Rest-of-Season Projections
Getting regular work at shortstop
Amaya will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Twins.
ANALYSIS
Following Chase Meidroth's promotion to the big leagues on April 11, Amaya appeared to be at risk of falling into a part-time role, but Meidroth's move to the injured list just over a week later has since reopened a regular spot in the middle infield. The White Sox aren't yet comfortable deploying Brooks Baldwin at shortstop on an everyday basis, so the more defensively savvy Amaya could end up seeing the bulk of the starts at the position while Baldwin handles more of a utility role. Most of the value Amaya brings in the field has been negated by his ineptitude at the plate, however; among the 300 MLB hitters who have logged 40 plate appearances this season heading into Wednesday's action, the 26-year-old ranks 299th with a .234 OPS.

Stat Review
How does Jacob Amaya compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Amaya made his big-league debut last summer but garnered just nine plate appearances in four games. He slashed .252/.344/.406 with 15 home runs and six steals in 128 games at Triple-A, marking the third straight year with double-digit long balls after previously showing much less pop. The 25-year-old has no guarantees but is likely to receive another look with the Marlins in 2024, especially since utility man Jon Berti represents the only real established roadblock at shortstop.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance to be claimed by Detroit?
Evan Woodbery of MLive.com suggests the Tigers could be interested in placing a waiver claim on Amaya.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Tuesday after he failed to make the club's Opening Day roster during spring training. Amaya spent most of last season at the Triple-A level and had a .252/.344/.406 slash line with 15 homers and six steals in 128 games, though he also had a brief look in the big leagues. The shortstop can also be optioned to the minors, which could spur more interest on waivers, particularly for teams like Detroit that have an open spot on the 40-man roster.
