Jared Walsh - Nearing full recovery Walsh (shoulder) told MLB Network Radio on SiriusXM on Wednesday that he's nearing a full recovery from surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome.

Impact Walsh went under the knife last September, soon after the TOS diagnosis officially put an end to his disappointing 2022 campaign. He could certainly be a bounce-back candidate if his health cooperates in 2023. "I feel great, but hopefully I can get even a little bit better," said the 29-year-old first baseman and corner outfielder.

Anthony Rendon - Feeling healthy coming into spring Rendon (wrist) is feeling "fantastic" physically, Jon Heyman of The New York Post reports.

Impact The Angels are hoping to get a little more out of their $245 million investment in Rendon next season following back-to-back injury-plagued years. It was wrist surgery that limited him to just 47 games in 2022, although he did make it back for a couple games in October. He'll turn 33 in June and hasn't had a full, healthy season since 2019 (not counting the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign). Fantasy managers in early drafts have been taking an understandably cautious approach, as Rendon has been going outside the top-200 picks.
