2024 Fantasy Outlook
The carpet was laid out for Mitchell last spring. He had secured a regular role in the Milwaukee outfield and was coming off a strong first cup of major-league coffee in 2022. Unfortunately, though, he suffered significant damage to the labrum in his left shoulder in the 18th game of the 2023 regular season and required a surgical procedure that kept him out until late September. Mitchell was then left off the Brewers' roster for their Wild Card Series matchup against the Diamondbacks, and his standing within the organization was even further clouded by the record eight-year, $82 million contract doled out to top outfield prospect Jackson Chourio in early December. Mitchell has great speed and a mature plate approach, but he'll need steady playing time to make it count. Chourio now projects to be the Opening Day center fielder, with Christian Yelich and Sal Frelick flanking him in the corners. Fourth outfielders don't usually carry fantasy relevance.

Shifts to 60-day IL
The Brewers transferred Mitchell (finger) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.
ANALYSIS
GM Matt Arnold recently said Mitchell is expected to return around the start of June, so the move to the 60-day IL won't affect his return timeline from a fractured finger. Sal Frelick and Blake Perkins should continue to split playing time in center field for Milwaukee in the meantime.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could miss rest of season
Mitchell is dealing with a left shoulder subluxation and might need surgery, which could cause him to miss the rest of the season, according to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
ANALYSIS
Brewers manager Craig Counsell said Mitchell's MRI revealed significant damage, and while the outfielder will seek a second opinion, surgery remains on the table. That would cause him to miss the rest of the year. Between his debut last season and the start of this year, he's been in 44 major-league contests so far, hitting .286 with five home runs and a .803 OPS while striking out in 40 percent of his plate appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
It was a tale of three seasons for Mitchell. The 6-foot-3 center fielder was dreadful for his first 29 games at Double-A, logging a .676 OPS and 32.3 K% before suffering an oblique injury. He returned in mid-July and tallied a .356/.419/.515 slash line with three home runs, 10 steals and a 20.3 K% in 34 games between Double-A and Triple-A. The big difference seemed to be that Mitchell reverted to his approach from UCLA, where he was working more as a table setter than someone who was regularly looking to put his plus raw power to use in games. Milwaukee diverted from their attempts to unlock that power in games and just let him be the most effective version of himself. That approach earned him a late-season call-up. In the majors, Mitchell's 41.2 K% and .548 BABIP scream regression, but he nonetheless managed to be worth a full win above replacement while hitting .311 with two home runs and eight steals in 28 games. The Brewers have an uncertain outfield depth chart, but Mitchell should be given a chance to win the starting center field job in spring training.
