Chase DeLauter Has Fractured Foot
7 months agoCleveland Guardians outfield prospect Chase DeLauter (foot) has a fracture in the fifth metatarsal bone of his left foot, the same one that he had surgery on last year and in college. He's scheduled to meet with the foot specialist that performed his surgery last year on Wednesday to determine the next step. The Guardians' top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, is now without a timetable to return to action at Double-A Akron, where he was hitting just .197 (12-for-61) with a homer, three RBI and a stolen base in his first 16 games this year. If the 22-year-old requires another surgery on the same foot, he'll most certainly miss extended time that will set back his development. The left-handed-hitting outfielder is still worth stashing in dynasty/keeper leagues, but he's unlikely to make his major-league debut until at least 2025.
