Oscar Mercado Stats

In a strange, cyclical turn of events, outfielder Oscar Mercado is a member of the Cleveland Guardians once again. The Guardians claimed him off waivers on Sunday after the Philadelphia Phillies designated him for assignment. The Phillies had previously acquired Mercado after the Guardians designated him for assignment about two weeks back. Mercado appeared in just one game for the Phillies prior to being DFA'd. The 27-year-old will likely be a reserve outfielder for the Guardians once again. During his first stint with the Guardians this year, he slashed .202/.227/.377 over 49 games.

The Cleveland Guardians designated outfielder Oscar Mercado for assignment on Tuesday. The move was made to clear space for fellow outfielder Franmil Reyes (hamstring), who is being activated from the injured list on Tuesday. Mercado had been in the midst of a rough season offensively. Over 49 games, he slashed .202/.227/.377 with four home runs, 16 RBI and 17 runs. He managed just two stolen bases on four attempts. Mercado flashed a ton of promise as a rookie in 2019, when he compiled 15 homers and 15 steals over 115 games while batting .269, but he's struggled to find consistency at the plate since then.

Cleveland Indians outfielder Oscar Mercado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Texas Rangers. It was a solid night for Mercado who is hitting just .233 with 26 base hits in August. He is not currently fantasy-relevant despite the solid output Wednesday and should remain on the waiver wire.
