Dickerson got off to a slow start prior to hitting the IL due to the shoulder injury. Still, he should return to the middle of the Pirates' lineup, and assuming his struggles were injury related he could be someone to keep track of in leagues that roster five OFs.

Corey Dickerson injured his shoulder prior to Wednesday's game. All reports are showing that Dickerson will be placed on IL and miss significant time, though the Pirates have not made the move official.

The Pirates really have not provided much information as to the significance of Dickerson's shoulder injury. Beat reporter Alan Saunders feels the Pirates will look to Jung Ho Kang to man their injury-depleted outfield. Kang is currently hitting .231/.375/.583/.913 with one-double, one-home run, three walks and three RBI's in 2019.

He’s listed as day-to-day. J.B. Shuck is hitting seventh and playing left field versus the Cardinals.

Corey Dickerson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the Pirates' 5-3 loss to the Reds on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

Dickerson provided the sole extra-base hit for the Pirates in this one, and he did it off arguably their best pitcher Raisel Iglesias. Dickerson posted a career-low 13 home runs and a .175 ISO in 2018, so it'll be interesting to see whether his power rebounds this season.

Corey Dickerson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the Pirates' 8-1 spring win over the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact

Dickerson has been raking this spring, and he now has a .476 AVG and 1.452 OPS in 21 PA so far. Dickerson reinvented himself last season with Pittsburgh, eschewing power for contact. He finished last season with a .300 AVG, but also post a career low .175 ISO. He stands to be a good source of batting average once again, but his lack of power limits his upside and keeps him as an OF5 in mixed leagues.
