MJ Melendez to primarily play outfield in 2024

MJ Melendez is expected to see most of his time in the outfield during 2024.

Fantasy Impact

After making 78 appearances behind the plate and only 38 in the outfield as a rookie in 2022, Melendez played the vast majority of his games (126) in the outfield last year. He did still make 10 appearances behind the plate in 2023, which could retain his eligibility at the much shallower position in many fantasy leagues. Melendez disappointed many fantasy managers in his second MLB campaign, hitting just .235 with a .713 OPS and 16 home runs across 602 plate appearances. He did finish the campaign with his best month, however, posting a .902 OPS with four homers, 12 RBI, and 11 runs over 22 games in September.
