Milwaukee Brewers AAA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Dunn received his first taste of the majors in 2024 and had a .221/.282/.316 slash line in 41 games before he was demoted to Triple-A Nashville and missed the rest of the season due to a back injury. He struck out at a 38.5 percent clip, which is a continuation of his swing-and-miss tendencies in the minors. The Brewers have a major infield hole to fill this winter following the departure of Willy Adames, which should result in Joey Ortiz moving to shortstop. Dunn could see some playing time at the hot corner, but Milwaukee will likely be looking for an upgrade at third base and won't want him filling a regular role throughout the season.

April 17, 2025
The Brewers optioned Dunn to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Dunn has started at third base all 11 times the Brewers have faced a right-handed pitcher this season, but he'll head back to the minors after slashing just .167/.205/.222 across 41 plate appearances. The Brewers have not announced a corresponding roster move, but they could recall Caleb Durbin from Nashville to take over as their primary option at the hot corner.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Dunn was a minor-league Rule 5 pick prior to the 2023 season and showed enough in his one year in the Phillies' organization that he's on a 40-man roster a year later, albeit not with Philadelphia, who sent him to Milwaukee in November. Dunn hit .271/.396/.506 with 21 homers and 16 steals in 119 games last season, though plenty of caveats apply to impressive numbers by a 25-year-old at the Double-A level. Dunn also struck out 27.5% of the time, continuing a theme which had seen him strike out 28.6% of the time during his three seasons in the Yankees' organization. He's also a below-average defender at second base who doesn't have the arm for third, so his path to the majors requires him to hit his way there rather than survive as a glove-first utility man. His Breakout Player of the Year at the Arizona Fall League indicates he's trending in the right direction, and the likes of Owen Miller and Andruw Monasterio won't provide the stiffest competition for at-bats. Still, skepticism is warranted, as you won't find many minor-leagues with his combination of age and whiffs who went on to have success at the highest level.
