Carter Kieboom News
Washington Nationals third baseman Carter Kieboom will not be on the Opening Day roster as he was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Saturday. Kieboom only hit .150/.227/.250 in 44 plate appearances this spring on the heels of a .181/.309/.232 line in 165 regular season PA to date. Kieboom was teetering on the ledge all spring and now all his fantasy value in 2021 is gone for now. He should still be on someone's roster in dynasty formats, but nowhere else. The Nationals are likely going with Starlin Castro at third base and Josh Harrison or Luis Garcia at second.
Washington Nationals infielder Starlin Castro shifted over to the hot corner for the first time during Grapefruit League play Tuesday in an attempt to get the veteran reps at the position prior to Opening Day. The move comes as a means of helping Castro develop additional positional flexibility in the case that manager Dave Martinez decides to look elsewhere with presumptive starting third baseman Carter Kieboom (.171/.216/.286) continuing to struggle at the dish during camp. Martinez has gone as far as saying that he wants Kieboom to be the club's starting 3B, but the 23-year-old delivered just a .556 OPS in 33 big league games last season. While Kieboom possesses top prospect pedigree, he's a true late-round roll-of-the-dice selection in season-long drafts at this stage.
Washington Nationals third baseman Carter Kieboom has not locked up the team's third base job this season as infielder Starlin Castro has started to take spring training reps at the position. Kieboom's struggles in his MLB career to date--a .267 wOBA and .284 xwOBA, for example--have made him a fringe player for fantasy purposes, and this news does not help. He's still going to be on rosters in dynasty leagues and maybe some quite deep keepers, but even a non-keeper format as deep as NL-only, he's not an absolute must-have at this exact moment. Even if he does get the Nats 3B job, he will be on very shaky ground.
