Injury Status: Healthy
by Keith Hernandez
Cleveland Guardians rookie outfielder Chase DeLauter (wrist) is starting in right field and batting third for the Guardians on Friday against the visiting Athletics and right-hander Mason Barnett, per MLB.com. DeLauter has missed some time in recent weeks with a sprained right wrist, but he is back in action to begin the weekend series against the A's after missing each of the last two games on Tuesday and Wednesday against the division-rival Chicago White Sox. The 24-year-old former first-rounder has been money for Cleveland in his first year in the big leagues in 2026, slashing .289/.362/.453 with an .815 OPS, 14 home runs, 62 RBI, 57 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases across his 464 at-bats. DeLauter has only gone deep three times in 45 second-half games, but he has hit lefties well and is coming off a month of August in which he slashed .363/.440/.538 with a .977 OPS, two homers, and nine RBI in 22 games played. If his wrist injury does not impact him the rest of the way, DeLauter will be looking to put a bow on a strong first year in the bigs.

FANTASY OUTLOOK
Chase DeLauter 2026 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Plenty of Upside if he can Stay Healthy
It felt like deja vu for Chase DeLauter last season as he yet again flashed his notable upside in between multiple trips to the IL. In just 42 games, DeLauter slashed .264/.379/.473 with eight doubles, seven home runs, and as many walks as strikeouts (24). Under the hood is even more impressive. On top of his 15.8% walk and 15.8% strikeout rates, DeLauter recorded a read more...
It felt like deja vu for Chase DeLauter last season as he yet again flashed his notable upside in between multiple trips to the IL. In just 42 games, DeLauter slashed .264/.379/.473 with eight doubles, seven home runs, and as many walks as strikeouts (24). Under the hood is even more impressive. On top of his 15.8% walk and 15.8% strikeout rates, DeLauter recorded a 83.3% zone contact rate, 81.1% overall contact rate, 51.9% hard-hit rate, and a 12.5% barrel rate. DeLauter has a blend of contact, approach, and power that few prospects can match or exceed, and even though he didn't run much last season, there's above-average speed here as well. It all boils down to the health and how many plate appearances DeLauter can rack up this season. If the health is there, DeLauter could wind up as one of the most valuable fantasy rookies of the 2026 season.less...
