Brayan Rocchio News
Cleveland Guardians shortstop Brayan Rocchio is taking the day off on Tuesday against the visiting Chicago White Sox. The rookie is the club's primary shortstop and has started off the 2024 season in good shape offensively, going 9-for-33 (.273) with a league-leading five doubles, two RBI and four runs scored in his first nine games. Rocchio should be back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's series finale against Chicago on Wednesday. With the 23-year-old starting on the bench, Gabriel Arias is starting at shortstop and batting ninth against White Sox right-hander Michael Soroka. Arias makes for a poor DFS play in the nine-hole and has two hits in his first 13 at-bats this year. He's never faced Soroka in his career.
Cleveland Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said that infielder Brayan Rocchio will handle the "bulk" of the playing time at shortstop this year. Rocchio is the club's No. 3 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and has won the starting shortstop job after going 20-for-81 (.247) with no home runs and eight RBI in his first 23 major-league games in 2023. The 23-year-old won the job by hitting .270/.308/.459 in 13 Cactus League games this spring. Power isn't really his thing, as he hit only seven home runs in 116 contests with Triple-A Columbus in 2023 before getting called up to Cleveland, but he steal 25 bases. The switch-hitting shortstop doesn't have a ton of fantasy upside at the 6 because of his lack of over-the-fence pop, but winning the starting shortstop gig will at least make him an AL-only asset because of his speed.
Cleveland Guardians infielder Brayan Rocchio went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI, and a run scored in a 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Thursday. Hitting leadoff, Rocchio smacked a pair of doubles, giving him four in just 40 at-bats this season. The Guardians recalled Rocchio, one of the top prospects, from Triple-A Columbus last week as they look to find out what they have in some of their younger players. Rocchio is taking advantage of the opportunity, as he has a .308 batting average in 26 at-bats since the promotion. He is worth monitoring in deeper fantasy leagues in case he stays hot at the plate.
