Rest-of-Season Projections

Moved to minors camp
The Mets reassigned Ortega to minor-league camp Tuesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Ortega signed with the Mets and received a camp invite in November, but he's officially bound for the minors after starting Grapefruit League play 1-for-8. The 33-year-old outfielder will likely spend most of the season in Triple-A Syracuse as organizational depth.

If every pitcher in the majors was right-handed, Ortega would be a pretty enticing fantasy asset. Unfortunately, there are plenty of southpaws around, and Ortega hasn't had a ton of success against them. Since 2020, his OPS against righties is .790, but his OPS against lefties is just .452. Not surprisingly, the Cubs limited Ortega's exposure against lefties during his time with the club. Last year, the outfielder appeared in 118 games and recorded 316 at-bats. His .241/.331/.358 slash line was ultimately disappointing, as it was down across the board from a promising 2021. Ortega also tallied seven home runs and, for the second straight season, stole 12 bases. The Cubs decided not to tender Ortega a contract after the season, and he joined the Yankees as a non-roster invitee. New York's depth in center field isn't great behind Harrison Bader, but Ortega is still likely an injury away from seeing a roster spot, let alone regular playing time.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

In the mix
Ortega is a candidate to round out the Yankees' Opening Day outfield roster contingent, shares Pete Caldera of NorthJersey.com.
ANALYSIS
Ortega is among the more seasoned options New York has. The 31-year-old made 97 outfield starts for the Cubs last season, grading as a positive defender while slashing .241/.331/.358. He could have an edge over right-handed competition, as his lefty bat would offset the likes of Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Gleyber Torres and DJ LeMahieu.
