Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
It was a tale of two seasons for De La Cruz in 2024. He maintained a decent .707 OPS with the Marlins while serving as a near everyday corner outfielder. However, after he was dealt to Pittsburgh at the trade deadline, he managed just a .514 OPS across 168 plate appearances and ultimately became a part-time player. That led to him being non-tendered this offseason, though he quickly signed a minor-league deal in Atlanta. Depending on the health of Ronald Acuna, De La Cruz could begin the season as an option in right field, though it appears that the most likely outcome is that he serves on the small side of a platoon with Jarred Kelenic. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with Atlanta in December of 2024. Waived by Atlanta in May of 2025. Claimed off waivers by the Yankees in May of 2025.
On taxi squad for now
De La Cruz has been added to the Yankees' taxi squad, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Initial reports suggested that De La Cruz would take Trent Grisham's (hamstring) spot on the active roster, but Grisham is not going on the 10-day injured list at this point. De La Cruz will be with the team on the taxi squad in case a transaction with Grisham is eventually required. The 27-year-old has slashed .250/.329/.421 with seven homers in 43 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
After being acquired from the Astros in July of 2021 in exchange for reliever Yimi Garcia, De La Cruz quickly became a prominent figure in the Marlins' offensive makeup. He debuted for Miami two days after that trade, made the Opening Day roster in 2022, and jumped into a full-on everyday role in 2023. The more at-bats he takes, though, the more it seems his trajectory might have already reached a plateau. De La Cruz possess decent raw power and can pounce on pitches in his wheelhouse, but he has proven to be a mess on anything thrown to the outer-third of the plate. He has a .301 OBP in his last 268 major-league games, and his outfield defense is already starting to look dreadful at age 27. While he should again play a lot in an improving lineup, which perhaps gives him a safe floor, there's no need to chase De La Cruz in the same wayward fashion he chases sliders.
