Steven Duggar - Potential depth outfielderDuggar is making a case to begin the year with the Giants, Alex Simon of the Mercury News reports.
ImpactManager Gabe Kapler likes Duggar for his defense and his speed, per Simon. The 28-year-old outfielder hasn't done much on offense this spring -- he's 2-for-15 with a home run, two walks, two RBI and three runs scored in six games. With LaMonte Wade (knee) set to miss the start of the season, Duggar is increasingly likely to make the Opening Day roster as a depth outfielder capable of playing all three positions. He'll also be a candidate as a pinch runner, though it's unlikely he works into a starting role without doing more at the plate.

Anthony DeSclafani - Strong showing in winDeSclafani allowed one run on six hits and struck out two over 4.2 innings versus the Royals on Wednesday.
ImpactDeSclafani has already covered 7.2 innings across two Cactus League appearances. He's allowed one run, eight hits and one walk with three strikeouts. The 31-year-old right-hander was excellent with a 3.17 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 152:42 K:BB in 167.2 innings last season. He'll likely slot into the middle of the Giants' rotation, with Logan Webb and Carlos Rodon occupying the top spots. DeSclafani should be a solid late-round option in fantasy if he can come close to replicating his 2021 campaign.
