Curtis Granderson News
Former New York Yankees and New York Mets outfielder Curtis Granderson announced his retirement on Friday after a successful 16-year career. The 38-year-old was a lifetime .249 hitter with 344 home runs and 937 RBI. He began his career with the Tigers and also played for the Blue Jays, Brewers and Marlins. Grandy hit just .183/.281/.356 with 12 home runs and 34 RBI in 138 games with the Marlins in 2019. The three-time All-Star had his best season in 2011 with the Yankees when he hit .262 with 41 long balls, 136 runs scored, 119 RBI and 25 stolen bases to finish fourth in the American League MVP voting.
Miami Marlins outfielder Curtis Granderson went 1-for-4 with a walk during Wednesday's win over the Cardinals, drilling a three-run shot off of St. Louis reliever John Brebbia in the seventh inning. It was a rare semi-efficient outing for the veteran who is averaging an abysmal .182 average this season and a career-low .273 OBP. While his best days are undoubtedly behind him, his presence on an offensively inconsistent Miami squad further solidifies his spot as a free agent in virtually every fantasy league, regardless of the format.
Miami Marlins outfielder Curtis Granderson is not in the starting lineup on Friday against Padres left-handed starting pitcher Joey Lucchesi. Austin Dean is leading off and hitting leadoff, while Martin Prado will get the first crack at first base with Neil Walker (quadriceps) on the injured list. Dean is a desperation deep sleeper consideration in DFS, as he has eight hits in 43 at-bats (.186) with a homer and 11 strikeouts. Prado isn't much better (.234 average, one homer in 124 at-bats), so he's one to fade with very little upside left in his game.
