The Guardians optioned Will Brennan to Triple-A Columbus on Monday, per team updates, after a weekend roster shakeup altered his plans.

Brennan’s shot at a platoon role in right field fades with Nolan Jones’ weekend acquisition, pushing him to Columbus Monday for regular at-bats instead of Opening Day with the Guardians. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues should stash him, banking on his bat for a 2025 call-up to Cleveland if he performs well in the minors.

Will Brennan remains poised to join the Guardians’ Opening Day roster despite a quiet spring, per team projections. He’s notched six hits in 24 at-bats this spring, with one extra-base hit.

Brennan’s spring showing—six hits in 24 at-bats—lacks punch, mirroring his .655 and .697 OPS marks from recent years. Still, he’s set to split right field with Jhonkensy Noel, offering contact skills. Fantasy managers in deep leagues might see him as a steady, low-power option.

Will Brennan went 3-for-4 in the Guardians' 4-3 loss to the Astros, tallying two doubles and scoring twice.

This performance underscores a solid season for Brennan, who has maintained a .264 batting average through 114 games. His ability to hit for extra bases was on display, though his overall power numbers remain modest with just eight homers on the year. Brennan's low strikeout rate and reasonable BABIP (.287) suggest a level of consistency that could be valuable in deeper fantasy leagues, especially in formats that reward doubles and runs scored. However, his limited RBI production and stolen bases might cap his upside in shallower or standard formats.
