Previewing The 2023-24 Free Agent Class: Corner Outfield

Throughout the week, we’ve covered the upcoming free agent class at MLBTR. We move today to the outfield. Teams often use left and right fielders interchangeably, so we’ll combine them into a single corner outfield group. It’s not a great class but is arguably among the stronger options in a light market for position players.…

Whit Merrifield Returns To Blue Jays Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays infielder/outfielder Whit Merrifield (groin) is playing left field and batting fifth for the team on Wednesday against the visiting Texas Rangers and left-hander Jordan Montgomery. Merrifield is back in action for the Jays after missing the last two games with groin tightness. The 34-year-old veteran super utilityman has struggled at the plate of late, so fantasy managers may want to keep him benched until he snaps out of his slump. In nine games (eight starts) so far in September, he's gone 7-for-34 (.206) with a double, four RBI, five strikeouts, a stolen base and three runs scored. Against southpaws in 2023, Merrifield has gone 35-for-124 (.282) with three of his 11 home runs. Merrifield continues to be valuable in fantasy for his positional versatility and his speed (25 steals).

Whit Merrifield Posts Three Hits, Swipes A Bag In Win

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman/outfielder Whit Merrifield went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI, one run scored, and a stolen base in Friday's 13-9 victory over the Colorado Rockies. The 34-year-old ended August on a low note, hitting just 8-for-54 in his previous 13 games, so this was a promising sight. Merrifield notably singled and stole second base during the second inning before doubling in a seventh-inning run. The three-time All-Star's 2022 post-trade deadline resurgence after joining the Jays has carried over into 2023, batting .290 (139-for-480) with 11 home runs, 25 doubles, 59 RBI, and 25 stolen bases. Fantasy managers hope Merrifield works his way back up Toronto's lineup, and Friday's effort should only aid that cause.

Merrifield will likely come in as a pinch-hitter at some point on Saturday. The veteran 34-year-old is slashing .291/.344/.398 with six home runs, 42 RBI, and 20 stolen bases over 327 at-bats on the season.
