Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Freddy Galvis went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in a win over the Cubs on Wednesday. Galvis has been a solid addition since the Phillies acquired his services on August 25. In that span, he's produced a solid .319 wOBA with 11 runs and 11 RBI across just 18 games. He's not relevant in standard-size mixed leagues, but Galvis has fantasy value as a middle or corner infielder in leagues that utilize deep rosters as he's been playing most days at third base for Philadelphia.
Philadelphia Phillies infielder Freddy Galvis went 1-for-3 with a solo homer on Labor Day at Milwaukee. Galvis has been a nice pickup for the Phillies as the veteran infielder now has a homer in three of his last four games. Galvis has been playing most days at shortstop or third base, but isn't a priority to add in fantasy. Galvis is slashing just .247/.305/.424 this season and he's not likely to go on a power surge to end the season with a hard-hit rate below 30 percent. He's a nice hot-hand play in DFS, but Galvis can be left on waivers in most redraft leagues.
Freddy Galvis Collects Three RBI In Win Vs Arizona
Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Freddy Galvis went 1-for-3 with three RBI in a win over the Diamondbacks on Sunday. Galvis now has hits in two of four starts with the Phillies after spending most of the season with Baltimore. The veteran has been filling in at shortstop and third base for the Phillies and could see more playing time down the stretch with Alec Bohm in Triple-A. Galvis doesn't bring much to the table for fantasy, however, as he's batting just .243 with a .399 slugging percentage and only one stolen base. He can be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues.
Sam Coonrod and Freddy Galvis Set For Rehab Assignments
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Sam Coonrod (elbow) and second baseman Freddy Galvis (quad) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Tuesday. Coonrod has been sidelined since June 25 with right forearm tendinitis. He was cleared to resume throwing and, barring a setback, could be activated next week. The 28-year-old owns a 4.18 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 30 strikeouts over 27 appearances before being placed on the IL. As for Galvis, he was acquired in a trade with the Orioles and has been sidelined since late June with a strained right quad. The 31-year-old slashed .249/.306/.414 with nine home runs, 26 RBI, 36 runs scored, and one stolen base over 273 plate appearances in 2021.
The Baltimore Orioles on Friday traded shortstop Freddy Galvis (quadriceps) to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for pitching prospect Tyler Burch. Galvis played the first six seasons of his MLB career in Philadelphia, hitting .245/.287/.372 during that stint. The 31-year-old switch-hitter was slashing .249/.306/.414 with nine home runs in 72 games prior to suffering a quadriceps injury that has sidelined him for about a month. Expect Galvis to get some rehab games in before slotting back into Philadelphia's lineup.
Baltimore Orioles shortstop Freddy Galvis (quadriceps) will participate in rehab games sometime within the next few days. Galvis has been out for about a month because of a right calf strain, and the latest update keeps him in line with the July 30 anticipated return date. The 31-year-old still has value, although not as much as in previous years, primarily since he isn't a consistent threat to steal bases. Nonetheless, he is still worth a stash in deeper formats, although nobody would blame fantasy managers for dropping him. Ramon Urias should continue to benefit until Galvis returns.
Baltimore Orioles shortstop Freddy Galvis (quadriceps) will start rehabbing his strained right quad at the team's spring training complex shortly after the All-Star break, according to manager Brandon Hyde. Galvis is recovering ahead of schedule and could return by July 30. The 31-year-old veteran infielder will return to a .249/.306/.414 slash line, nine home runs, 36 runs scored and 26 RBI in 249 at-bats for the O's this year. Now that he's not a threat to steal double-digit bases, which he hasn't done since 2017, Galvis is merely infield depth in AL-only leagues at this point in his career. Ramon Urias, who has been filling in at shortstop, is much more attractive in those same leagues, as he's hit .284 (29-for-102) with four home runs and 14 RBI in 37 games this year.
The Baltimore Orioles placed shortstop Freddy Galvis (quadriceps) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday with a right quadriceps strain and recalled second baseman Domingo Leyba, outfielder Ryan McKenna and infielder Ramon Urias from Triple-A Norfolk. Right-hander Konner Wade and outfielder Stevie Wilkerson have been optioned to Norfolk. Galvis was injured on Saturday when he tried to beat out a bunt single in his first at-bat. The 31-year-old veteran infielder is hitting .249/.306/.414 with nine home runs and 26 RBI in 274 plate appearances this year, but he hasn't homered in June after slugging seven long balls in May. He's not a must-hold in deep mixed leagues. Urias, who is 14-for-57 (.246) with two homers for the O's this year, is starting at the 6 and hitting eighth on Sunday against Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Ross Stripling. Baltimore could use a combination of Urias, Leyba and Pat Valaika at short until Galvis returns.
O’s Planning For Freddy Galvis To Be Out On Sunday
Baltimore Orioles shortstop Freddy Galvis (quad) exited Saturday's matchup against the Blue Jays, and the team is still currently awaiting MRI results. However, manager Brandon Hyde indicated that the club is planning on having another infielder on hand for the series finale against Toronto on Sunday while also indicating that he is concerned about the ailment. While Galvis is still considered day-to-day because of the quad discomfort, fantasy managers should brace for a possible stint on the injured list. Stevie Wilkerson came in after the veteran's premature exit, although he isn't a reliable fantasy option moving ahead.
