The Chicago White Sox acquired outfielder Paulo Orlando from the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday, and he has been assigned to Triple-A Charlotte. It's likely the Dodgers received cash considerations in return. The 33-year-old is a .263/.289/.384 hitter in 918 plate appearances in the big leagues and is strictly outfield depth for the Pale Hose. You can ignore Orlando in fantasy setups.
Kansas City Royals outfielder Paulo Orlando has been recalled from Triple-A and will get a rare start on Saturday. Orlando has been summoned to fill in for rookie outfielder Rosell Herrera while he's away on paternity leave. Orlando has been a disappointment this season even by his standards, as he's hit just .177 in his limited major league at-bats. Orlando isn't much of an offensive force even when he's hitting well, so only truly desperate owners should take a shot on him this weekend.
Kansas City Royals outfielder Paulo Orlando was once again sent back down to Triple-A Omaha on Saturday. Orlando hit just .177 in his 22 games with the big league club, and he was quickly outpaced by young breakout Rosell Herrera. The 32-year-old's days are probably drawing to a close, but he'll still act as a go-to if injuries crop up. Even when he is with the Royals, he's not bringing any value to the fantasy table.
Kansas City Royals outfielder Paulo Orlando led the way on Friday night by smacking a couple of hits in the team's losing effort against the Astros. KC only had five hits total in the game, so Orlando's pair also eventually led to two of the team's three runs. The injury suffered by Jorge Soler will likely lead to more days in the lineup for Orlando, but he's only hitting .150 since his recall from Triple-A a couple weeks ago. The 32-year-old holds no real value in most fantasy leagues unless he gets hot, but if he can find his stroke, he can put up a bunch of numbers in a one- or two-week span. Unfortunately, he is out of the starting lineup on Saturday.
Having traded away their starting center fielder, the Kansas City Royals summoned Paulo Orlando back from Triple-A Omaha on Thursday, promptly starting him against Oakland. Stepping right in where he left off in April prior to his demotion, Orlando went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts as the Royals lost once again. Orlando hit .300 with five home runs during his 35-game stint at Triple-A, but he hasn't hit above .200 in the majors since 2016 and will only have fantasy value if he gets really hot. Owners should look elsewhere for now unless they're in an extremely deep league.
Kansas City Royals center fielder Paulo Orlando is expected to get the majority of starts while Alex Gordon is on the disabled list. Orlando briefly gained some popularity last year when he got hot for a couple of weeks, but other than small bursts, he should be nothing but an afterthought for fantasy owners. The Royals have a few halfway decent prospects in the minors, but they're a rebuilding team with a lot of mediocre players that shouldn't raise any fantasy eyebrows unless they go on a roll.
Kansas City Royals outfielder Paulo Orlando will step in for a start or two while regular starting outfielder Alex Gordon is resting his tight groin. Unfortunately, Orlando brings no real value to the table for fantasy purposes, so owners shouldn't race out to pick him in anything besides the deepest of leagues. He's also almost assured to be sent back to the bench once Gordon is feeling better because while Gordon has been terrible, he's collecting $20 million per season through 2019 to be that bad.
Kansas City Royals outfielder Paulo Orlando (hamstring) will be out three to six days with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, according to manager Ned Yost. Injuries and poor play hurt Orlando in 2016, as he hit a putrid .197 with two homers, six RBI and one steal in only 39 games. Lorenzo Cain leaving in free agency appeared to open up a starting spot for Orlando in center field, but the recent signing of Jon Jay may put that on hold. While Orlando offers decent contact and speed, a lack of a clear path to consistent playing time hurts his fantasy value. He should be ready for Opening Day, barring any other setbacks with his hamstring.
