Isaac Collins Fantasy Stats

Kansas City Royals outfielder Isaac Collins (back, side) is serving as the designated hitter and batting leadoff in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Texas Rangers. It will be Collins' first spring training game since March 10 while recovering from back and left-side tightness. Barring a setback, Collins should be ready for Opening Day at the end of next week. In six Cactus League games before his injury, the 28-year-old switch-hitter went 2-for-18 (.111) with two walks and nine strikeouts in 20 plate appearances. Collins hit .263/.368/.411 with a .779 OPS, nine home runs, 54 RBI, 56 runs scored, and 16 stolen bases in 130 games over 441 plate appearances in his first full big-league season in 2025 with the Milwaukee Brewers. In deep-mixed and OBP leagues, Collins is a decent late-round flier with some speed and modest power. He will most likely be in some sort of platoon role in his first year in KC.

Kansas City Royals outfielder Isaac Collins (back, side) is dealing with mild back/left-side tightness in camp, which is why he hasn't been in the Cactus League lineup in spring training since Tuesday, according to Anne Rogers of MLB.com. The Royals are being cautious more than anything else, with Collins telling Rogers it's an injury he "doesn't want to push through" with Opening Day only two weeks away. It's something to monitor for now, with Collins being considered more day-to-day. The 28-year-old was acquired by the Royals in the offseason in a trade with the Brewers after the switch-hitter batted .263/.368/.411 with a .779 OPS, nine home runs, 54 RBI, 56 runs, and 16 stolen bases in 441 plate appearances over 130 games in 2025 in his second year in the majors. His .111 batting average in 20 plate appearances in spring training wasn't helping his cause for a part-time role in KC's outfield to begin the 2026 campaign.

Kansas City Royals outfielder Isaac Collins (knees) received platelet-rich plasma injections in his knees this offseason, according to MLB.com's Anne Rogers. Collins didn't play in a Cactus League game over the weekend, but he's scheduled to play in Tuesday's road game against the Cincinnati Reds, and then again on Friday at home against the Athletics. He has been taking live at-bats against Royals pitchers and participating in all working, but the Royals are intentionally taking it slow with Collins. The 28-year-old has otherwise felt great. After Friday's game, he'll be a full-go and will be on a normal build-up schedule. At the time the Royals traded for Collins in December, manager Matt Quatraro said the team knew about his knee injections. Barring an injury before Opening Day, Collins projects as the Royals' fourth outfielder, limiting his fantasy appeal to deep-mixed and AL-only leagues.

The Kansas City Royals acquired outfielder Isaac Collins and right-handed reliever Nick Mears from the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday in exchange for left-hander Angel Zerpa, sources told Jeff Passan of ESPN.com. Collins surprisingly finished fourth in the National League Rookie of the Year voting in 2025 after slashing .263/.368/.411 with a .779 OPS, nine home runs, 54 RBI, 56 runs scored, and 16 stolen bases in 130 regular-season games for the Brew Crew. The 28-year-old former ninth-rounder by the Rockies in 2019 out of Creighton struggled down the stretch, though. In Kansas City, the switch-hitting outfielder will likely compete for a platoon spot in the outfield for the Royals in spring training. The move to the American League Central with a clearer path to regular playing time should make him more attractive as a late-round flier in AL-only fantasy leagues in 2026.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Isaac Collins will move into the starting lineup for the first time this postseason. Collins came off the bench twice during the NLDS versus the Chicago Cubs. He'll now enter the lineup for the first time as he'll bat eighth and start in left field against left-hander Blake Snell. Collins slashed .263/.368/.411 with nine home runs, 54 RBI, and 16 stolen bases in 130 games during the regular season. On Monday, Sal Frelick will move over to center field while Blake Perkins heads to the bench.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Isaac Collins is out of the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Collins will head to the bench for the third time in the last five games. He's currently in an 0-for-13 slump at the plate, so it's not surprising to see Collins seeing more time on the bench. Jake Bauers will take over in left field while Andrew Vaughn covers first base during Saturday's game. Collins doesn't offer enough upside at the plate right now to warrant rostering in most fantasy formats.

The Milwaukee Brewers announced that they have reinstated outfielder Isaac Collins (personal) from the paternity list and optioned infielder Tyler Black to Triple-A Nashville. Collins is back after missing the Brewers' weekend series against the Cincinnati Reds, but he is not in the lineup for Game 1 of a doubleheader versus the Chicago Cubs on Monday. Christian Yelich is in left field, Collins' typical spot, and hitting cleanup in a meeting with right-hander Cade Horton. The 28-year-old Collins has emerged as one of many standouts for a Milwaukee team that owns the majors' best record (78-45). He has slashed .288/.384/.448 with eight homers, 41 RBI, 48 runs scored, and 13 stolen bases in 331 plate appearances.

Brewers outfielder Isaac Collins launched his third home run of the season in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs. Collins opened the scoring with a two-run, 388-foot blast to right field in the second inning. The 27-year-old switch-hitter finished the game 2-for-4, adding a double in the fourth. Collins is slashing .242/.349/.375 in his second year in the big leagues, carrying a .724 OPS and a .327 wOBA. He has shown improved plate discipline with a 12.7 walk percentage and a 27.6 whiff percentage, down from 40 percent last season. Collins will look to continue earning solid playing time for a competitive Brewers team.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Isaac Collins will start Sunday's series finale against the hosting Tampa Bay Rays on the bench for the second time in the weekend series. The left-handed-hitting Jake Bauers will start in left field for the Brew Crew and will hit seventh against Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen. Collins, who hits from both sides of the plate, has gone hitless in his last three games and has gone 4-for-21 (.190) with five walks and nine strikeouts in eight games played in May. The 27-year-old could lose more playing time to Bauers against right-handed pitchers after starting the year hitting .237/.338/.356 with a homer, two RBI, three steals and seven runs scored. Bauers has been slightly better with a .250/.345/.479 slash line, three homers, 11 RBI, two steals and seven runs. In five career at-bats against Rasmussen, he's also hit .400 with an .800 OPS.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder/first baseman Jake Bauers and outfielder Isaac Collins have made the team's Opening Day roster, according to MLB.com's Adam McCalvy. Bauers, 29, hit .263 (10-for-38) with four doubles, three home runs, nine RBI and two stolen bases in 15 Cactus League games to earn a spot as a bench bat for the Brew Crew to open the 2025 season. The left-handed hitter does provide a little pop -- he has 51 long balls and 183 RBI in five major-league seasons -- but he swings and misses too much to provide a useful average, and he will need some injuries to occur to see regular playing time. Bauers will provide depth at first, in the outfield and at designated hitter. Collins, 27, will be another utility player for Milwaukee with the ability to play outfield, second and third base. He had an .861 OPS with 14 homers and 24 steals in 2024 for Triple-A Nashville.
