Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Fry began the 2024 season as a short-side platoon bat for manager Stephen Vogt but started to earn some reps against right-handers, too, after sporting a 1.114 OPS through the first two months of the season. He ultimately did most of his damage versus left-handed pitching (.996 OPS, nine home runs), although Fry did smack a walk-off home run against righty reliever Clay Holmes in the ALCS. The 29-year-old played much of the year with a UCL tear in his right elbow and had surgery after the season. The operation will sideline Fry for the first month or two of the season and will prevent him from playing the field until 2026. Fry will have catcher, first base and outfield eligibility in 2025, so he could have some fantasy value once he's recovered. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Guardians in March of 2025.
Nasal surgery scheduled
Fry will undergo surgery Tuesday to repair nasal fractures, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Fry suffered nasal and facial fractures when he was hit by a 99 mph fastball thrown by Tarik Skubal back on Sept. 24. He's expected to be fully recovered by early-to mid-November, so Fry should have a fairly typical offseason.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Fry was called up for the first time in his career in May of 2023, slashing .238/.319./.416 across 113 plate appearances. Fry is a backup option at best with limited fantasy appeal, though he does show some pop at the dish with a .178 ISO and 36.6% Hard Hit Rate in his limited major league experience. The 28-year-old may find himself back in the minors in 2024 as Cleveland signed veteran Austin Hedges to backup Bo Naylor ahead of the new campaign making him an avoid for fantasy managers even in multi-catcher formats.
