David Fry's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Cleveland Guardians catcher/outfielder/designated hitter David Fry (elbow) is expected to miss six to eight months after undergoing surgery to fix the UCL in his right elbow. Fry is expected to initially return as a full-time DH, as it's going to take him a full year to return to playing the field. It was an injury that he suffered way back in June, but Fry played through it the rest of the way and was a first-time All-Star in 2024 in his first full MLB campaign, slashing .263/.356/.448 with an .804 OPS, 14 home runs, 51 RBI, four stolen bases and 44 runs scored in 122 games played for Cleveland. The 28-year-old right-handed hitter was mostly the Guardians' DH in the second half of the season after his injury. However, it remains to be seen if Fry will have similar success in 2025 after coming off a pretty serious procedure. It should at least have fantasy managers hesitant to invest at his elevated cost.

Cleveland Guardians catcher/outfielder/designated hitter David Fry (elbow) is scheduled to meet with Dr. Keith Meister next week about his right elbow. Surgery could be on the table for Fry after he injured his right elbow in late June, after which he played just one game on defense (at catcher) the rest of the regular season and playoffs. If the 28-year-old requires surgery, he could be in danger of missing the start of the 2025 campaign, depending on the exact nature of the operation. The former seventh-rounder by the Milwaukee Brewers in 2018 out of Northwestern State University of Louisiana was a first-time All-Star in 2024 in his second year in the majors after slashing .263/.356/.448 with 14 homers and 51 RBI in 122 regular-season games. Fry went 8-for-28 (.286) with two homers, a double, and four runs scored in 10 games in October.

Cleveland Guardians utility man David Fry came up huge once again, hitting a walk-off two-run homer in the bottom of the 10th to give the Guardians a 7-5 victory over the New York Yankees. After some dramatics in the late innings, Fry gave Cleveland their first win of the ALCS with a moonshot off Clay Holmes. This is the second time the 28-year-old has hit a clutch homer in these playoffs, with the first coming in the ALDS against the Detroit Tigers. Fry will remain an integral part of the Guardians' offense for as long as they stay in the postseason, something that not many people would have guessed before this season.

Cleveland Guardians utility man David Fry came up with a clutch pinch-hit, two-run homer in the seventh inning of Game 4 of their ALDS matchup against the Detroit Tigers, leading the team to a 5-4 victory. It was Fry's only at-bat of the game, and he made the most of it. The homer came with the Guardians down 3-2 and probably saved their season. As a guy who can play several positions and swings a pretty solid bat, Fry will likely see the field in Game 5, whether it be starting the game or coming in as a pinch hitter.

Cleveland Guardians catcher/outfielder/designated hitter David Fry is out of the team's starting lineup on Tuesday as they go for the series sweep over the division-rival Detroit Tigers. Rookie Jhonkensy Noel will also get a day off to make way for Lane Thomas to make his debut with the club. Jose Ramirez is serving as the DH and is batting third, while Tyler Freeman starts at third and hits in the seven-hole against Tigers left-hander Tyler Holton. Fry made the All-Star squad for the first time in his career in 2024 and is having an amazing year, hitting .286/.391/.449 with an .839 OPS, eight homers, 35 RBI and four steals in 234 at-bats as the team's primary DH. He's struggled a bit since the All-Star break, though, going 13-for-60 (.217) with a double, three RBI and 17 strikeouts in 21 games played.
