Chase DeLauter Fantasy Stats

Cleveland Guardians rookie outfielder Chase DeLauter (hamstring) will sit out again on Wednesday against the visiting San Francisco Giants at Progressive Field, according to MLB.com. With Jo Adell (knee) also out, Angel Martinez will start in right field and bat cleanup for the Guards against Giants rookie left-hander Matt Wilkinson, who is making his major-league debut. DeLauter has not played since leaving Sunday's series finale against the San Diego Padres with tightness in his left hamstring. The good news is that an MRI exam came back negative, so DeLauter could be back as early as Thursday's series finale against San Francisco. The 24-year-old first-rounder from James Madison University deserves to be rostered in most fantasy leagues during his strong rookie campaign. DeLauter enters play on Wednesday hitting .285/.358/.442 with a .799 OPS, 13 home runs, 57 RBI, 49 runs scored, and nine stolen bases in his 403 at-bats. He's been strong in 14 games in August, too, going 19-for-56 (.339) with two homers, two doubles, six RBI, three steals, and 11 runs scored.

Cleveland Guardians rookie outfielder Chase DeLauter (hamstring) is sitting out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the San Francisco Giants, per MLB.com. Jo Adell will make the start in right field for the Guards and will hit third in the batting order against Giants left-hander Carson Whisenhunt. DeLauter will miss at least one game after he was pulled from Sunday's series finale against the San Diego Padres with tightness in his left hamstring, and he is not feeling good enough to go following a scheduled day off on Monday. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day and check back on Wednesday to see if he is ready to return. The 24-year-old former first-rounder in 2022 from James Madison University is having a strong first year in the majors, slashing .285/.358/.442 with a .799 OPS, 13 home runs, 57 RBI, 49 runs scored, and nine stolen bases across his 403 at-bats. DeLauter is even hitting .346 (45-for-130) with two homers against left-handed pitchers.

Cleveland Guardians rookie outfielder Chase DeLauter (hamstring) exited Sunday's series finale against the visiting San Diego Padres early with "mild left-hamstring tightness," according to Tim Stebbins of MLB.com. DeLauter was removed in the third inning after going hitless in his lone plate appearance. He was replaced in right field by Angel Martinez. The 24-year-old left-handed slugger will have a scheduled day off on Monday, with his next chance to return to Cleveland's starting lineup coming in Tuesday's series opener at home against the San Francisco Giants. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. DeLauter came into Sunday's tilt against the Padres with a strong .286/.358/.443 slash line with an .801 OPS, 13 home runs, 57 RBI, 49 runs scored, and nine stolen bases across his 106 games and 452 plate appearances in his first year in the big leagues. It would be a shame for him to miss time the way he's been hitting, as he went 19-for-55 (.345) with a .919 OPS, two home runs, two doubles, six RBI, 11 runs scored, and three steals in 13 games in August going into Sunday's shutout loss to the Friars.

Cleveland Guardians right fielder Chase DeLauter (rib cage) has picked up where he left off since coming off the 10-day injured list on June 28. He has started all seven games since returning and gone 10-for-31 (.323) with three runs, five RBI, and one steal. The 24-year-old is now batting .269/.336/.410 with seven home runs, 39 RBI, 27 runs, and three steals through 271 at-bats. The plate skills are more convincing than the power so far. DeLauter has a 13.3% strikeout rate and 10.4% walk rate, while his 40.5% hard-hit rate and 5.9% barrel rate are solid rather than dominant. He is rostered in 51% of Yahoo leagues, and RotoBaller recommends him in 12-team formats. That is the right range. DeLauter should be rostered in leagues of that size, but seven homers and three steals do not support a five-category label.

The Cleveland Guardians announced on Sunday that they reinstated rookie outfielder Chase DeLauter (ribs) from the 10-day injured list and optioned outfielder Petey Halpin to Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move. It's unclear yet if DeLauter will be back in Cleveland's starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the visiting Seattle Mariners and right-hander Emerson Hancock. DeLauter was given the green light to return to the big-league roster after he took batting practice on the field on Saturday with the team. The 24-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder is returning from a fracture in his right rib cage that kept him sidelined for two weeks. At the very least, he should return to an everyday role between right field and designated hitter against right-handed pitchers for the Guards. The former 16th overall pick in 2022 out of James Madison University got off to a strong start in his first MLB season in 2026 before fading a bit. He's returning to a .263/.337/.408 slash line with a .745 OPS, seven home runs, 34 RBI, 24 runs, and two steals in his 240 at-bats. DeLauter hasn't hit the ball hard consistently, but his plate discipline has been impressive as a first-year player with a 13.3% strikeout rate and 10.4% walk rate. He's rostered in only 37% of Yahoo leagues.

