Fantasy Impact

The Guardians selected the contract of 1B Rhys Hoskins from Triple-A Columbus.
Fantasy Impact
Hoskins officially makes the Opening Day roster for Cleveland. He figures to hold a platoon role at first base and DH.
Rhys Hoskins has made the Guardians' Opening Day roster. He signed a minor league deal with Cleveland in February and was a non-roster invite to spring training.
Fantasy Impact
Hoskins went just 7-for-33 (.212) during the spring, but belted three home runs and drove in eight runs. The veteran slugger spent his first six seasons with the Phillies before missing all of 2023 with an injury. He ended up in Milwaukee in 2024 and 2025 and struggled in his two seasons there, combining for a .223 average with 38 home runs in 221 games. All told, he is a .238 hitter with 186 home runs and an .820 OPS in 888 career games. Hoskins will likely be Cleveland's everyday designated hitter and should hit towards the middle of the lineup. While he won't hit for a high average, he's certainly capable of 25-30 home runs and 80-plus RBI if he stays healthy.
Rhys Hoskins has signed a minor league contract with the Cleveland Guardians according to Zack Meisel.
Fantasy Impact
Hoskins’ deal is worth $1.5 million if the veteran makes the major league roster according to Meisel, after the first baseman hit .237 with 12 home runs and 43 RBI in 90 games for the Brewers last season.
