Osleivis Basabe Injured On Tuesday
Osleivis Basabe (head) was shaken up in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the New York Yankees after sliding head-first into third base. He had to be helped off the field and was removed from the contest early. Basabe almost certainly will be checked for a concussion and will probably be forced to miss at least a couple days in spring training. The 23-year-old Venezuelan middle infielder made his major-league debut in 2023 and looked overmatched at the plate, going 19-for-87 (.218) with a home run and 12 RBI. Even with Wander Franco's off-the-field issues heading into the 2024 season, Basabe profiles as a bottom-of-the-order utility player in Tampa this year and should be off the fantasy radar in mixed leagues.
