DJ Stewart Signs Minor-League Deal With Pittsburgh
13 seconds agoAccording to Mike Mayer of MetsMerized, outfielder DJ Stewart has signed a minor-league deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Stewart spent the past two seasons with the New York Mets after beginning his major league career with the Baltimore Orioles. Across 74 games last summer, Stewart held a .177/.325/.297 slash line with five home runs and a 31:48 BB:K ratio. In 26 games with Triple-A Syracuse, Stewart held a strong .280/.434/.451 slash line with three long balls and five stolen bases. Given his career .212/.328/.401 major-league line, fantasy managers should expect him to open the season in the minor leagues. However, Stewart has MLB experience and would likely be given a call if the Pirates need additional depth in the outfield.
