Andrés Giménez News
Cleveland Guardians second baseman Andres Gimenez will return to the starting lineup Wednesday afternoon versus the San Francisco Giants and left-hander Kyle Harrison. Gimenez didn't start Cleveland's 3-1 win on Tuesday night but he did strike out in a pinch-hitting appearance in the ninth inning. The 25-year-old has taken a step back at the plate this season, hitting .242 with 12 home runs, 27 stolen base, and a .691 OPS across 139 games after hitting a hefty .297 with 17 HR, 20 SB, and an .837 OPS across 146 contests a season ago. He continues to get nearly everyday reps at the keystone given his highly-regarded glove work while his power/speed combination is respectable at the second-base position.
Cleveland Guardians second baseman Andres Gimenez lit up the box score on Sunday in the win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Gimenez hit a home run, stole a base, collected three singles, and scored twice. Gimenez hasn't been much of a fantasy force for most of the year, but he's hitting .278/.361/.481 over his last 15 games.
Cleveland Guardians second baseman Andres Gimenez went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, two doubles, and an additional run scored in Friday's 4-2 win over the Chicago White Sox. The 24-year-old's first-inning double allowed him to come around and score courtesy of a Jose Ramirez single. Gimenez then belted a two-run dinger during the fifth frame after attempting to bunt Steven Kwan over to second base earlier in the at-bat. Gimenez then laced another double down the right-field line in the seventh to cap off a much-needed big night at the dish for the struggling infielder. After heating up a bit in early July, Gimenez recently got mired in an 0-for-17 skid from July 28 to Aug. 1. Fantasy managers hope the 2022 All-Star gets back on track soon, as he's still slashing a weak .239/.309/.696 with 10 big flies, 42 RBI, and 17 stolen bases through 277 at-bats on the campaign.

Gimenez took a step forward in 2022, slashing .295/.369/.464 with 17 homers and 21 steals. That was a quite useful fantasy season from the young guy, who at the age of just 24 has a lot of years ahead of him. Gimenez significantly increased his barrel rate (3.6% to 6.2%), contact rate (70.6% to 73.6%), and xwOBA (.243 to .302) while cutting five points off of his strikeout rate (25.7% to 20.3%). None of that is easy to do in one year and is assuredly a sign of a talented young player coming into form. As for 2023, the power upside is probably limited here. A 20-homer projection seems about right unless he pushes his barrel rate up even further, but the guy can definitely post a great batting average and contribute a good amount of steals. He is more than useful for what he is as a middle infielder, and there is still untapped upside here given the age and the improvements we've already seen. We could be looking at a top-30 player next year if he takes another step forward, so I see no problem buying him at his current ADP around pick 85. The floor is great, and the ceiling may be higher than we think!
