Ryan O'Hearn Fantasy Stats

The Pittsburgh Pirates announced on Friday that they activated first baseman/outfielder Ryan O'Hearn (quadriceps) from the 10-day injured list. Although O'Hearn is back for the start of the team's weekend series in Chicago against the division-rival Cubs, he is not in the team's starting lineup on Friday against Cubs left-hander Shota Imanaga. The 33-year-old veteran should be back in the lineup for the first time since late July for Game 2 of the series at Wrigley Field on Saturday. He went 1-for-7 with a double in two minor-league rehab games with Triple-A Indianapolis and will be hoping to pick up where he left off with the Pirates. In his first year in the Steel City in 2026, O'Hearn has slashed .270/.334/.454 with a .788 OPS, a career-high-tying 17 home runs, 69 RBI, 54 runs scored, and a stolen base in 96 games across 398 plate appearances. He has been pretty mediocre against left-handers, though, hitting .223 (25-for-112) against them with only four of his 17 home runs in 124 plate appearances. Against righties, though, he could be a nice asset for fantasy managers in deeper leagues to close out the season.

The Pittsburgh Pirates placed first baseman/outfielder Ryan O'Hearn (quadriceps) on the 10-day injured list on Saturday with a strained left quadriceps muscle that is expected to keep him sidelined for six to eight weeks, according to Jason Mackey. O'Hearn injured his quad while running to first base on Friday, and the injury could keep him out for the remainder of the 2026 season. It's a really tough break for the 33-year-old left-handed slugger, who was in the midst of the best year of his MLB career. If O'Hearn doesn't play again for Pittsburgh this year, he'll finish with a .270/.334/.454 slash line, a .788 OPS, a career-high-tying 17 home runs, 69 RBI, 54 runs scored, and a stolen base in 96 games across 398 plate appearances. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues should not feel the need to hold O'Hearn on their rosters because of the high likelihood he won't play again this year. Rookie Rafael Flores Jr., who is coming off the concussion injured list, and Jacob Gonzalez could split playing time at first base for the Bucs going forward with O'Hearn on the shelf.

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Ryan O'Hearn (quad) was removed during Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. O'Hearn appears to have suffered a quad injury while running to first base during the ninth inning of Friday's loss. He needed to be helped off the field and was reportedly using crutches in the clubhouse. Pirates' manager Don Kelly said that the injury didn't look good, so the team will likely send O'Hearn for additional testing. There should be more information on his status ahead of Saturday's contest. For now, fantasy managers can consider O'Hearn as day-to-day, but don't be shocked if he lands on the Injured List. Jacob Gonzalez could potentially move to first base if O'Hearn misses time.

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/outfielder Ryan O'Hearn made Pirates history on Tuesday night in the team's 12-4 blowout win at PNC Park over the visiting Atlanta Braves. O'Hearn was locked in at the plate, going 4-for-5 with three home runs and a franchise-record 10 RBI to raise his season average to .293 and his OPS to .851. The left-handed-hitting slugger lifted a grand slam and two three-run homers to become the 17th player in the modern era with at least 10 RBI in a single game. O'Hearn was already in consideration as a waiver-wire target during his breakout campaign in 2026, and now he really is after his monstrous performance on Tuesday. He's now slashing .293/.351/.500 with 16 long balls, 61 RBI, 47 runs scored, and a stolen base in 319 plate appearances in his first season in the Steel City. O'Hearn has hit safely in eight of his last nine starts and is sizzling hot as we approach next week's All-Star break. He's rostered in only 65% of Yahoo leagues, but that number is about to rise after he went nuclear against Atlanta.

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/outfielder Ryan O'Hearn has enjoyed his first year in the Steel City and has backed up his first All-Star appearance from a year ago, slashing .285/.340/.471 with an .811 OPS, 13 home runs, 51 RBI, 41 runs scored, and a stolen base in 73 games across 300 plate appearances. He is clearly on pace to set new career highs across the board if he stays healthy in the second half. The 32-year-old veteran left-handed hitter has been hitting even better in his last 15 games, going 20-for-63 (.317) with three home runs, six doubles, 16 RBI, and 10 runs scored in 65 plate appearances. That stretch includes five multi-hit games. O'Hearn is now an everyday player, and most importantly, he's improved against same-handed pitchers, hitting .240 (18-for-75) with three of his 13 home runs against left-handed pitchers. He might be producing a bit above his skis, though, with a hard-hit rate in the 62nd percentile, an xwOBA in the 51st percentile, a barrel rate in the 31st percentile, and a chase rate in the 27th percentile. Still, you can't ignore the improvements O'Hearn has made, and he's still worth considering off the waiver wire for outfield depth.

