Joey Meneses

The Mets reassigned Joey Meneses to minor-league camp Monday, per team updates, after his power faded to a .274/.322/.408 slash with three homers in 2024 for the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact

Meneses, with a .274/.322/.408 line and 101 wRC+ over 1,210 MLB plate appearances, slumped to three homers in 313 chances in 2024, landing at Triple-A Syracuse post-Monday’s cut. His limited glove hurts his Mets bench odds. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues might stash him, eyeing a call-up if Pete Alonso’s injury opens a spot.

The Mets and Joey Meneses have agreed to a minor-league contract with an invite to spring training.

Fantasy Impact

Meneses struggled in 2024, posting a .231 average, with three home runs, and 42 RBI in 76 games with the Nationals. He will compete for a spot on the Mets' roster heading into the 2025 season.

The Nationals optioned Joey Meneses to Triple-A Rochester.

Fantasy Impact

Meneses has struggled this season, posting a .231 average with three home runs. The Nationals have not announced a corresponding move. Harold Ramirez and Jesse Winker would be the likely candidates to see playing time at first base.

Joey Meneses went 1-for-4 with an RBI on Sunday against the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

Meneses drove Lane Thomas home with a two out RBI single in the ninth inning to give the Nationals a 2-1 lead. He is now hitting .239 on the season with 37 RBI.

Joey Meneses went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in the Nationals' 4-0 win over the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact

His two-run shot contributed significantly to the team's victory, marking his third homer of the season. Despite a modest .244 batting average over 59 games, Meneses's ability to drive in runs (36 RBI) remains a key asset for fantasy managers. His power numbers are not eye-popping, but his knack for timely hitting can offer sporadic boosts in RBI-focused formats. However, his relatively high strikeout rate and low walk rate limit his upside in leagues that penalize for strikeouts or reward for on-base percentage.
