According to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, the Arizona Diamondbacks have signed outfielder Cristian Pache to a non-roster invite. Pache spent the 2024 campaign playing in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Miami. Across 88 games, Pache posted a .200/.273/.279 slash line with eight doubles, one home run, and one stolen base. Across 48 games in 2023, he held a slightly higher .238/.319/.417 line. Through 169 games at the Triple-A level, the 26-year-old posted a .260/.325/.401 line with 33 doubles and 13 stolen bases. Pache will likely compete for a roster spot during Spring Training. Pache should not be on your fantasy radar heading into the 2025 season given his lack of consistent production in the big leagues.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Cristian Pache is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's Game 1 of the Wild Card series against the Miami Marlins. The Phillies will move Pache into the lineup versus left-hander Jesus Luzardo. Normally, Brandon Marsh would be out there, but he'll head to the bench versus the southpaw. Pache will cover left field and bat eighth on Tuesday. He hasn't done much damage with the bat during his 48 games with the Phillies this season. That being said, Pache won't be a great streaming option for this contest.
Cristian Pache Goes On Injured List, Phils Recall Johan Rojas
The Philadelphia Phillies placed outfielder Cristian Pache (elbow) on the 10-day injured list (retroactive to July 11) on Friday with right-elbow irritation and recalled outfield prospect Johan Rojas from Double-A Reading and infielder Drew Ellis from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in corresponding moves. Pache's injury is minor, so he could be back before the end of the month. In a small sample size of 49 at-bats, he's hitting a strong .327 with just two homers and eight RBI in a platoon in center field for the Phils. With Pache out, Rojas, the team's No. 6 prospect per MLB Pipeline, should see some playing time in center field against left-handers. The 22-year-old has impressed with a .306 average, nine home runs and 30 steals at Reading this year, but fantasy managers in single-year leagues shouldn't invest much in him because he probably isn't going to stick around long on the big-league roster.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Cristian Pache (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The 24-year-old has been out since late-April due to a meniscus tear in his right knee. Before that, Pache was actually hitting well through his first nine games with the Phillies. He's not expected to play everyday, so his fantasy value is going to be limited. Pache was once a top prospect, so maybe he can finally reach his full potential. This is a wait-and-see approach for fantasy managers.
Cristian Pache Could May Rehab Assignment Wednesday
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Cristian Pache (knee) is expected to begin a rehab assignment at Low-A Clearwater on Wednesday. The 24-year-old appeared in 18 games this season, amassing a .360 average with nine hits and four RBI. However, he tore the meniscus in his right knee at the end of April, resulting in surgery. Although it's unlikely Pache will continue to play as well as he did before going down, he's someone fantasy managers should keep an eye on moving ahead.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Cristian Pache (knee) had knee surgery on Monday and will be out at least four to six weeks, according to reports. Pache injured his right meniscus while on the basepaths during Friday's game, and it was eventually determined that he needed surgery. He had been off to a fast start with the Phillies in 2023, hitting .360 with a homer, two runs, and four RBI across 25 at-bats.
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Cristian Pache (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right knee injury. The 24-year-old appeared to tweak his knee on the basepaths in Friday's contest and was initially ruled day-to-day before being placed on the IL. Pache was playing well for the Phillies after being traded from the A's earlier this season. He's slashing .360/.360/.600 with one home run and four RBI over 25 at-bats on the year. Knee issues can be tricky so we'll see how long his stint on the IL lasts. Dalton Guthrie was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.
The Philadelphia Phillies acquired outfielder Cristian Pache from the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday in exchange for right-hander Billy Sullivan. Pache, once a top prospect of the Atlanta Braves, was dealt to Philly after it was announced that he wouldn't make Oakland's Opening Day roster. The 24-year-old's glove is still way ahead of his bat, although he did hit .302 (13-for-43) with a double, two triples, eight RBI, three runs scored and a steal in 21 Cactus League games this spring. In his three major-league seasons, Pache has hit just .156 with a .439 OPS, four home runs, 22 RBI and 24 runs scored in 115 games. For now, he'll bring the Phillies some outfield depth. Pache can be ignored in single-year mixed leagues.
Oakland Athletics outfielder Cristian Pache, who is out of minor-league options, won't open the year on the team's Opening Day roster, according to manager Mark Kotsay. Brent Rooker and Conner Capel will be on the Opening Day roster. It comes after Pache hit .302 (13-for-43) with a double, two triples, eight RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in 21 Cactus League games this spring. He was terrible in 91 games for the A's last year, though, slashing .166/.218/.241 with three home runs, 18 RBI and 18 runs scored in 260 plate appearances. If Oakland can't find a trade partner for the 24-year-old, he's likely to be designated for assignment. Esteury Ruiz, who is a fine stolen base target late in drafts, should see a lot of playing time in the outfield with Pache now out of the picture.
Oakland A's center fielder Cristian Pache has come out of the gates hot this spring as he chases down a full-time role for the A's in 2023. Through 10 Cactus League contests, Pache is hitting .417 with a double, two triples and a 1.065 OPS across 24 at-bats. To his credit, the 24-year-old has yet to strike out in that time, albeit with just one walk to his credit. Nonetheless, Pache has already put his excellent defense on display at the big-league level but has scuffled to a .156 batting average with four home runs, two stolen bases and a .439 OPS across 332 career trips to the plate. Pache even scuffled to a .248 average with four homers and one steal alongside a .687 OPS in 41 games at Triple-A in 2022. His chances for increased playing time improved with newcomer JJ Bleday being optioned to the minors, but Pache will likely need to carry his hot spring start into the regular season for everyday reps in 2023.
