Charles Leblanc

Atlanta has reassigned Charles Leblanc to minor-league camp as part of its latest round of roster cuts.

Leblanc put together a solid showing in Grapefruit League action, going 5-for-16 with a home run and a steal, but he ultimately fell short of securing a spot on the Opening Day roster. The 28-year-old was always a long shot to break camp with the big club and will now begin the 2025 season at Triple-A Gwinnett. After spending most of last season at Triple-A Salt Lake in the Angels organization, Leblanc will look to work his way up Atlanta’s depth chart.

The Angels optioned Charles Leblanc to Triple-A Salt Lake.

Leblanc will head to the bench for the series finale with the White Sox. Michael Stefanic will start at second base and bat eighth.

Charles Leblanc went 1-for-3 with a home run, an RBI, and two runs scored in the Angels' 8-4 defeat to the White Sox.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's loss, Leblanc managed to contribute by launching his second homer of the season. His overall performance this season has been underwhelming with a .200 batting average and a high strikeout rate of 37.5% in nine games. However, his ability to draw walks and hit for power, as indicated by his .357 wOBA, suggests potential value in deeper fantasy leagues. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his playing time and performance trends, especially in formats that reward power and on-base percentage.

Charles Leblanc is out of the starting lineup for the Angels Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Leblanc will head back to the bench after driving in three runs Sunday. Nolan Schanuel will start at first base and bat third Monday.
