Bryan De La Cruz's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Bryan De La Cruz went 3-for-4 in a 7-0 victory over the division rival Cincinnati Reds on Thursday. The outfielder had two doubles amongst his three hits and also drove in three runs during the contest. Since being acquired from the Miami Marlins at this years trade deadline, De La Cruz has become a fixture in the Pirates lineup. Although he has yet to hit a home run with his new club, he has still put up valuable numbers this season with Miami and Pittsburgh, where the 27-year-old has hit .244 with 18 homers and 58 RBI in 492 at-bats between both clubs. He is not a must-roster, but he is worth a look in deeper mixed leagues, where managers are seeking outfield depth.

Miami Marlins outfielder Bryan De La Cruz has been traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. Unsurprisingly, the Marlins traded De La Cruz after moving Josh Bell and Jazz Chisholm Jr. as well. The 27-year-old is putting together a strong season in 2024. He's slashing .245/.289./417 with 18 home runs and 51 RBI in 105 games with the Marlins. His slash line could be better, but his power numbers have heavily improved this season. A move to a more hitter-friendly park should help his numbers as well. In exchange for De La Cruz, the Marlins will receive right-hander Jun-Seok Shim and infielder Garret Forrester.

Miami Marlins outfielder Bryan De La Cruz put together a three-hit night in Monday's 6-4 loss to the Mets. De La Cruz went 3-for-5 with two singles, a solo home run, and a stolen base. The 27-year-old turned on a seventh-inning Jose Butto offering, depositing it into the left-field bullpen for his 17th HR of the season. De La Cruz is now slashing .242/.287/.411 with 42 runs scored, 45 RBI, and three stolen bases in 426 plate appearances. He started the season on a promising note but has failed to hit for a good average starting in May onwards. Outfield is not as strong of a fantasy position as it has been in previous seasons, but fantasy managers should still have chances to find higher-upside options at this time.
