Heston Kjerstad

Kjerstad spent time between Baltimore and Triple-A Norfolk until fatigue put him on the IL in July, and he never returned to playing. It was announced after the season that Kjerstad was receiving medical attention for a medical issue, but nothing more definitive than that. Kjerstad's career has been sidetracked by medical issues since he came out of the University of Arkansas, but his 2023 season where he hit .303/.376/.528 with 21 homers and 87 runs scored is still fresh in minds of deeper fantasy league managers. Hopefully this recent medical issue is something very treatable and not serious so this young man can get back to playing baseball. He will very likely be back in Norfolk to begin 2026 with the crowded 26-man active roster after the additions of Taylor Ward, Pete Alonso, and Leody Taveras. Read Past Outlooks
