Randy Arozarena's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena will bat second in the order in his Mariners debut on Saturday night against the Chicago White Sox. Arozarena was acquired via trade by the Mariners late on Thursday night. He'll face off against White Sox starter Erick Fedde, who he has only seen once in his career and is 0-1 against. With injuries to two key parts of the Mariners' lineup (J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez) Arozarena will be asked to carry a heavy load until they are back. With a .318 wOBA and a .338 xwOBA during his time in Tampa, the 29-year-old is due for positive regression. Fantasy managers should not hesitate to keep the right-hander active in their lineup as he should see positive results coming his way shortly.

Newly acquired outfielder Randy Arozarena is expected to report to the Seattle Mariners to make his debut with the team on Saturday on the road in Chicago against the White Sox and right-hander Erick Fedde. In an effort to boost their struggling offense, especially after losing both outfielder Julio Rodriguez (ankle) and shortstop J.P. Crawford (finger) to injuries this week, the Mariners acquired Arozarena from the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night in exchange for outfield prospect Aidan Smith, pitching prospect Brody Hopkins and a player to be named later. Arozarena, was having a pretty disappointing season in Tampa before the trade, hitting just .211 (74-for-350) but with 15 homers, 37 RBI and 16 stolen bases. The Cuban outfielder has picked things up in July, though, going 19-for-69 (.275) with four homers, seven doubles, nine RBI and six steals in 19 games, so the M's are hoping he can keep that up now that he'll be joining their roster.

The Seattle Mariners have acquired outfielder Randy Arozarena from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for outfield prospect Aidan Smith, pitching prospect Brody Hopkins, and a player to be named later. Smith is the Mariners' 12th ranked prospect according to MLB Pipeline, while Hopkins ranks 22nd in their system. Arozarena should provide an immediate boost to a Mariners lineup that is in desperate need of it. The 29-year-old is having a down year, but he has been good since June, hitting .290 with seven homers and nine steals. His fantasy value shouldn't change much going from Tampa to Seattle, but he remains a must-start outfielder in all formats.

The Los Angeles Dodgers are hoping to add an impact bat in the outfield prior to the trade deadline next Tuesday, July 30, and they "are in on Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena," according to a source. Arozarena is having a down year overall in 2024 but has heated up since the beginning of June. Entering play on Tuesday, he had a .906 OPS with seven home runs since June 1 and has been looking more like the player who won American League Rookie of the Year honors in 2021 and an All-Star selection last year. The 29-year-old is earning $8.1 million in 2024 and is arbitration-eligible for two more years. Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. is also drawing interest from the Dodgers. He's signed for $15 million in 2025 with $20 million club options for both 2026 and 2027. The asking price on Robert is quite high.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena homered twice while knocking in three runs in a 9-1 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday. The veteran is now hitting .212 with 14 home runs, 34 RBI, 14 stolen bases and 41 runs scored in 388 plate appearances. His first homer came off starter Nestor Cortes, and his second homer was off reliever Josh Maciejewski. Arozarena finished the day with four hits and two runs scored as well. If Tampa is to make a push for a playoff berth, they will need the veteran Arozarena to hit better in the second half.
