Adalberto Mondesi News
Boston Red Sox shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (knee) will visit with a doctor in Boston to determine the next step in his rehab from a torn ACL. For weeks now, Mondesi has been doing hitting and fielding drills, but he has yet to play in games or begin a minor-league rehab assignment. If doctors like what they see with the 27-year-old speedster, he could be on the verge of starting a rehab assignment in the minors. The switch-hitting middle infielder has yet to play in 2023 and has played in a total of 109 games the last three seasons with the Kansas City Royals due to injuries. Once considered an elite stolen base target in fantasy, Mondesi needs to prove he can stay on the field before fantasy managers will want him on their rosters again. The good news is he should see plenty of playing time at the 6 in Boston once he's ready to make his season debut.
The Boston Red Sox placed shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (knee) on the 60-day injured list on Thursday. Mondesi is still recovering from a torn left ACL suffered last year, and now he won't be able to make his 2023 debut with Boston until at least May. The 27-year-old hasn't been able to stay healthy in his career, but he's worth stashing in deeper mixed leagues for his speed. He should see plenty of playing time at shortstop in his first year in Boston when he's healthy enough to return. Until then, Enrique Hernandez should see most of the playing time at the 6, with Christian Arroyo serving as Boston's primary second baseman.
Boston Red Sox shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (knee) had a good day at spring training on Wednesday while hitting and taking ground balls. Mondesi is expected to increase his workload in the coming days in camp, but he's still not expected to be ready for Opening Day at the end of March. The 27-year-old could bump Enrique Hernandez back to the outfield when he's fully healthy. Mondesi entered the league with plenty of potential from a speed perspective, but injuries have hurt him recently. He suffered a torn ACL in 2022 and played in only 15 games for the Kansas City Royals. It's also possible that he could form a platoon with Hernandez at short when he's ready, which would limit his fantasy appeal in deeper leagues.

After appearing in just 15 games and hitting .140 with the Royals in 2022, Adalberto Mondesi (knee) suffered another long-term injury, tearing his ACL and missing the remainder of the season. Not only did he miss a considerable chunk of last season, but he's also going to miss most of, if not all, of the 2023 preseason after appearing in just 109 games over the last three campaigns. While he played 59 of the 60 games in the shortened 2020 season, that's not much baseball over the previous three years as he moves to the Boston Red Sox for the 2023 season. The 27-year-old could be ready for Opening Day, but Mondesi struggled at the plate in each of the last four seasons, hitting .248 with 21 home runs, a slight 4.6% BB%, and an elevated 30.6% K% rate in that time. Of course, he ranks fifth in all baseball with 87 stolen bases in that 211-game stretch. However, his lack of on-base skills and lengthy injury history is also capping that part of his game. Add it up, Mondesi is our 26th-ranked shortstop with an ADP in the 250 range. With Steamer projecting Mondesi for just 12 home runs and 23 steals, Mondesi can certainly be left alone before that ADP threshold. Given the power/speed potential when healthy, keeping an eye on his playing time with Trevor Story out for most, if not all, of the 2023 season is prudent.
