Luis Robert Jr. Still Worth Stashing in Deeper Leagues?
New York Mets outfielder Luis Robert Jr. (back) was transferred to the 60-day injured list on Wednesday, delaying his return to major league action until the end of June, at the earliest. Robert was traded to the Mets this past offseason and has continued to fall off at the plate. He has not yet returned to his 38-homer form (2023); in fact, he has posted an OPS below .700 in each of the three seasons since then. Across 24 games before landing on the IL this year, he had slugged just two home runs. The only bright spot from Robert's first month with the Mets was his K/BB ratio, as he drew walks at a 13.3% clip and struck out just 17.3% of the time. That's a step in the right direction for Robert, but it seemed to come with a drop-off in power, which is far from ideal. With that being said, he's an intriguing stash in deep fantasy leagues, as the Mets hope he can return to All-Star form once he has shaken his injury. As it stands, Robert is the #45 outfielder in RotoBaller's latest fantasy baseball rankings, and he's available to be added in 64% of leagues.
