Jose Barrero Stats

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Jose Barrero (hand) had successful surgery on the hamate bone in his left hand and is expected to be out for six weeks. Barrero was hoping to compete for the starting job at shortstop to open the season, but that will now be Kyle Farmer's job early in 2022. The 23-year-old has hit just .197/.242/.248 with no home runs and five RBI in 124 plate appearances over his first 45 big-league games the last two years in Cincinnati, but he could earn some playing time at the 6 eventually over Farmer once he's fully healthy. Barrero can probably be ignored in shallow mixed leagues this season.

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Jose Barrero (hand) is expected to be sidelined six weeks. He was diagnosed with a hamate injury in his left hand. This is a shame considering the 23-year-old was expected to compete for the starting shortstop spot in spring training. The young infielder has struggled during his brief time in the big leagues. However, he hit well during his time in the minors last season. He should get an opportunity to play in Cincinnati at some point this season. In the meantime, it sounds like Kyle Farmer has won the Opening Day shortstop gig by default.

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Jose Barrero is expected to compete for the starting gig in spring training, according to manager David Bell. It's worth noting that Bell mentioned Kyle Farmer is likely to enter spring training as the starting shortstop. Although, Barrero will get a legitimate chance to earn the starting job. The 23-year-old struggled with the Reds last season, but played well in the minors. He hit .303/.380/.539 with 19 homers, 66 RBI and 16 stolen bases between Double-A and Triple-A last season. He could be someone worth looking at in deep leagues.
