Robert Hassell III Getting Called Up for MLB Debut
Robert Hassell III is being recalled from Triple-A Rochester for what will be his MLB debut. Unfortunately, this move is a result of Dylan Crews' back/side injury he suffered on Tuesday night and because Jacob Young is dealing with a shoulder injury that's kept him out of the lineup the past couple days, but Hassell III now gets a shot to make good on being a first-round selection (eighth overall) in the 2020 MLB Draft. The left-handed slugger was performing decently at Triple-A, slashing .277/.327/.384 with four home runs, nine stolen bases, and registering a 19.9 percent K% through 42 games. The stolen bases and first-round pedigree are intriguing, but without a ton of power and not likely to hit for a high average in his first taste of the majors, the 23-year-old is probably only worth a look for fantasy in very deep and NL-only leagues.
