Akil Baddoo

Akil Baddoo went 2-for-4 with a run and two steals in a 4-3 win over Seattle on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Baddoo has come on strong of late, hitting .277 with five steals over his past 15 games. Overall, Baddoo has a .207 average, two homers, 29 runs, nine RBI, and nine steals across 188 at-bats in 2022. Baddoo's sprint speed ranks in the 90th percentile, so he could be an elite base-stealer in fantasy if given the playing time.

Akil Baddoo is set to be recalled from Triple-A prior to the Tigers’ game against the Royals Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Baddoo has played in 17 games with the Tigers this season, hitting .150 with one home run and two RBIs. He has put together solid numbers in Triple-A, slashing .300/.405/.500 with three home runs, and 15 RBIs. Baddoo definitely factors into Detriot’s rebuilding plans and should be held in dynasty formats.

The Detroit Tigers announce they have optioned OF Akil Baddoo to the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens.

Fantasy Impact

Akil Baddoo was optioned on Monday and RHP Rony Garcia was called up in a corresponding move. Baddoo is hitting just .140 this season with a single home run and two RBI in 50 at-bats. The speedy Baddoo has only stolen one base so far in 2022. The time in Triple-A could be what Baddoo needs to find his confidence and swing again.

Fantasy Impact

Baddoo picked up his first steal of the season after swiping 18 bags last year. Overall, he's hitting .146 with one homer, five runs, and two RBI across 41 at-bats. Baddoo has been relegated to a part-time role after playing pretty regularly in 2021, which has nullified his fantasy value.
