Alan Roden Fantasy Stats

The Minnesota Twins announced that they have transferred outfielder Alan Roden (thumb) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL. With Roden having landed on the shelf with a sprained left thumb on Friday, the move to the 60-day IL brings his season to an end. Acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays at the July 31 trade deadline, Roden went 6-for-38 with one home run, one RBI, 13 strikeouts, and no walks in 10 games with the Twins before they put him on the IL. Between Toronto and Minnesota, the 25-year-old rookie slumped to a .191/.261/.294 line with two homers, nine RBI, and 17 runs scored over 153 plate appearances this season.

The Minnesota Twins announced that they have placed outfielder Alan Roden (thumb) on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left thumb and recalled fellow outfielder James Outman from Triple-A St. Paul. The Twins scratched Roden from their lineup on Friday, and now he'll miss at least a week and a half because of the injury. Roden joined the Twins in a July 31 trade deadline deal and has gone just 6-for-38 with one home run, one RBI, 13 strikeouts, and no walks since then. Between Minnesota and Toronto, the 25-year-old has hit an unsightly .191/.261/.294 with two homers, nine RBI, and 17 runs scored in 153 plate appearances.

Minnesota Twins outfielder Alan Roden (thumb), who was scratched from Friday's lineup, has been diagnosed with a sprained left thumb ligament. There is no official word yet on whether or not he'll need to go on the injured list, but if he does, Austin Martin could be the beneficiary of more playing time. Roden was traded to the Twins at the beginning of the month, but has slashed just .158/.200/.263 in 12 games for his new club. Martin was recalled from Triple-A at the beginning of the month as well, and has slashed .250/.302/.400 in 14 games and offers some pop and some speed, however, neither Roden nor Martin are an appealing fantasy option in most leagues.

The Minnesota Twins have acquired outfielder Alan Roden and left-hander Kendry Rojas from the Toronto Blue Jays for righty Louis Varland and first baseman Ty France. Now 25 years old, Roden entered the pro ranks as a second-round pick of the Blue Jays in 2022. He made his debut in the majors at the beginning of this season and yo-yoed between Toronto and Triple-A Buffalo before Thursday's trade. Roden hit a meek .202/.283/.306 with one home run in 113 plate appearances with the Blue Jays this year. He was far more successful in Buffalo, where he slashed an excellent .331/.423/.496 with three homers, 18 RBI, 25 runs scored, and four stolen bases in 142 trips to the plate. It's unclear if Roden will report to the majors with the Twins, but they may have room for another outfielder with Harrison Bader now a Philadelphia Phillie and Byron Buxton (rib) on the 10-day injured list.

The Toronto Blue Jays have recalled infielder Will Wagner from Triple-A Buffalo and optioned outfielder Alan Roden, the team announced. The 26-year-old Wagner is returning to the majors after spending two months in the minors. The Blue Jays demoted him April 29 after he batted a non-threatening .186/.284/.220 with no home runs in 68 plate appearances. Wagner hit a much better .271/.347/.447 with three homers in 95 Triple-A plate appearances to earn another chance in the bigs. He'll provide depth at third base behind Ernie Clement, who has put together a productive season. Roden, 25, is headed back to the minors after hitting just .206/.279/.309 with one HR in 111 trips to the plate with the Jays. He has raked in 83 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this year, having slashed .361/.446/.583 with three long balls.

Toronto Blue Jays outfield prospect Alan Roden (knee) remains out of the starting nine on Friday evening when they begin a series against the Chicago White Sox. Roden was held out of action on Thursday due to inflammation in his right knee. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he may miss additional time over the weekend. Instead, the Blue Jays will give Nathan Lukes the starting nod in left field, which opens center field for Jonatan Clase and right field for Addison Barger. Through his first 39 games in the major leagues, Roden has posted a .202/.282/.281 slash line with four doubles and one round-tripper. The Blue Jays are a viable target in DFS this evening, facing Chicago White Sox right-hander Grant Taylor, who holds a 4.50 ERA.

Toronto Blue Jays outfield prospect Alan Roden has been recalled from Triple-A prior to their contest on Friday against the Athletics. In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays placed outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list due to left-shoulder inflammation. Roden made his MLB debut earlier this season but posted a weak .178/.262/.260 line through 28 contests. During this stretch, Roden hit just one home run and added three doubles. Under the hood, Roden has generated a low .224 xwOBA, .161 xBA, and a .233 xSLG, all of which are well below the average marks. However, at Triple-A, Roden has found success, posting an impressive .361/.446/.583 slash line across 18 contests. Fantasy managers should expect Roden to serve as a depth outfielder, which will limit his fantasy upside.

The Toronto Blue Jays announced on Wednesday that they optioned outfield prospect Alan Roden and right-hander Dillon Tate to Triple-A Buffalo. The club also selected the contract of right-hander Braydon Fisher from the minors, recalled outfielder Jonatan Clase from Buffalo and designated outfielder Steward Berroa for assignment. Roden, who is considered Toronto's No. 5 prospect per MLB Pipeline, will head back to the farm for more development after he went 13-for-73 (.178) with one homer, five RBI and seven runs scored in his first 28 major-league games for the Blue Jays. It's gotten bad in his last 11 games, as he's gone hitless in 26 at-bats with 10 strikeouts. Clase, 22, is one to watch in AL-only leagues if he sees elevated playing time in Toronto's outfield. He is starting in left field and batting ninth on Wednesday versus Los Angeles Angels left-hander Yusei Kikuchi.

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Alejandro Kirk and outfielder Alan Roden will take a seat on Saturday when the Blue Jays continue a series against the Cleveland Guardians. Kirk has started in each of the previous four contests. The backstop has begun to heat up at the plate, posting a strong .353/.353/.529 slash line with six total hits. Roden has not tallied a hit in each of his previous eight contests. As a result, Tyler Heineman will get the nod behind the dish, and Nathan Lukes will get the nod in left field. Fantasy managers should expect both Kirk and Roden to rejoin the starting nine on Sunday. This afternoon, both Heineman and Lukes are not worth targeting in DFS facing Cleveland right-hander Gavin Williams.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Alan Roden went 2-for-3 with a double and a home run in Tuesday's 6-3 win against the Atlanta Braves. Roden struck out once while scoring twice and driving in two runs. The 25-year-old crushed his first big-league homer -- a two-run blast -- off of standout Braves pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach that exited the bat at 106.4 MPH. His double, which also came off Schwellenbach, was struck well, too (104.4 MPH). Toronto's No. 5 prospect is 13-for-47 (.277), with six runs scored, four RBI, and three doubles in his first taste of big-league action. Roden isn't walking much but has displayed solid plate discipline, holding a strong 15.1% strikeout rate in his first 17 games.
