Jesús Aguilar Stats

The Baltimore Orioles reportedly signed veteran first baseman Jesus Aguilar to a minor league deal on Wednesday, per a tweet from MASN's Roch Kubatko. Kubatko also noted in his tweet that Aguilar is joining Baltimore's major league taxi squad on Wednesday, so there's a good chance he'll join the big-league club when rosters expand on Thursday. The 32-year-old previously made 456 plate appearances for the Miami Marlins this season, hitting .236 with a .286 on-base percentage, 15 home runs and a stolen base. He'll provide the O's with some additional depth at both first base and designated hitter.

The Miami Marlins reinstated first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (concussion) from the seven-day concussion injured list on Friday and designated first baseman Jesus Aguilar for assignment in a corresponding move. Cooper is back at first base and is hitting fifth on Friday against Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Tyler Anderson. The 31-year-old should be a regular for Miami down the stretch, and he'll return to a .269/.345/.415 line with seven home runs, 42 RBI and 28 runs scored in his 323 at-bats this year. Aguilar has mostly played every day for the Fish in 2022 and was hitting .236/.286/.388 with 15 long balls, 49 RBI, 37 runs scored and a stolen base in 415 at-bats. The 32-year-old right-handed slugger will be hoping to latch on with a contender before the end of the year.

Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar singled and walked in four at-bats on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He also scored the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning. Besides his stellar 2018, Aguilar has been a pretty mediocre fantasy player, and that's continued in 2022. Over 80 games, he's hitting .248 with a .699 OPS, 11 HRs, 32 runs, 37 RBI, and one stolen base. It's easy to find this skillset on the waiver wire, so if fantasy managers need to open up a roster spot, Aguilar isn't a terrible player to drop.
