Justin Smoak Stats

First baseman/designated hitter Justin Smoaks tenure with the San Francisco Giants lasted just three games, as he was designated for assignment Monday after going 0-for-6. Smoak had begun the season with Milwaukee before the Giants scooped him up, but with no path to extended playing time over the final week of the year, the club had to move on with Alex Dickerson returning from the paternity list. Its unclear where Smoak will land, but he has averaged 28 home runs over the prior three years. For now, he has no fantasy intrigue, although that could change drastically heading into 2021 depending on his next situation.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Justin Smoak was designated for assignment Thursday, paving the way for Daniel Vogelbach to join the active roster after he was claimed off of waivers. Vogelbach was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Tuesday, and is now set to join his third team of the season after beginning the year with Seattle. Smoak hasnt been the impact bat that Milwaukee anticipated when they inked him during the offseason, delivering a .201 xBA and .275 xwOBA, which ranks him among the bottom six percentile of all batters in the Majors. Vogelbach has premium power, which makes him a high-upside (but also a high risk) addition to teams in season-long formats for aggressive fantasy managers.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Justin Smoak went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three RBI in Monday's 4-2 win over the Reds. Smoak got the Brewers out to a 1-0 lead in the first with a single that drove in teammate Christian Yelich. He later extended Milwaukee's lead with a two-run homer in the third. After getting off to a slow start to start the season, the switch-hitter is showing signs of dominance, smashing a pair of homers among four hits in the last two games. He continues to see regular at-bats in the middle of the Brewers order and he seems to be hitting stride.
