José Osuna News
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Cole Tucker was placed on the seven-day concussion injured list prior to Thursdays contest versus St. Louis. To take his place on the active roster, the team recalled Jose Osuna from its alternate training site. Tucker has been shifted to the outfield full-time in 2020, although that hasnt materialized into production at the dish, as he has compiled a .527 OPS across 37 games. The rebuilding nature of the Bucs has allowed Tucker to see extended run, but his production hasnt delivered very much fantasy intrigue. Without him in the mix, look for Pittsburgh to deploy the outfield group of Adam Frazier, Bryan Reynolds, and Gregory Polanco with considerable frequency.
Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder/first baseman Jose Osuna, who has mostly been a bench bat for the team the last three years, stands to benefit from the universal designated hitter in 2020. Osuna hasn't played more than 104 games or recorded more than 285 plate appearances in a single season. The Pirates plan to rotate players through the DH spot, which should allow regulars like Josh Bell, Colin Moran and Gregory Polanco to take days off from playing defense. Osuna had 10 home runs, 20 doubles, 36 RBI and a league-average 100 OPS+ in 2019, but he can offer some power in deep mixed and NL-only leagues if he sees everyday at-bats in the 60-game season.
Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Jose Osuna went 2-for-2 with two runs and an RBI in Sunday's 13-2 loss at the hands of the Mets. Osuna came into the game as a defensive replacement for Josh Bell in the sixth inning and proceeded to hit a double and a home run in his only two at-bats. He has been on fire of late, having driven in eight runs in his last seven games. At this point, Osuna is not a full-time player and cannot be counted on in fantasy leagues.
