Brian O'Grady News
The San Diego Padres optioned outfielder Brian O'Grady to Triple-A Tuesday. The move makes way for incoming second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier, who was acquired via trade from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. Shuttling between the minors and majors, O'Grady has managed just 54 plate appearances with the Padres, smacking two homers while slashing .182/.302/.386. He'll return to El Paso where he's enjoyed some success with a 1.033 OPS, eight homers and three steals. A 29-year-old without a clear path to consistent big league opportunities, O'Grady can be omitted as a fantasy candidate.
San Diego Padres utility man Brian O'Grady came off the bench to smack a pinch-hit home run Sunday. It was his second of the season, and came off Miami Marlins relief pitcher David Hess in a 9-3 loss. O'Grady has only managed 44 at-bats this season, and with Adam Frazier (potentially among other) joining the team, opportunity may be even more difficult to come by going forward. He should be left on the waiver wire in all formats.
San Diego Padres outfielder Brian O'Grady went 2-for-4 with a homer, double and three RBI Monday against the Chicago Cubs. Called up from Triple-A prior to gametime, O'Grady started over a struggling Wil Myers in right field and provided an early spark, roping an offering from Cubs starter Adbert Alzolay over the wall for his first long ball of 2021. The 29-year-old journeyman has played sparingly shuttling between the Friars and El Paso and holds a modest .664 OPS over 38 plate appearances. If he earns more starts with this solid performance, he could emerge as a DFS punt for fantasy purposes.
