Jose Barrero DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

St. Louis Cardinals shortstop/outfielder Jose Barrero had a solid game at the plate in Monday's 6-3 win over the Pirates. The 27-year-old went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, three RBI, and two strikeouts. Barrero turned on a third-inning Carmen Mlodzinski fastball, landing it into the left-field bullpen for his first homer of the season and first as a Cardinal. Barrero only has 14 plate appearances with the Cardinals but took advantage of the opportunity with Masyn Winn (ankle) out of the lineup with a left ankle sprain. Despite the strong game, he is slashing just .231/.286/.538 with a 35.7% strikeout rate and had not played in the big leagues since 2023.