Cleveland Guardians manager Stephen Vogt said that outfielder Chase DeLauter (rib) is progressing and has a chance to return during the team's upcoming homestand, which begins on Friday. The 24-year-old has been on the 10-day injured list since June 14 due to a fractured rib. Across 270 plate appearances before the injury, DeLauter hit .263/.337/.408 with seven home runs, 34 RBI, 24 runs scored, and two stolen bases. Injuries have been a major issue for DeLauter, who has already set career-high marks in plate appearances and games played as a professional this season. DeLauter's lack of power (5.8% barrel rate) has been a bit of a surprise after he posted a 12.5% barrel rate and 51.9% hard-hit rate across 177 Triple-A plate appearances in 2025. However, his 10.4% walk rate and 13.3% strikeout rate indicate high-end plate skills. If DeLauter can find his power stroke in the second half of the season, he could emerge as a breakout fantasy outfielder.

The Cleveland Guardians placed rookie outfielder Chase DeLauter (rib) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to June 14) on Wednesday with a right side rib fracture and recalled outfield prospect Kahlil Watson from Triple-A Columbus in a corresponding move, according to Tim Stebbins of MLB.com. DeLauter suffered the injury over the weekend and will now be sidelined until at least June 24. With outfielder Angel Martinez (foot) and star third baseman Jose Ramirez (hand) also going on the IL this week, rookie Kahlil Watson, who has an intriguing power/speed profile, could see plenty of playing time to close out June in Cleveland. With a small crack in his rib, fantasy managers looking to stash DeLauter shouldn't be surprised if he doesn't make it back before the All-Star break in mid-July. The 24-year-old former 16th overall pick in 2022 out of James Madison University got off to a strong start to his rookie campaign in 2026, but he has cooled off recently and is currently slashing .263/.337/.408 with seven home runs, 34 RBI, 24 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 240 at-bats. In 10 games in June, DeLauter went 8-for-35 (.229) with a double, two RBI, two runs, three walks, and 11 strikeouts. He's now rostered in fewer than half of Yahoo leagues (44%).

Cleveland Guardians rookie outfielder Chase DeLatuer (ribs) is absent from the team's starting lineup on Tuesday on the road in Milwaukee against the Brewers, according to MLB.com. David Fry is starting in right field and will bat cleanup versus Brewers left-hander Robert Gasser. DeLauter is dealing with a rib-cage contusion that he suffered on Saturday when he crashed into the outfield wall, and he'll be missing a second straight game on Tuesday. The 24-year-old should be considered day-to-day for now. Check back to see if he's available to play in Wednesday's contest in Milwaukee. After a strong start in 2026 in his first year in the big leagues, DeLauter has cooled off at the plate and is now slashing .263/.337/.408 with a .745 OPS, seven home runs, 34 RBI, 24 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 240 at-bats. In his first 10 games in June, DeLauter has gone 8-for-35 (.229) with a double, two RBI, two runs scored, three walks, and 11 strikeouts.

Cleveland Guardians rookie outfielder Chase DeLauter (ribs) is not in the team's starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the division-rival Detroit Tigers, according to MLB.com. David Fry is starting in right field for Cleveland and will bat sixth against Tigers right-hander Casey Mize (groin), who is making his first start back from the injured list. DeLauter was forced to exit Saturday's game against Detroit early with a right rib-cage contusion after he crashed into the outfield wall. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. With the team scheduled for a day off on Monday, DeLauter will hopefully be ready to return for Tuesday's series opener in Milwaukee against the Brewers. In his first MLB season, the 24-year-old former 16th overall pick in 2022 out of James Madison University is batting .263/.337/.408 with a .745 OPS, seven home runs, 34 RBI, 24 runs scored, and two stolen bases in 240 at-bats. The left-handed-hitting outfielder has been cold so far in June, going 8-for-35 (.229) with a double, two RBI, two runs scored, three walks, and 11 strikeouts.

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Chase DeLauter (ribs) was removed early during Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers. DeLauter suffered a right ribcage contusion when he crashed into the wall during the first inning. He stayed in the game and singled in his lone at-bat of the game in the bottom of the inning. DeLauter was pulled for Daniel Schneeman after showing signs of discomfort while running to first base. It's unclear at the moment if DeLauter will be forced to miss additional time from this injury. For now, fantasy managers should consider DeLauter as day-to-day until more information on his status is available.