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/outfielder Ryan O'Hearn snapped a recent power outage with a big game in Sunday's series finale in a 9-4 victory over the division-rival Cincinnati Reds at PNC Park. O'Hearn went 3-for-5 at the plate with two home runs, four RBI, three runs scored, and a strikeout to raise his average to .286 and his OPS to .821 on the year. The 32-year-old veteran left-handed slugger had a solo shot in the fifth inning off Reds starter Brady Singer before hitting a three-run bomb in the eighth inning. Before his power display on Sunday in Pittsburgh, O'Hearn had hit just one home run in his previous 16 contests. Overall in 2026, in his first year with the Bucs, O'Hearn has been a consistent offensive producer, slashing .286/.342/.479 with 13 home runs, 50 RBI, and 38 runs scored in his 284 plate appearances as an everyday player. The difference has been his improvement against same-handed pitchers, as he entered Sunday's action hitting .250 (18-for-72) with three of his 11 homers against lefties.

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/outfielder Ryan O'Hearn has been a solid part of the middle of the batting order for the Pirates and has been able to contribute solid power numbers and run production. He has 11 RBI over his last 11 games, going 15-for-48 (.313) with five doubles, a home run, and a .342 wOBA. The 32-year-old lefty has been very solid in his 67 games with the Pirates after joining them this past offseason on a two-year deal. O'Hearn is on pace to set a new career-high in homers and RBI if he stays healthy, and he can chip in solid run production for NL-only leagues or deep mixed leagues right away if you need some thump from the waiver wire.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Ryan O'Hearn led the offensive onslaught at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park in Sacramento on Wednesday night in the team's 12-4 victory over the hosting Athletics. O'Hearn went 3-for-5 at the plate with a two-run home run, a double, and a career-high six RBI to boost his season average to .290 and his OPS to .826. The 32-year-old veteran left-handed slugger took advantage of the hitter-friendly venue and drove in two runs with each of his three hits on the night. The former eighth-round selection by the Kansas City Royals in 2014 out of Sam Houston State University is now hitting a cool .290/.351/.475 with 11 home runs, 41 RBI, 33 runs scored, and one stolen base in his 60 games across 245 plate appearances in 2026 in his first year with the Pirates. In 15 games in June, he's gone 16-for-58 (.276) with three homers, two doubles, 11 RBI, and five runs scored. The key this year is that he has improved against lefties as well, going 17-for-63 (.270) against them with three of his 11 long balls.

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder/first baseman Ryan O'Hearn (quadriceps) has been activated off the 10-day injured list, per Colin Beazley of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. O'Hearn will take the roster spot of Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin (forearm), who is headed to the injured list with a flexor strain in his right forearm. O'Hearn has been on the injured list since May 17 due to a quad injury. The 32-year-old was off to a strong start to his first season in Pittsburgh before getting hurt, hitting .289/.368/.459 with seven home runs, 29 RBI, 27 runs scored, and one stolen base across 182 plate appearances. With his 44.9% hard-hit rate and 18.7% strikeout rate, O'Hearn profiles as a strong source of batting average who should continue to compile counting stats in an everyday role in the heart of the Pirates lineup.

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/outfielder Ryan O'Hearn (quadriceps) has been on the 10-day injured list since May 17 with a quadriceps injury, but he resumed working out on Monday and is worth a look as a stash candidate off the waiver wire with a potential return to the Bucs by the middle of June. The 32-year-old left-handed-hitting veteran has been solid so far in his first season in Pittsburgh, slashing .289/.368/.459 with an .827 OPS, seven home runs, 29 RBI, 27 runs scored, and a stolen base across 44 games and 182 plate appearances. O'Hearn doesn't offer significant power or run production, but it's worth noting that he could continue to play regularly in the Steel City once healthy if he can maintain his gains against same-handed pitching. Through 50 plate appearances against lefties in 2026, O'Hearn has gone 13-for-47 (.277) with one of his seven home runs and a .300 on-base percentage. He's also eligible at first base, in addition to outfield, in Yahoo leagues. For at least outfield depth in deeper mixed leagues, O'Hearn is a stash candidate and is rostered in 58% of leagues.
