Los Angeles Angels second baseman David Fletcher (hand) is heading to the injured list after he was hit on the right hand last Saturday. Fletcher's scan came back negative, but there's a possibility of a bone bruise. The hope is that he can play the last week of the regular season. The 28-year-old's injury doesn't sound very serious, but he's going on the shelf regardless. He entered the game in the sixth inning on Friday night against the Seattle Mariners and went 0-for-1 with a strikeout and a run scored. Fletcher just hasn't done much for fantasy managers at all in 2022, hitting .259/.296/.349 with only two home runs, 15 RBI, 19 runs scored and one stolen base in 189 at-bats during an injury-plagued campaign.
Los Angeles Angels middle infielder David Fletcher (foot) was pinch-hit for by Jose Rojas in the seventh inning of Monday's game against the Mariners after fouling a pitch off of his foot in his previous at-bat, per MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger. Fantasy managers should check in for further information on the severity of the issue following the game. Fletcher has slashed .275/.313/.418 with two home runs and 12 RBI in 98 plate appearances this season and went 2-for-3 with two singles before exiting the game.
Los Angeles Angels infielder David Fletcher (foot) is not in the lineup for his team's game against the Seattle Mariners on Friday. Fletcher was hit in the foot by a pitch on Thursday and is still experiencing soreness in the area, although he will be available as a pinch-hitter if needed. Manager Phil Nevin told reporters that he expects Fletcher to be able to return to action on Saturday. Fletcher is hitting .200 with one homer, five runs, and five RBI across 55 at-bats in 2022.

David Fletcher is everyone's favorite old-school, contact hitter. In last year's shortened season, we saw him hit a career-best .319 with an .801 OPS. Fletcher doesn't worry about putting the ball in the air or even making solid contact. He puts the ball in play and lets volume be his friend. He was in the 98th percentile in K-rate and 100th percentile in whiff rate. Through three career seasons, Fletcher's 31.5% line-drive percentage is 5.8 points better than average. There are no secrets here. Unfortunately, this type of performance simply doesn't translate to useful fantasy production. Fletcher's absolute peak - which probably looks like 2020 stretched out over a full campaign - makes him a one-category fantasy asset and nothing else. His ceiling is incredibly low because he possesses no power and little to no speed production. A bad luck BABIP season makes him unusable. For his career, Fletcher has barreled up three total pitches. His hard-hit percentage was in the bottom one percent this past season. His baserunning runs above average have been in the negative each of the past two seasons. Instead of feeling like a safe place to turn in the back of drafts, he should be treated like a one-category commodity, a la Jon Berti or Manuel Margot. That has value, especially for lineups lacking expected batting average, but it places Fletcher's 202 ADP on the pricey end.
