Fantasy Impact
Butler underwent right patellar tendon surgery in October, but could be on a path to begin the season on time, if all goes well. The 25-year-old is coming off a down season in which he hit .234 with 21 homers, 22 stolen bases, and a .710 OPS in 152 games. His power/speed combination remains an attractive one for prospective fantasy managers this season.
