The Chicago White Sox have signed free-agent outfielder Alex Presley to a minor league contract. Presley recently opted out of a minor league deal with the Baltimore Orioles. The White Sox have had their fair share of injuries in the outfield, and Presley should have a fair chance to get promoted. Presley holds no fantasy value and can remain on the waiver wire.
The Baltimore Orioles signed free-agent outfielder Alex Presley to a major league deal Monday, which will include an invite to major league spring training. Presley saw a lot of action (71 games) with the Tigers in 2017 and performed admirably, hitting .314 with three home runs, 20 RBI and five steals. However, his chances of seeing that much playing time again in 2018 with Baltimore aren't good, and he'll likely serve as a bench bat if he makes the team out of camp. There isn't any fantasy value here unless he comes into everyday playing time due to an injury.
The Detroit Tigers activated center fielder Alex Presley from the disabled list, where he's been for just under two weeks with concussion symptoms since colliding with the outfield wall in Seattle. In a subsequent move, the club also optioned outfielder Jim Adduci to Triple-A Toledo. Adduci had also been on the DL, but for a much longer period of time, and manager Brad Ausmus feels that Adduci needs more at-bats before he can rejoin the club. Presley is not much of a fantasy asset, batting just .245 with one homer in 49 AB this season. Even if Aducci does rejoin the club eventually, he doesn't figure to be a fantasy contributor unless injuries hit the Tiger outfield in a big way.
