Kyle Garlick News
The Arizona Diamondbacks have signed outfielders Kyle Garlick and Albert Almora to minor-league deals. Garlick, 32, has spent the last three seasons with the Minnesota Twins but his production took a major turn for the worse in the 2023 season. Known as a lefty-masher, the righty-swinging Garlick hit just .179 with a 36.7% K% across a small 30-plate-appearance sample size in the 2023 season. He did hover around league average in his previous two seasons, as per wRC+, and has generally hit left-handed pitching well in his career. Almora, 29, didn't appear in the big leagues in the 2023 season as he suffered a shoulder injury late in the 2022 season. He is a career .239 hitter with 33 home runs and seven stolen bases across 600 MLB contests.
Minnesota Twins outfielder Kyle Garlick is in Tuesday's starting lineup versus left-hander Chris Sale and the Boston Red Sox. Garlick had his contract selected from Triple-A recently and while he's made just four trips to the plate since, one of those plate appearances resulted in a home run. Unsurprisingly, the homer came off a left-handed pitcher as Garlick has made his big-league living mashing southpaw pitching. The 31-year-old has crushed lefties to the tune of a massive .299 isolated power alongside an .853 OPS, figures that are astronomically superior to his work against righties. He always makes sense as a streaming option against a lefty while he's yet to face Sale in his career.
The Minnesota Twins called up outfielder Kyle Garlick from Triple-A St. Paul to take shortstop Kyle Farmer's (jaw) spot on the roster. The Twins also moved outfielder Gilberto Celestino (thumb) to the 60-day injured list. Garlick, a right-handed hitter, could see some playing time in Minnesota's outfield against left-handed pitchers, but he shouldn't be on the radar of those in mixed fantasy leagues. The 31-year-old has a career slash line of just .229/.281/.439 with a .720 OPS, 17 home runs and 37 RBI in 144 games played over his four major-league seasons. Before the call-up, Garlick had two home runs in the minor leagues.
