2025 Fantasy Outlook
Helman has an interesting speed-power combo and versatility to play almost every position (he's played all but catcher in the minors), but he may not be more than utility player since he'll turn 29 next season. Helman hit 12 home runs with 14 steals at Triple-A last season with a .212 ISO. He's had a good command of the strike zone during his minor league career as well. He has outstanding speed which could make him an option in center field but likely doesn't have a good enough glove for regular duty in the infield. He'll be an intriguing fantasy option if he gets regular at-bats as he could be a late bloomer, but he'll likely be a long shot to win a utility role this spring. Read Past Outlooks
Catches on with Texas
The Rangers claimed Helman off waivers from the Pirates on Monday.
ANALYSIS
Helman will join his third organization in less than a week after the Pirates claimed him off waivers from the Cardinals last Wednesday. The 28-year-old utility player reached the big leagues for the first time with the Twins in 2024 but never saw MLB action during his stints in the St. Louis and Pittsburgh organizations. Helman will report to Triple-A Round Rock and could be an option to join the Rangers at some point later on in the season if Texas has a need for an extra infielder.
