Corey Dickerson Stats

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Corey Dickerson will make his season debut during Saturday's matchup against the Pittsburgh Pirates, batting fifth as the designated hitter, according to MLB.com. Last season, the 32-year-old hit .271 with six home runs and six stolen bases over 109 games split between the Miami Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays. Dickerson doesn't figure to get everyday at-bats but should get plenty of opportunities against right-handers, as he owns a career .288 batting average against right-handers and hit .277 off of them in 2021. With righty Mitch Keller taking the mound for the Pirates, fantasy managers looking for batting average help should feel comfortable streaming Dickerson.

Free-agent outfielder Corey Dickerson is nearing an agreement with the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday, according to a source. Dickerson split the 2021 season with the Miami Marlins and Toronto Blue Jays and finished with a .271/.326/.408 slash line, six home runs, 29 RBI and six stolen bases in 365 total plate appearances spread across 109 games. Dickerson was an All-Star back in 2017 with the Tampa Bay Rays, but he's become more of a platoon bat against right-handed pitchers with very modest power as he enters his age-33 season in 2022. Dickerson figures to see most of his at-bats as the designated hitter for St. Louis while also occasionally seeing time in a corner outfield spot.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Corey Dickerson slugged his fifth homer of the season on Tuesday as his club fell to the White Sox 5-2. His solo shot in the seventh ended Dylan Cease's shutout bid for his only hit of the ball game as he finished the night going 1-for-4. The veteran is finding pretty consistent playing time since George Springer landed back on the shelf, and he's occupying a valuable spot in the batting order by batting out of the fifth spot. Dickerson is hitting a modest .245 with three homers and nine RBI in 18 games since joining the Jays, but you could do worse with a fifth OF spot in deeper leagues.
