Kemp Alderman Returns From IL, Re-Emerging as Top Outfielder to Stash
Miami Marlins outfield prospect Kemp Alderman (wrist) has returned from the seven-day injured list and is back in action with the Triple-A Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, the team announced on Tuesday. Alderman, 23, landed on the IL back on May 24 after fracturing his left wrist when he collided with a baserunner at first base. The former second-round pick in 2023 out of the University of Mississippi was hitting an impressive .303/.376/.526 with a .903 OPS, nine home runs, 23 RBI, 29 runs scored, and five stolen bases in 40 games and 170 plate appearances with Jacksonville before missing time with his wrist injury. Now that Alderman is back in action on the arm, fantasy managers in deeper leagues may want to consider adding the right-handed-hitting outfielder. Per MLB Pipeline, Alderman is Miami's No. 9 prospect. The 6-foot-3, 235-pounder is a power over hit prospect who will need to cut down on his chase rate at the plate if he wants to succeed immediately at the major-league level whenever he's called up. If he continues to swing the bat well, a second-half call-up to the Fish is entirely possible.
