Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Canario has seen a little time with the Cubs the last two seasons, but he's still waiting for the opportunity to seize a regular role. He appeared in 15 games last year after playing in six games in 2023, and he's posted a strong .857 OPS across 42 MLB at-bats. The 24-year-old has displayed some good offensive ability in the minors as well, including last year, when he sported an .850 OPS and popped 18 home runs across 64 games for Triple-A Omaha. The problem for Canario right now is finding his place with Chicago. He primarily plays the corner outfield spots, but that's where the Cubs have Seiya Suzuki and Ian Happ. Youngster Pete Crow-Armstrong is also seemingly locked into center for the foreseeable future, and Cody Bellinger will be back in 2025 as well to play the outfield and serve as a DH. Until Canario can supplant any of those players, his best-case scenario is serving as a reserve outfielder at the MLB level, which isn't particularly appealing to fantasy managers. However, there is some upside here in case Canario is able to secure more playing time at any point. Read Past Outlooks

Stat Review
How does Alexander Canario compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2019
A hard-hitting righty slugger with some notable flaws, Canario has one minor-league option year remaining, which will likely assure he begins the year at Triple-A. He'll enter the year eligible at UT-only in most formats, but he's a solid right fielder who could gain outfield eligibility during the season or heading into 2025. Shoulder and ankle injuries limited him to 42 games at Triple-A and the majors in 2023. His .276/.342/.524 slash line at Triple-A was above league average (111 wRC+), but his 28 percent strikeout rate was a little higher than we'd like to see from a 23-year-old bat-first player at Triple-A. He's already with his second organization (traded from San Francisco along with Caleb Kilian at the 2021 trade deadline for Kris Bryant), and he would probably benefit from another trade, as he won't be displacing Seiya Suzuki or Ian Happ. There are some similarities to Nelson Velazquez - a righty slugger who was mostly limited to short-side platoon work with the Cubs but emerged as an everyday option late last season with the rebuilding Royals.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Bound for waivers
The Mets are expected to place Canario, who is out of minor-league options, on waivers ahead of Opening Day, reports Mike Puma of the New York Post.
ANALYSIS
Canario was acquired from the Cubs after being designated for assignment in late February, and he crushed the ball in 17 spring games with three homers and a 1.030 OPS, though he also had a 34.9 percent strikeout rate. The 24-year-old's only real path to a roster spot was for New York to make a trade or have an outfielder suffer an injury during camp, but Brandon Nimmo, Juan Soto, Tyrone Taylor, Jose Siri and Jesse Winker are all still with the club and healthy. It wouldn't be surprising for another club to take a chance on Canario given his power potential, and any realistic landing spot would likely provide an improved path to playing time.
