Ezequiel Carrera News
The Atlanta Braves released Ezequiel Carrera on Thursday after an uninspiring Triple-A stint that saw him carry a pitiful .146 average over 82 at-bats. The former Toronto Blue Jays outfielder has seen some success at the major league level, which is evidenced by his lifetime .262 average. In terms of fantasy implications, there is not much to report about because Carrera should be far away from any fantasy roster. Perhaps a new team shows interest in him and a change of scenery does him somegood.
The Atlanta Braves brought in free-agent outfielder Ezequiel Carrera on a minor league pact. Carrera, who actually hit a decent .282 with eight homers in 2017, also brings some wheels to Atlanta. He stole 10 bases in 2017 with Toronto. He's never going to be a stud outfielder, being 30 years old and never getting more than 325 plate appearances, but he could be worth watching in a deep NL-only leagues.
The Toronto Blue Jays released outfielder Ezequiel Carrera, a move that shouldnt be surprising considering he was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo earlier in March. Carrera had been a mainstay coming off of Torontos bench since 2015, amassing a .267/.336/.380 (.716 OPS) slash line with 17 home runs, 112 runs scored, 69 RBI and 19 stolen bases across 827 plate appearances. Unfortunately for Carrera, he seems to be the victim of a logjam in the Blue Jays outfield. Kevin Pillar was the only sure outfielder on the roster heading into the winter, but after acquiring Curtis Granderson and Randal Grichuk (with both likely to start), plus the team being high on youngster Teoscar Hernandez, the 30-year-old Carrera lost out in the numbers game. He will likely resurface somewhere in a platoon he did look good against right-handed pitching last year, slashing .310/.376/.448 against them in 2017.
