2023 Fantasy Outlook
Last year saw Luis Arraez surprise many with his hitting prowess at the plate that helped them, and Minnesota, gloss over his defensive struggles in the field. Aranda is that same story, but at the minor league level. Since graduating from the lower levels of the minors, he has hit .330 in High-A, .325 in Double-A, and .318 in Triple-A over the course of nearly 900 plate appearances with over a .400 OBP. Simply put, the young man can hit and he does so to all fields. He does not have Arraez's same incredible contact rate, but he does share the defensive challenges in that Aranda does not have a full-time defensive home. He lacks the range a modern day second baseman needs with the shift rules in place and he is not terribly quick either. The crowded depth chart in Tampa Bay with many players currently out of options could have Aranda right back in Durham if the club does not trade him first to a club more forgiving of his defensive shortcomings.

Sent to Triple-A
The Rays optioned Aranda to Triple-A Durham on Monday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
With Opening Day right around the corner Thursday, Aranda is one of the final major-league roster cut for the Rays this spring. The 24-year-old batted .192 with one homer, five RBI and two runs scored over 26 at-bats during spring training, failing to impress enough to crack the big-league roster. Considering his positional flexibility and prior experience in the MLB from last season, Aranda seems like a top candidate to earn a call-up early this year.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Aranda was 62 percent better than the average Double-A hitter and 70 percent better than the average High-A hitter during his breakout age-23 season. His exploits earned him a spot on the Rays' 40-man roster this offseason. While at Double-A, he played 48 games at first base, 17 games at second base and 10 games at third base. It will be his bat that earns him a look either this year or next, as he hit .330/.418/.543 with an 18.5 K% on the season. His 25.2 LD% and 39.0 FB% at Double-A were particularly encouraging marks. At 5-foot-10, 173 pounds, Aranda looks more like a second baseman than a first baseman, but it's just a matter of getting his left-handed bat in the lineup somewhere, so he will also likely get starts at designated hitter. He should spend most of the year at Triple-A.
