Ryan Fitzgerald Fantasy Stats

The Los Angeles Dodgers have designated infielder Ryan Fitzgerald for assignment. This transaction opened a spot on the roster for Andy Ibanez. The Dodgers claimed Fitzgerald off waivers from the Minnesota Twins earlier this week. If Fitzgerald were to clear waivers, he would report to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Last season, Fitzgerald made his MLB debut with the Twins and posted a .196/.302/.457 line with four long balls across a brief 24-game stint. During this small sample, he showed a strong eye at the plate, drawing walks at a 13.2% rate and striking out at a 15.1% rate. Through 59 games with Triple-A St. Paul last summer, Fitzgerald held a .836 OPS with 16 doubles and served home runs. He is worth monitoring in deeper formats as he has shown potential during his small look in the big leagues.

Through his first 24 games in the big leagues, Fitzgerald posted a .196/.302/.457 line with four home runs and one stolen base. He showed a strong eye at the plate, drawing walks at an elite 13.2% rate and striking out at a 15.2% rate. While he only swiped one bag, Fitzgerald showed above-average speed, placing in the 79th percentile in sprint speed. Through 59 games in Triple-A St. Paul last season, Fitzgerald posted a .277/.367/.469 line with 16 doubles, seven round-trippers, and five stolen bases. Managers should expect Fitzgerald to compete for a depth role on the MLB roster during Spring Training.
