The Royals have traded third baseman Kelvin Gutierrez to the Orioles in exchange for cash considerations.

Fantasy Impact

Kansas City is suddenly the league's supplier of minor league infield depth as of late as they traded Alcides Escobar to the Nationals on Friday and Gutierrez to the Orioles on Saturday. The latter was designated for assignment on June 28th and was slashing .215/.254/.296 in the majors. He was also 11-for-36 through nine games at the Triple-A level. The 26-year-old has been assigned to the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate in Norfolk.

Kelvin Gutierrez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a triple in Saturday's 11-2 loss to the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact

Gutierrez was the lone bright spot in the Royals offense in Saturday’s loss. He blasted a two-run shot off Jesus Luzardo in the top of the eighth inning to put the Royals on the scoreboard. He’s starting to wield a hot bat and is currently on a four-game hitting streak. Gutierrez is a speculative add in 12 teams or more league formats after slashing .258/.266/.366 with one home run, eight RBI, and eight runs scored across 94 plate appearances in 2021.

Kelvin Gutierrez went 2-for-4 with two RBI during Thursday’s 6-1 win over the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact
