Brett Wisely Fantasy Stats

The Tampa Bay Rays acquired infielder Brett Wisely and left-hander Ken Waldichuk from the Atlanta Braves on Monday in exchange for a player to be named later or cash, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. Wisely has played parts of three seasons in the big leagues with the San Francisco Giants and Braves, posting a .214 batting average and .584 OPS in 168 games. He'll serve as a utility infielder for the Rays in 2026, with the ability to play second base, shortstop, third base, and center field. Waldichuk, 28, pitched in 42 games over 2022-23 with the Athletics before missing 2024 and some of 2025 after having Tommy John surgery. He has mostly been a starter in his career, going 6-11 with a 5.28 ERA in 42 major-league games. Wisely is out of minor-league options, which should help his chances of winning an Opening Day roster spot as a bench player.

The Atlanta Braves have designated infielder Brett Wisely for assignment. This transaction opened a spot on the roster for relief pitcher Greg Soriano, whom the team claimed off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. Wisely spent the 2025 campaign with the Giants and Braves. Through 26 games in the majors last summer, Wisely posted a .185/.279/.315 slash line with four doubles and one home run. In 2024, Wisely logged a career-high 91 games in the majors (with the Giants) and held a .238/.278/.345 line with a low .623 OPS. Across 195 games at the Triple-A level, the former 15th round selection carries a .275/.372/.433 line. Managers should expect Wisely to draw some interest on waivers, given his defensive versatility and previous big league experience. If he goes unclaimed, he will begin the campaign with Triple-A Gwinnett.

The San Francisco Giants optioned second baseman Brett Wisely and outfielder Grant McCray to Triple-A Sacramento. Wisely, 25, was unable to win a utility role on the Opening Day roster despite hitting .295 (13-for-44) with four doubles, a homer, six RBI, two steals and four runs scored in 23 Cactus League games this spring. He has displayed solid plate discipline and nice speed in the minors, and Wisely should be back up in the big leagues at some point in 2025 after hitting .238 with four homers and 31 steals in 91 games for the Gigantes in 2024. McCray, 24, will open the year in the minors with Jung Hoo Lee overcoming a back injury that slowed him down in camp. The left-handed hitter will be in a platoon situation, at best, if he's back in the big leagues this year. The former third-rounder in 2019 will need to lower his high strikeout rates to find any kind of sustained success in the majors.

San Francisco Giants infielder Brett Wisely could have the inside track on a bench job in spring training due to the fact that the team already has a plethora of right-handed infield bats, MLB.com's Maria Guardado writes. Wisely has that going for him, but Casey Schmitt and Osleivis Basabe both offer just as much defensive versatility and could force their way onto the Opening Day roster if they impress during spring training. The 25-year-old Wisely has showed very little offensively in the Bay Area in his first two big-league seasons, slashing .218/.263/.320 with a weak .582 OPS, six home runs, 39 RBI, four stolen bases and 35 runs scored in 403 plate appearances over 142 games played. At best, Wisely should be considered a decent middle-infield glove option for the Giants off the bench, and he can also fill in at center field in a pinch.

San Francisco Giants first baseman LaMonte Wade Jr. and infielder Brett Wisely are both sitting on Monday against the hosting Washington Nationals with left-hander Patrick Corbin on the mound. Mark Canha will play first base and hit second, while Casey Schmitt will start at the keystone and bat in the five-hole against Corbin. Wade is actually hitting .450 against lefties this year, but he's only had 27 plate appearances against them. The 30-year-old lefty has hit a strong .294 (60-for-204) but with limited counting stats (four homers, 20 RBI) for fantasy managers. Out of the two-hole, Canha makes for an intriguing DFS sleeper on Monday against Corbin, who he is hitting .462 against with a 1.115 OPS, a homer and two RBI against in 26 career at-bats. Schmitt has faced Corbin three times and has a solo home run.

San Francisco Giants shortstop Brett Wisely had a productive evening in his team's 7-1 win over the Minnesota Twins on Friday. Wisely went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run, and two RBI to help propel his team to victory. The 25-year-old is putting together a solid season for the Giants, hitting .286 with 10 doubles, three homers, 16 runs, 18 RBI, and a stolen base over 140 at-bats. While he isn't offering much outside of batting average for fantasy, he is at least showing potential moving forward.

The Giants optioned outfielder Brett Wisely to Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday. The 23-year-old made his MLB debut on Thursday versus the New York Yankees. However, he'll now take a trip to the minors, with outfielder Bryce Johnson moving to the active roster. Johnson appeared in 11 games last season, accumulating two hits and seven strikeouts in 18 at-bats, so his fantasy value can't get any lower.
