Wiemer went 1-for-1 in a loss to Atlanta with a solo home run, a walk, one run scored, one RBI and one stolen base.
Fantasy Impact
After Wednesday's loss, Wiemer is batting .356 with three home runs, six RBI, 11 runs scored and one stolen base across 18 games. The 27-year-old has performed when called upon, but he is not seeing enough playing time currently to be fantasy viable.
Joey Wiemer went 3-for-3 with a triple, home run, one walk, and three RBIs in the Nationals 6-3 win over the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact
Wiemer got the party started in the first inning with a three-run blast to give the Nats an early lead. The 27-year-old is off to a scorching start, recording a hit in each of his first six at-bats, two home runs, and four RBI this season. If Wiemer can continue to hit well, he should see plenty of playing time on a rebuilding Nationals’ team.
Joey Wiemer went 3-for-3 in Thursday's 10-4 win over the Cubs with a home run, two runs scored, one RBI and a walk.
Fantasy Impact
Wiemer was on the roster bubble to close out Spring Training but showed out in his Nationals’ debut. Fantasy managers will want to temper expectations, as the 27-year-old is expected to operate in a platoon and will see the bulk of his playing time against left-handed starters.
Joey Wiemer has been claimed off waivers by the Washington Nationals. Wiemer was designated for assignment last month by the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
Wiemer, a fourth-round draft pick by the Brewers in the 2020 MLB Draft, has slashed .205/.279/.359 over 499 plate appearances while playing for the Brewers, Reds, and Marlins. As a rookie in 2023, he batted just .203 with Milwaukee but did hit 13 home runs and swipe 11 bases. While his batting average has never been great, he does have a decent combination of speed and power as evidenced by his 63 home runs and 84 steals over five seasons in the minors. He also has a solid glove and can play all three outfield positions. Since Wiemer is out of options, he could find himself on the Nationals' opening day roster as a possible bench option.
The Giants have designated outfielder Joey Wiemer for assignment.
Fantasy Impact
The Giants designated Wiemer on Wednesday once the free-agent signing of right-hander Jason Foley became official. The 26-year-old has struggled in limited big-league action, hitting just .205 with 16 homers and 12 steals across 180 big-league contests between the Brewers, Reds and, Marlins.
