Albert Almora Jr. Gets Sent To Club’s Alternate Training Site
Albert Almora Jr. was optioned off of the active roster Monday to make way for Cameron Maybin, who was acquired from Detroit. Once a highly-regarded prospect, Almora has become primarily a defensive replacement in 2020, receiving just 34 plate appearances in 28 games. While Ian Happ had already claimed full-time center field duties, the removal of Almora from the mix reinforces his unimpeded path to at-bats. Whether a change of scenery is in store for Almora remains to be seen, but it’s likely his best path to reestablishing fantasy relevance.
