David Dahl News
The San Diego Padres activated outfielder David Dahl (quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list on Thursday and then optioned him to Triple-A El Paso. Dahl will most likely be back on the big-league roster at some point in 2023 if injuries strike, but for now he'll bide his time on the farm. The 29-year-old oft-injured outfielder has played in just four games for the Friars so far this season, going 1-for-9 with a solo home run and two strikeouts. He's played in only five games for El Paso, going 7-for-26 (.269) with a double, home run, four RBI and four runs scored. Dahl remains well off the fantasy radar for now as organizational outfield depth in San Diego.
San Diego Padres outfielder David Dahl is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Atlanta Braves. Dahl and Jose Azocar are getting a breather after an off day for San Diego on Wednesday. The 29-year-old left-handed hitter hit well in spring training but is off to a rough start at the plate in his first four regular season games, going 1-for-9 (.111) with a solo home run and two strikeouts. With Dahl starting on the bench, Rougned Odor will get the start in right field for the Friars and hit eighth in the batting order against Braves right-hander Spencer Strider. Odor, also a left-handed hitter, has gone 1-for-7 with a double and a walk in his first three games for the Padres. He has some pop from the left side, but he'll have little DFS upside in the eight-hole against a tough pitcher.
San Diego Padres outfielder David Dahl is right back in the starting lineup Tuesday after coming up clutch in Monday's come-from-behind victory. Dahl hit a ninth-inning solo home run to tie the game at four before Ha-Seong Kim followed up with a home run of his own to walk off the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks. Signed a minor-league deal this winter, Dahl didn't appear in the big leagues at all last season, instead suiting up for the Triple-A affiliates of the Milwaukee Brewers and Washington Nationals where he combined for 10 home runs and three stolen bases across 85 games. With right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. eligible to return from his 80-game PED suspension on April 20, it's unclear if Dahl will remain with the big club for much longer.

Texas Rangers outfielder David Dahl has become a forgotten man in fantasy, but a fresh start with a new team could prove helpful to the former top prospect. This, of course, is if he can stay on the field. Dahl's promising, young career has been ravaged by a myriad of injuries, missing at least a month of every season from 2017-20. In fact, Dahl's career-high for games played is only 100 back in his breakout 2019 season where he flashed the potential that made him the 10th-overall pick. Dahl put up a .302/.353/.524 slash line with 15 homers and 67 runs scored in 413 plate appearances before his season was cut short with an ankle injury. Further complicating matters is his transition from Colorado to Texas. Coors Field is the most hitter-friendly venue in the Majors and played a role in his strong numbers. As a result, Dahl's .358 career-BABIP is sure to regress making him a risky fantasy option. Dahl shouldn't be drafted in standard-size mixed leagues but he has value in deeper formats as the everyday left or center fielder for Texas. Keep an eye on Dahl this Spring, if he's healthy he would be a good value in fantasy with an average draft position around 330.
