Pedro Ciriaco

Ciriaco pinch hit for Shelby Miller in the seventh inning and collected a RBI single in the Braves 8-3 loss to the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Ciriaco has a utility role carved out in the Braves lineup with eligibility at 2B/SS/3B. He is hitting .258 on the season with 11 RBIs but should not be used in any fantasy format.

Ciriaco had a poor slash line in Triple-A, going .234/.253/.286 with a homer, seven RBI, and a 15/1 K/BB ration in 77 at-bats. In a corresponding move, the team moved Mike Minor to the 60-day DL.

Fantasy Impact

He is just depth while Chris Johnson is on the DL.

Non-roster invitee Pedro Ciriaco has opened some eyes this spring. Ciriaco, who has played with four teams in the past five seasons, went 2-for-2 against the Phillies on Tuesday. He is hitting .366 in Grapefruit League play with 9 RBI and 6 runs scored.

Fantasy Impact

Ciriaco, a career .270 hitter in 188 Major League games, has never played in more than 76 games in an season. Should Ciriaco make the Opening Day roster, he's likely to remain a backup and have little or no fantasy impact.
