'll need to actually play to make them count.

Morant chipped in 10 points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 26 minutes during Friday's 108-94 win over the Clippers. The Grizzlies slipped behind 34-14 late in the first quarter, and the bench brought the energy that allowed Memphis to reclaim the lead and, eventually, the game. The result was limited action for Morant, who scored his second-fewest points of the season. Fantasy managers have no cause for future concern.

Schoop is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays. Schoop started against lefty Shane McClanahan on Opening Day, going 0-for-2 with a walk and two strikeouts. With righty Zach Eflin on the mound for the second game of the year, Zach McKinstry takes over at the keystone. It's possible that implies Schoop could be stuck on the short side of a platoon this season -- arguably a deserved outcome for a player who slashed .202/.239/.322 last year -- but it may simply be the case that the Tigers want to make sure everybody gets some at-bats in the first few games.

The Bengals signed Basham on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Basham is now set to join the Bengals in 2023 where he'll ultimately pursue his ninth year in the NFL. The 29-year-old linebacker made seven appearances this past season primarily as a rotational defensive piece for the Cowboys (two games) and Titans (five games), and he'll presumably compete for pass-rushing snaps with Cameron Sample, Jeff Gunter and Owen Carney.

Nootbaar will sit Saturday against the Blue Jays. Nootbaar received plenty of attention from fantasy drafters over the winter and followed that up by batting second and reaching base three times in the season opener. The Cardinals have a crowded outfield, however, and they'll give Alec Burleson the start in left field in the second game of the season. Exactly how often Nootbaar is in the lineup will go a long way toward determining his fantasy value this season, and it's not a good sign in that respect that he's on the bench already even with a righty (Kevin Gausman) on the mound for the opposition. It may take a week or two to get a clear sense of how often each Cardinal will find themselves in the lineup.
