The Twins signed Ty France to a one-year contract.

Fantasy Impact

France spent last season with the Mariners before he was traded to the Reds. He will compete in spring training to open the season as the Twins starting first baseman.

Ty France has elected free agency after being sent outright to Triple-A Louisville.

Fantasy Impact

France decided to head to the open market as opposed to accepting the assignment to Triple-A. He hit .234 with a .670 OPS between the Mariners and Reds last season.

Ty France went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in the Reds' 7-1 victory over the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included a walk and a strikeout, contributing significantly to the team's win. Despite a somewhat modest season with a .241 batting average and 13 home runs, France's ability to drive in runs (51 RBI) remains a key asset for fantasy managers. His consistent power, evidenced by his 24 doubles and 13 homers, provides some value, especially in deeper leagues. However, his high strikeout rate (110 strikeouts) and low batting average could be a concern for those in average-focused formats. Moving forward, France should be considered a situational play, depending on matchups and league depth.

Ty France went 2-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Reds' 1-0 win over the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

Delivering the game's only run with his solo shot, France's performance was a bright spot in what has been a somewhat average season for him. With a batting average of .246 and 12 homers over 119 games, his power numbers are modest but can provide occasional boosts in fantasy lineups. His .315 wOBA indicates a decent ability to create runs, though his high strikeout rate and low walk rate limit his on-base potential. Fantasy managers should view France as a situational player, best utilized when matchups are favorable.

Ty France is in the starting lineup for the Reds Thursday.

Fantasy Impact

France will start at first base and bat sixth in the series finale with Oakland. He is hitting .231, with 11 home runs, and 40 RBI this season.
