Chris Johnson

Chris Johnson who did not play in the majors in 2018 plans to meet with other major league ball clubs during the winter meetings.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson did not play in the majors in 2018. He slashed .301/.330/.506 with 10 homers in 62 games in Triple-A for the Norfolk Tides. Johnson, 34, has little to no fantasy value for 2019.

The Orioles have released infielder Chris Johnson.

Fantasy Impact

Chris Johnson was not likely to see much time with the club if the starting four infielders were healthy. The Orioles may be looking to keep a more versatile infielder who can play up the middle, while Johnson is limited to playing on the corners. Look for Johnson to try and catch on with a team who is looking for a bat coming off of the bench.

Orioles 3B Chris Johnson hit his second home run of the week on Friday. He is hitting .246 this spring with 2 HRs and 9 RBIs.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson is looking to stay with Baltimore's big league club as a utility infielder. He may make spot starts on the corners, but his fantasy value is very limited unless something such as an injury forces the Orioles to shift around their infield and insert Johnson into the lineup on a nightly basis.

Chris Johnson went 2-for-3 with a double, two walks and two runs scored in the Marlins' 10-3 victory over the Mets on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson received the start while regular first baseman Justin Bour received the day off as the Marlins faced Mets left-hander Steven Matz. He'll be filling a utility role for the Marlins this season and should receive occasional starts at first base when the team is facing left-handers. Johnson is off the fantasy radar at this point in the season.

The Miami Marlins signed infielder Chris Johnson to a one-year deal. The team will pay Johnson the major league minimum, with the Atlanta Braves still on the hook for the remainder of his salary.

Fantasy Impact

Johnson will presumably form the right handed hitting half of the first base platoon for the Marlins with Justin Bour. Johnson has had success against lefties in his career, but is not a recommended fantasy option due simply to lack of playing time. Deep league players who own Bour may want to consider adding Johnson as well, however.
