Nick Fortes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-2 loss against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Fantasy Impact
Fortes has started in three of Tampa Bay Rays’ first five games this season and has been hot early, posting a .375 AVG and 1.037 OPS in 16 at-bats. However, his career .226/.282/.349 slash line across 406 MLB games suggests a regression is likely. He isn’t worth a fantasy pickup at the moment until a larger sample size confirms his early success.
The Rays signed C Nick Fortes to a one-year, $2.535 million contract to avoid arbitration.
Fantasy Impact
Fortes landed with Tampa Bay at the trade deadline last year. He is in line to enter next season as the Rays starting catcher.
