Joey Meneses Returning to Majors, Worth a Deep-League Pickup?
According to Martín Gallegos of MLB.com, the Athletics are calling up first baseman/outfielder Joey Meneses from Triple-A Las Vegas. The 34-year-old earned another major-league opportunity by batting .348 with a .944 OPS, 11 home runs, 20 doubles, and 76 RBI across 69 games at Triple-A. Meneses has produced in the majors before, most notably when he hit .324 with 13 home runs and 34 RBI over 56 games for the Washington Nationals in 2022. Brent Rooker's absence creates a potential path to at-bats at designated hitter or in the corner spots, although Nick Kurtz's presence at first base leaves Meneses without a guaranteed everyday role. His Pacific Coast League production should also be viewed cautiously until he proves it against major-league pitching. Completely un-rostered at 0% on Yahoo, Meneses is worth a speculative pickup in AL-only and deeper redraft leagues for managers seeking power and RBI help.
