Joey Wiemer DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

According to Robert Murray of FanSided, the Kansas City Royals are acquiring Joey Wiemer from the Cincinnati Reds. Wiemer is an additional asset in the trade that sent Jonathan India to Kansas City and Brady Singer to Cincinnati. Wiemer was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the fourth round of the 2020 MLB Draft but struggled in his brief taste of the majors. Across two seasons in the big leagues, the outfielder posted an underwhelming .201/.279/.349 line. Wiemer was then acquired by the Reds last summer but made only two appearances with them. Across the minor leagues, the 25-year-old posted a solid .259/.359/.454 line with 52 home runs across 324 games. Fantasy managers should monitor Wiemer's progression during Spring Training in deeper formats as he could have a chance to make the Opening Day Roster.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Joey Wiemer (knee) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. The young outfielder was forced to miss 16 days due to left knee soreness. He wasn't playing too well before the injury but figures to at least play in a platoon role going forward. Wiemer will cover center field and bat ninth versus lefty Ryan Weathers on Monday.

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Joey Wiemer (knee) is looking at missing multiple weeks of action after suffering an injury earlier in the week. The young outfielder was placed on the 10-day injured list after hurting his knee on Friday. The organization has given a timetable of two or three weeks for Wiemer. This is good news as Wiemer will avoid surgery and only miss a few weeks of action. Jackson Chourio, Blake Perkins, and Sal Frelick figure to all see increased playing time while Wiemer and Christian Yelich (back) recover.
