Tyler O'Neill Fantasy Stats

According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, the Boston Red Sox did not give outfielder Tyler O'Neill a qualifying offer, making him a free agent. O'Neill enjoyed a nice bounce-back campaign in last summer in Boston as he posted a solid .241/.336/.511 slash line with 31 home runs, 61 RBI, and four stolen bases. In the previous two campaigns, O'Neill hit just 23 long balls with a .229 AVG. Even though the 29-year-old missed time with numerous injuries this season, he was an elite fantasy contributor from a power perspective. Under the hood, his 17.3% barrel rate and 48.8% hard-hit rate suggest his power numbers should remain elite in 2025 if he can stay on the field. The former third-round pick remains a safe bet for power upside but will always be a risky asset, given his lengthy injury history.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill is not in the starting lineup on Sunday as the Red Sox wrap up their 2024 season with a divisional match against the Tampa Bay Rays. As a result, Jarren Duran will shift to left field which opens up right field for Wilyer Abreu and center field for Ceddanne Rafaela. O'Neill exceeded expectations in his first season in Boston as he sits with a strong .241/.336/.511 line with 31 home runs and four swiped bags. O'Neill fell just three home runs short of tying his career-high of 34 he posted in the 2021 campaign. Under the hood, the 29-year-old boasted a stellar 17.3% barrel rate and 48.8% hard-hit rate. DFS players should fade Boston hitters this afternoon as they will face Tampa Bay right hander Ryan Pepiot.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup on Monday against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays and right-hander Chris Bassitt at Rogers Centre. A back injury caused O'Neill to rest for both contests during Sunday's doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins, but he's back in action to start the series opener against the Jays to begin the final week of the 2024 regular season. The left-handed-hitting Masataka Yoshida will begin the game on the bench. O'Neill has gone hitless in his last four games and is hitting under the Mendoza Line with 25 strikeouts in 72 plate appearances in 17 games in September, but he has managed to clear the fences six times while driving in 11. DFS managers may want to avoid him, though, as he's hitting .083 with a .250 OPS in 12 career at-bats against Bassitt.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill (back) is dealing with back tightness and will be kept out of the starting nine in the first game of a doubleheader against the Minnesota Twins on Sunday afternoon. Manager Alex Cora did express that O'Neill could be ready to play in the night cap. Fantasy managers should consider the 29-year-old day-to-day for the time being. Seeing that the injury does not seem serious, O'Neill should start most games during the final week of the season. During his first season in Boston, O'Neill exceeded all expectations by posting a solid .244/.338/.521 line with 31 home runs and four stolen bases. O'Neill should be locked into all fantasy lineups when he returns to game action.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill logged his only hit of the ball game when it mattered most, blasting a three-run home run in the bottom of the 10th inning, securing a 5-3 win over the Orioles on Wednesday in walk-off fashion. The Orioles had taken a one-run lead in the top of the 10th and the Red Sox were down to their final two outs before O'Neill walked to the plate. It was the 29-year-old's fifth home run in his last five games and 30th of the season in 372 at-bats. That's a 44-homer pace if he could muster even 550 at-bats, but staying on the field has kept him from reaching his ceiling on a seemingly annual basis. Even still, the slugger has a .258/.349/.546 slashline with a .377 wOBA and 142 wRC+ on the season and will look to finish the campaign strong and healthy.

Boston Red Sox outfielder/designated hitter Tyler O'Neill continued his second-half power surge in Monday's 12-3 win over the Orioles. O'Neill went 3-for-5 with a double, a pair of solo home runs, three RBI, and a strikeout. The 29-year-old went back-to-back with Rob Refsnyder off Cade Povich in the third inning and then again off Cole Irvin in the eighth inning. O'Neill has provided power throughout the season with 29 HR, but he has really gotten things going in the second half. He now owns a .360/.448/.880 slash line with four HR and six RBI in 25 September at-bats. O'Neill could give fantasy managers an extra lineup boost down the stretch, particularly if the Red Sox continue to hit better as a team overall.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill homered twice in a 7-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox Saturday evening. The veteran hit his first home run off Garrett Crochet in the first inning, and the second off reliever Enyel De Los Santos in the fifth. O'Neill knocked in three runs and also scored three runs. On the season, he is hitting .258 with 27 home runs, 53 RBI, four stolen bases and 67 runs scored. That's also three home runs in the last seven games. O'Neill is a good power source at this late season stage. He will look to continue his hot hitting in the series finale tomorrow against the White Sox.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill (finger) is returning to the lineup on Sunday afternoon. The outfielder missed the past two games due to left finger inflammation but has been cleared to return to game action. The 29-year-old will get the nod in left field and bat in the five-hole. O'Neill has been in a bit of a slump since the start of the month, holding a disappointing .167 AVG, which is a stark contrast to the .302 AVG he boasted in July. Fantasy managers should look to get the hard-hitting bat back in their lineup this afternoon. O'Neill is worth a look in DFS this afternoon as well, as he will face Arizona right-hander Merrill Kelly, who surrendered six runs in his previous start.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill (finger) remains out of the starting lineup on Saturday against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Fenway Park. O'Neill was scratched from the series-opening loss on Friday due to inflammation in his finger and will now miss a second straight game. Fantasy managers should consider the 29-year-old to be day-to-day and check back on Sunday to see if he's feeling good enough to play. Rob Refsnyder will make another start in left field and will bat fifth for the BoSox against Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen. Refsnyder, who has very little power, is usually only worth recommending as a DFS sleeper when he's higher up in the batting order and facing a left-handed pitcher. The 33-year-old South Korean has hit .280 (37-for-132) with three of his nine home runs on the season against righties. The matchup alone against Gallen suggests to avoid Refsnyder.

Boston Red Sox outfielder Tyler O'Neill (finger) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The organization said that O'Neill was pulled from the lineup due to finger inflammation. It sounds like a minor issue, so fantasy managers should consider O'Neill as day-to-day. In his place, Rob Refsnyder will cover left field and bat fifth versus right-hander Ryne Nelson. Refsnyder has surprisingly been solid with the bat this season. He's hitting .294 with eight home runs and 33 RBI in 78 games this season. He's worth a look as a low-end streaming option until O'Neill is back in the mix.
