The latest Derek Dietrich MLB and fantasy baseball news

Wed, 08 May 2013 10:43:34 -0700

Miami Marlins SS Derek Dietrich's contract has been purchased from Double-A Jacksonville. Miami is bringing up the prospect because they have placed INF Chris Valaika (wrist) on the 15-day disabled list.

Fantasy Tip: Dietrich has posted a .282/.408/.505 slash line in 28 games for the Suns this season. He has a little power and speed and makes for an interesting player to pursue in NL-only leagues, even though he's probably quite raw.

Miami Marlins SS Derek Dietrich is not in the Double-A Jacksonville Suns' lineup on Wednesday, May 8. MLB.com's Joe Frisaro speculates that the 23-year-old could be on his way to join the parent club because of it.

Fantasy Tip: The Fish acquired Dietrich in a trade for Yunel Escobar. INF Chris Valaika (wrist) may be headed to the disabled list, and 2B Donovan Solano (intercostal) is already there. The left-handed hitter has posted a .282/.408/.505 slash line in 28 games this season. He has a little power and speed and would be an interesting player to pursue in NL-only leagues, even though he's probably quite raw.

Updating previous items, the Tampa Bay Rays sent minor league INF Derek Dietrich to the Miami Marlins in exchange for SS Yunel Escobar. "Yunel is a quality Major League shortstop," said Andrew Friedman, executive vice president of baseball operations. "He's a good defender. Has occasional pop. We feel like he really helps solidify our infield defense, which should be a real strength next year."
