Availability
The Phillies reassigned OF Bryan De La Cruz to minor league camp.
Fantasy Impact
De La Cruz had been competing with Justin Crawford for one of the final spots in the outfield on the team's Opening Day roster. He will begin the season in Triple-A, but should get an opportunity in the majors at some point.
The Philadelphia Phillies signed outfielder Bryan De La Cruz to a minor-league contract on November 6. De La Cruz appeared in 16 games for Atlanta in 2025 but spent the majority of the season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the Yankees organization.
Fantasy Impact
De La Cruz, who turns 29 in December, will provide the Phillies with experienced outfield depth at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. In his 16 games with Atlanta last season, he posted a .453 OPS. For his career, he is a .251/.295/.402 hitter across parts of five big-league seasons.
Outfielder Bryan De La Cruz has been removed from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's lineup on Tuesday night.
Fantasy Impact
It's initially unclear as to why De La Cruz was a late scratch but fellow outfielder Everson Pereira was also removed from the lineup. De La Cruz is hitting .256 with nine homers and six steals across 47 games with the RailRiders this season.
Bryan De La Cruz has joined the New York Yankees in Toronto.
Fantasy Impact
With Trent Grisham (hamstring) likely headed to the injured list, De La Cruz has joined the team in Toronto for the series against the Blue Jays. If Grisham isn’t immediately placed on the IL, De La Cruz will remain on the taxi squad.
The New York Yankees claimed Bryan De La Cruz off waivers from the Atlanta Braves and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Fantasy Impact
De La Cruz struggled at the plate with Triple-A Gwinnett, slashing just .200/.256/.225, which led the Braves to place him on waivers. He’ll look to regain his form and reset with a new organization.
