Austin Meadows News
Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash continues to rave about outfielder Austin Meadows and how he looks really good after dropping weight in the offseason. Meadows played in only 36 games last year while dealing with COVID-19 and a Grade 2 oblique strain, but the 25-year-old broke out in his last full season in 2019 and could return to that level in 2021 if he returns to better health. His strikeout rate was really high at 32.9 percent and he hit just .205 (.143 against left-handers). Fantasy managers shouldn't automatically expect him to repeat his slash line of .291/.364/.558 with 33 home runs, 89 RBI and 12 steals in 2019, but Meadows is worth buying as a No. 3 fantasy outfield with bounce-back potential at his current 95 ADP.
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows (oblique) has been sidelined since Sept. 17 due to a strained left oblique, but as of Friday, he has been able to run the bases and increase his baseball activity. There remains hope that the Rays could include Meadows on their ALDS roster against the Yankees, with the series slated to start Monday. Meadows could take live batting practice Saturday in San Diego, so fantasy managers will want to check back for updates on his status. One of the premier bats in the Tampa Bay order, Meadows will want ample fantasy intrigue should he ultimately get the green light to return to the field.
Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Austin Meadows (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday afternoon. The 25-year-old left the first game of Thursday's doubleheader with oblique soreness. Meadows is likely done for the remainder of the regular season, but he should be available for the start of the playoffs. He is safe to drop in any redraft formats after slashing .205/.296/.371 across 132 at-bats in 2020.
