Orioles GM Mike Elias said Heston Kjerstad “has earned the right” to get a lot of at-bats.
Fantasy Impact
Kjerstad is expected to get plenty of at-bats in spring training as he looks to carve out a larger role in the Orioles lineup. Baltimore has a crowded group of position players heading into the season, so that may make it tougher for him to earn a consistent opportunity.
Heston Kjerstad is in the starting lineup for the Baltimore Orioles against the Minnesota Twins Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Kjerstad will take the field for manager Brandon Hyde, patrolling left field and batting sixth against the Twins Saturday.
Heston Kjerstad went 3-for-4 with a run scored in the Orioles' 6-4 loss to the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
Despite the team's defeat, Kjerstad's performance was a bright spot as he managed to secure three hits and a walk, contributing significantly to the Orioles' offense. This game pushes his season batting average to .271 and continues to solidify his role as a reliable DH for fantasy rosters, particularly in formats. His consistent contact and ability to get on base are promising, but his limited power numbers and RBI production might cap his upside in standard leagues. Fantasy managers should consider him a viable option in deeper leagues or as a bench bat in mixed formats.
Heston Kjerstad is in the starting lineup for the Baltimore Orioles against the Detroit Tigers Saturday.

Heston Kjerstad is back in the lineup for the Baltimore Orioles against the San Francisco Giants Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
