Jonathan Ornelas To Begin Season At Triple-A
29 seconds agoTexas Rangers infielder Jonathan Ornelas was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday. Ornelas was competing for a depth role in the Texas infield but will begin the campaign at the top level of the minor leagues. Across the past two seasons, Ornelas has appeared in just 26 contests in the major leagues. Last summer, across 18 contests in Texas, the 24-year-old held a .215/.256/.270 slash line. He tallied just eight hits and only two went for extra-bases. During his brief stint in the majors, Ornelas was valuable from a defensive standpoint as he made starts at second base, third base, shortstop, and the outfield. In 88 games with Triple-A, Ornelas held a .251/.322/.326 line with 10 doubles and three long balls. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should expect him to return to the majors later in the season but will only carry minimal fantasy value given his lack of offensive upside.
