Trey Sweeney DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Detroit Tigers shortstop Trey Sweeney is not in Saturday's lineup when they continue a series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Sweeney has been in the starting nine in each of the past four games. During this stretch, Sweeney has held a strong .294 AVG with a home run and six RBI. Over his last 14 contests, Sweeny has been one of the most productive hitters in the sport, as he posted an impressive .357/.362/.536 slash line with one double, three home runs, and 13 RBI. This afternoon, Zach McKinstry will get the starting nod at shortstop and will bat in the nine-hole. Fantasy managers should expect Sweeney to return to the lineup on Sunday. McKinstry and the Tigers are a viable target in DFS facing Toronto left-hander Eric Lauer, who has only served in a bulk relief role this season.

Detroit Tigers shortstop Trey Sweeney is not in Sunday's lineup when they conclude a series against the Texas Rangers on Sunday afternoon. Sweeney has become an everyday player in the Detroit starting nine and will be given a typical day off. Fantasy managers should expect the former 20th overall pick to return to the starting nine on Monday evening when they host the Boston Red Sox. This afternoon, Zach McKinstry will shift to shortstop and bat in the six-hole. Over his last 20 games, Sweeney has been very productive at the plate, holding a .275/.359/.377 slash line with one double and two home runs. However, he has generated a modest .308 xwOBA, which suggests he could face some regression later in the season. The Tigers are best to fade in DFS facing Texas right-hander Nathan Eovaldi.

Detroit Tigers shortstop Trey Sweeney had a career day on Sunday against the Los Angeles Angels. In the afternoon, he went 4-for-5 with six RBI, two runs scored, and one home run. The six RBI in a single game was a career high for him, and the four hits tied his career best. The Tigers went on to win this contest 13-1 over the Halos and left their four-game series with them taking three out of four. On the season, Sweeney improved his slash line to .234/.317/.355. Sweeney, a former first-round pick in 2021, is now on a five-game hitting streak and will look to keep that going on Tuesday as the Tigers start a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies. For now, Sweeney can be left on the waiver wire in most 10-12 team leagues, but is worth keeping an eye on as the season progresses.
