Chris Okey Returning To Dodgers On Minor-League Deal
According to MLB.com, catcher Chris Okey is returning to the Los Angeles Dodgers on a minor-league contract. The 30-year-old had two brief stints in the major leagues during the 2022 and 2023 seasons and held a .143/.200/.143 across nine games. Okey spent the entire 2024 season with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Through 45 contests, Okey posted a .236/.282/.327 line with five doubles, two home runs, and a 10:33 BB:K ratio. Across 229 career contests at the Triple-A level, the Clemson product has posted a .242/.306/.363 slash line. Fantasy managers should expect Okey to remain in the minor leagues throughout most of the 2025 season, given his lack of big league experience and production.
Cincinnati Reds catcher Chris Okey has been recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Friday. This doesn't come as a surprise after Tyler Stephenson (thumb) was placed on the 10-day injured list. The organization expects Stephenson to miss roughly a month of action. In the meantime, Aramis Garcia and Okey will split up the duties behind home plate. However, Garcia expects to get a bulk of the playing time. Neither player is a reliable option in most fantasy formats.
