| News | ||
| Jake McCarthy (illness) is expected to return to the lineup Friday. Vince DiSilvio Fri, Mar 24th | Colorado Rockies third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant was a late scratch from Monday's lineup. Brenton Kemp Mon, Mar 13th | |
| Notes | ||
| Jake McCarthy is a vessel for stolen bases in the later rounds of drafts. He is exactly the type of guy you wait for once you've built up your other categories. He could pop double-digit homers, but all fantasy managers need to care about is that he keeps running well (23-for-26 SB in 2022) and with impunity. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | Kris Bryant in Coors Field was supposed to be a party and instead, the guest of honor got plantar fasciitis and played in only 42 games for the entire year. The Coors effect isn't going to bring the 31-year-old back near his prime, but he should put up better numbers in 2023 and recently stated he would be ready to go for Spring Training. He might be an empty batting average/OBP player, though, so don't expect much more than 15 HR if you pick him. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | |
