Fantasy Impact

Bent spent last season with the Royals and Giants. He will depth in the minors for Arizona.

Matt Beaty is back in the starting lineup Wednesday night versus the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact

Beaty didn't appear in Tuesday's 6-3 defeat but will return on Wednesday, hitting sixth and manning first base. The lefty-swinging Beaty hasn't seen a ton of action but is hitting a solid .271 with a 10.7% BB% and a .729 OPS across 56 plate appearances with the Royals this season.

The Kansas City Royals have traded infielder/outfielder Matt Beaty to the San Francisco Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Beaty seemingly became a numbers casualty in Royals camp as he had himself a fine spring, hitting .343 with two homers, four doubles, and a 1.007 OPS across 35 at-bats. The 29-year-old appeared in just 20 games with the Padres last season but hit .270 with a quality .765 OPS across 120 games with the Dodgers in the 2021 season. Beaty could be a quality left-handed bench bat for the Giants in 2023.

San Diego Padres utility man Matt Beaty (shoulder) was placed on the 10-day IL Monday afternoon which is retroactive to May 8th.

Fantasy Impact

Beaty has been placed on the 10-day IL on Monday due to a left shoulder impingement, and in a corresponding move the Padres transferred teammate Pierce Johnson to the 60-day IL.

The San Diego Padres announced that they have acquired 1B/OF Matt Beaty from the Dodgers for INF River Ryan. The Padres also moved LHP Drew Pomeranz to the 60-day IL to make room for Beaty on the 40-man roster.

Fantasy Impact

Beaty most likely won't be an everyday player for the Padres, but his versatility may lead him to more at-bats, especially while the Padres are without Fernando Tatis. Beaty had a .270/.363/.402 slash line in 234 plate appearances in 2021.
