Rebounding from oblique injury
Zavala, who is on Triple-A Worcester's 7-day injured list due to a left oblique strain, began a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League on Monday and went 1-for-3 with a double and a walk in his first game.
ANALYSIS
After failing to win a backup catcher job with Boston after attending spring training as a non-roster invitee, Zavala reported to Triple-A Worcester and batted .129 over nine games before being shelved in mid-April. Just under a month later, Zavala looks to be nearing a return to action, but he'll likely stick around in Florida for a few more rehab games before linking back up with Worcester.

Todd Zola explains how projected playing time and a skills-based approach helps him identify upside plays late in a draft, as well as leading him to put Aaron Judge at the top of his personal rankings.
Jeff Stotts details this week's significant MLB injuries in this all Check Swings edition of the Injury Report, starting with Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams, who has missed three games with shoulder soreness.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Zavala lost his spot on the White Sox's Opening Day roster to begin 2022, but he rejoined the big club in June and appeared in a career-high 61 games. He had a .270/.347/.382 slash line with a 31.2 percent strikeout rate, and he saw some run as Chicago's primary backstop while Yasmani Grandal battled injuries. The strikeout rate has been an issue while Zavala came up through the minors, but it's his defensive ability that's his main draw. He should open 2023 in a backup role but shouldn't be expected to replicate his offensive numbers from last season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Discussing opt-out decision
Zavala will talk to his agent about potentially opting out of his minor-league contract with the Red Sox after being informed Friday that he didn't make the Opening Day roster, reports Christopher Smith of MassLive.com.
ANALYSIS
The 31-year-old had a .167/.250/.389 slash line in 10 spring games as Carlos Narvaez appears to have won the No. 2 catching job. Zavala appeared in just 18 games last season with the Mariners and isn't likely to immediately get an MLB opportunity elsewhere, so he'll weigh his options and decide whether it makes sense to stick with the Red Sox at Triple-A Worcester.
