Peyton Burdick Stats

The Miami Marlins recalled outfield prospect Peyton Burdick from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday and placed first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (ear) on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move with an inner-ear infection. The Marlins also selected left-hander Devin Smeltzer's contract from Triple-A and designated right-hander Johan Quezada for assignment. Burdick hit just .207 with four home runs and 11 RBI in his first 32 big-league games in 2022, but he was hitting .293 (29-for-99) with four doubles, 10 home runs, 24 RBI and five steals in 25 games at Triple-A before his call-up. The 26-year-old is worth a pickup in deep-mixed and NL-only leagues. Cooper should be back when he's eligible to return, and Yuli Gurriel will hold down the fort at first base in the meantime.

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Peyton Burdick was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday and will make his major league debut against Chicago Cubs left-hander Justin Steele, as he's starting in left field and hitting seventh in the batting order. The club's No. 10 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, could see regular playing time in Miami's outfielder after Jesus Sanchez was sent down on Thursday. In 88 games for Jacksonville before his call-up, Burdick was hitting .229/.344/.430 with 14 home runs, 51 RBI, 70 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 385 plate appearances. The 25-year-old right-handed hitter has plus power to all fields, but his aggressive approach at the plate leads to a lot of swing and miss. Those in need of power down the stretch in deeper leagues should give Burdick a look.

Miami Marlins outfield prospect Peyton Burdick went 2-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts for Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday. The 25-year-old is now hitting .234 with seven home runs, 20 RBI and six stolen bases. Burdick has a knack for hitting the ball hard and also isn't shy about trying to swipe a bag. With the Marlins offense struggling, there is a chance that Burdick could see time in the big leagues during the 2022 campaign. If he were to get a promotion, he would make for an intriguing waiver-wire pickup in redraft leagues. Now is the time for dynasty managers to start monitoring his progress before it's too late.
