Availability
The Rays have reassigned first baseman Xavier Isaac to minor league camp.
Fantasy Impact
Isaac, who underwent brain surgery last July, went 6-for-15 (.400) with three walks across 18 spring plate appearances prior to Sunday's move. The 22-year-old has been a force in the minors, most recently hitting .201 with nine homers and an .812 OPS across 41 games at Double-A in 2025 before July's procedure.
Rays 1B prospect Xavier Isaac underwent brain surgery in July.
Fantasy Impact
Isaac announced that it was life-saving surgery that he underwent after a scan revealed it was necessary. He could make his debut next season.
First baseman Xavier Isaac (elbow) begins the season on the 7-day injured list at Double-A Montgomery as he builds up his throwing following an aggravation of an elbow issue, reports Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline. Isaac briefly appeared in spring games before the setback and could potentially be activated in late April.
Fantasy Impact
Isaac (elbow) opens the year on the IL at Double-A, aiming for a late April activation. His massive power potential comes with significant strikeout risk (40.6% K% at AA in '24), making him a high-upside, high-risk dynasty hold.
Xavier Isaac won’t play in Thursday’s Spring Breakout game against Red Sox prospects due to a sore left wrist/elbow, per team reports.
Fantasy Impact
Isaac, reassigned to minors Sunday with Matthew Etzel stepping in, hit a wall with left arm soreness in late February—limited to DH in his last four Grapefruit League games, he was slated for corner OF and 1B but aims for a late March minors start, 1B status pending. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues can keep tabs; his bat’s promising, but the arm’s a question mark.
The Rays have reassigned Xavier Isaac to minor-league camp.
Fantasy Impact
Isaac went hitless in nine spring at-bats and will head back to the minors to open the 2025 season. He posted a .264/.370/.480 slash line, with 18 home runs, and 78 RBI in 102 games in the minors last season.
