AJ Pollock News
Chicago White Sox outfielder AJ Pollock has declined his $13 million option for the 2023 season and has become a free agent. Pollock will receive a $5 million buyout and will now be free to sign with any team this offseason. The 34-year-old will latch on with another organization, but he could struggle to make more than $13 million on a one-year deal elsewhere after hitting a very mediocre .245/.292/.389 with a .681 OPS, 14 home runs, 56 RBI, 61 runs scored and three stolen bases in 527 plate appearances and 138 games in his only season in Chicago. Pollock remains attractive mostly in a platoon outfield role, as he had a strong .935 OPS with 11 of his 14 long balls against left-handed pitching.
Chicago White Sox outfielder AJ Pollock led the way to a 5-3 win over the Detroit Tigers from the leadoff spot Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, and two runs scored. The long ball is his seventh of the season. Pollock has not had a banner campaign in 2022, slashing .243/.293/.377 in 344 plate appearances with 39 runs scored, 39 RBI, and one steal. He's been better of late, however, slashing .277/.364/.511 with two home runs in his last 15 games. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on if he can keep this up.
Chicago White Sox outfielder AJ Pollock (foot) had a large multi-colored bruise on his foot on Wednesday after fouling a pitch off his foot on Tuesday, and he remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday for the second straight game against the Kansas City Royals. Fantasy managers should consider the 34-year-old to be day-to-day for now. In his first year with the Pale Hose, he's slashing .235/.284/.348 with only five home runs, 36 RBI, 35 runs scored and one stolen base in 334 plate appearances over 91 games. Eloy Jimenez is starting in left field and hitting third on Thursday against Royals right-hander Zack Greinke. Jimenez is a must-start in single-year formats with his .292/.329/.454 slash line and six homers and 22 RBI in 130 at-bats this year.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder AJ Pollock has been a steady, well-rounded producer for fantasy managers over the past two years. There have only been two things that have held him back: injuries and playing time. The Dodgers have had a crowded outfield the past few years, but the addition of the designated hitter spot in the National League should help temper any playing time concerns. It should allow Pollock to be a mainstay in the lineup when healthy - which brings us to the more significant concern. Injuries will remain a key risk for the 34-year-old. He has only reached 120 games in a season once since 2013. Last year, Pollock slashed .297/.355/.536 with 21 home runs, nine stolen bases, 69 RBI and 53 runs over 117 games. His .286 xBA ranked in the top 10% of the league and his 47.4% hard-hit rate (82nd percentile) was a career-best clip. Pollock projects to be an everyday player this year for the Dodgers if he can stay healthy. He's a great target in drafts just outside the top-200 to round out your outfield.
