Josh Reddick Fantasy

Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick (shoulder) said he will make his Grapefruit League debut possibly as early as this weekend. Reddick is healed from offseason left shoulder surgery but arrived at camp on a personal workout plan. The Astros are just being cautious with the 33-year-old, and he should be fine in time for Opening Day. Reddick hit a useful .275/.319/.409 with 14 home runs, 56 RBI and five steals in 141 games last year, but he doesn't play frequently enough to contribute relevant numbers in the counting stats in shallow mixed leagues. He'll be battling for playing time in right field in a loaded outfield picture in Houston, too.

Houston Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said that starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (elbow) and outfielder Josh Reddick (shoulder) will be 100 percent healthy entering spring training and won't be limited at all. McCullers missed the entire 2019 season after having Tommy John surgery, but he'll be a big part of the team's rotation if he's healthy. He'll need to stay healthy to try and help fill in for the loss of Gerrit Cole. McCullers has electric stuff (10.1 K/9 in four seasons), but injuries are what makes him a high-risk, high-reward fantasy starter. You could be able to get him on the cheap in 2020 coming off his injury. Reddick hit .275/.319/.409 with 14 home runs and 56 RBI in his 501 at-bats for the 'Stros in 2019. The 32-year-old is more of a commodity in deep mixed and AL-only leagues for outfield depth.

Houston Astros outfielder Josh Reddick hit his fourth career postseason home run in the Astros 4-1 win over the Yankees in Game 3 of the ALCS. Reddick hasn't done much in the playoffs thus far, posting only two hits in his first 14 at-bats. But Reddick put a charge into one in the second inning, setting the Astros up for an early 2-0 lead. The veteran is a solid role player in a potent offense but has little fantasy appeal for the rest of the series.
