Austin Hedges

The Guardians re-signed Austin Hedges on a one-year deal.

Fantasy Impact

Hedges will continue to hold depth behind the plate for Cleveland. He hit .152 with two home runs last season.

Austin Hedges went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Guardians' 6-4 victory over the White Sox.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included a solo home run, contributing significantly to the team's win. Despite this flash of power, Hedges's season has been underwhelming, with a batting average lingering at .160 and only his second home run of the year. His low wOBA of .201 and high strikeout rate of .333 continue to limit his fantasy relevance. While the home run might excite some, Hedges remains a risky play in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues or those that heavily favor defensive metrics.
