Kevin Pillar Stats

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kevin Pillar (shoulder) was expected to miss the rest of the season. However, the veteran outfielder will begin hitting progression in the next few days. Pillar has been sidelined since early June due to a fractured left shoulder. The hope is that Pillar can begin playing in minor league games within the next three or four weeks. There seems to be a chance of Pillar returning to the Dodgers lineup before the end of the regular season. Despite that, it's unlikely that Pillar offers much upside in terms of fantasy baseball. He'll be a nice addition as depth for the Dodgers playoff run, but fantasy managers can ignore him until further notice.

The Los Angeles Dodgers placed outfielder Kevin Pillar (shoulder) on the injured list on Thursday with a left shoulder fracture and recalled infielder/outfielder Zach McKinstry from the minors in a corresponding move. Pillar left the game early on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Manager Dave Roberts said that surgery is a possibility for the 33-year-old veteran, so he should miss extended time. Pillar has only a double in 12 at-bats at the major league level for the Dodgers this year. McKinstry might be worth a pickup in NL-only leagues for depth purposes. The 27-year-old was hitting an excellent .338/.424/.464 with an .887 OPS, two home runs and 19 RBI in 38 games with Triple-A Oklahoma City before his call-up.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kevin Pillar is unlikely to make the Opening Day roster. Manager Dave Roberts mentioned that he plans to carry 16 pitchers going into the season. That means, the Dodgers will only have 12 position players on their roster. The last roster spot is expected to go to Edwin Rios. That being said, Pillar and Jake Lamb are likely to head to Triple-A to begin the year. Pillar has struggled during his time in spring training, but should see time in Los Angeles at some point this season.
