16 seconds agoAccording to C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic, infielder Christian Encarnacion-Strand is expected to see time at third base during spring training. Last season, the 25-year-old was only able to appear in 29 contests due to hand and wrist injuries. During this limited stint, he was unproductive as he posted an underwhelming .190/.220/.292 line with just two home runs. During the 2023 season, Encarnacion-Strand posted a .270/.328/.477 line with 13 long balls during his first 63 games of MLB action. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Encarnacion-Strand's progression during spring training as the team will explore other ways to keep him in the lineup. However, he has primarily played first base during his time in the major leagues. Given the upside power he showed as a rookie, he could be worth a look as a high-upside pick late in drafts if he performs well in spring training.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller
