Fantasy Baseball Shake-Up: Is Yu Darvish’s Return a Game-Changer and Colt Keith’s Rise No Fluke?
Zack Gelof – 2B, ATH: 8% rostered
(RETURN FROM IL, POWER/SPEED UPSIDE)
This is all about upside. Gelof fractured his hamate bone in the spring and then had a rib injury during his rehab assignment, which delayed his return even more. He struggled a bit last year and is just 2-for-25 to start the season this year, but we should expect rust given how long he’s been out this year. He was really good as a rookie in 2023 and came into the year with 31 home runs and 29 steals in 209 career MLB games, so there is enough power and speed here to excite us a bit. The batting average will likely not be good, but remember that he plays in a minor league ballpark now that is heating up in the summer, and the ball is flying. In deeper formats, I’d still stash on my bench for another week or two.
