Toronto Blue Jays
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Roden came into 2024 with a stellar track record of hitting for contact and working high walk rates without ever logging an ISO over .150. He brought the same excellent contact skill (83.4 Contact%) and patience (12.1 BB%) across stops at Double-A and Triple-A while hitting 16 home runs in 125 games and slugging .473 with a 31.4 percent hard-hit rate. Roden slashed .314/.406/.510 with nine home runs, eight steals and a 14.3 percent strikeout rate in 71 games at Triple-A while seeing time in all three outfield spots, but primarily the corners. Given his track record of getting on base (career .407 OBP in the minors), Roden just needs to hit for 20-homer power to provide enough value to be in the lineup most days, even as a left fielder. He's not known for being a great athlete and his 38 steals over the past two seasons were mostly the product of good reads while being on first base a lot. He's not on the 40-man roster yet, but Roden doesn't have anything left to prove at Triple-A, so it's just a matter of awaiting his chance. Read Past Outlooks

April 2, 2025
Roden is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
ANALYSIS
After starting in each of the last three games while going 4-for-10 with a double, a run and an RBI, Roden will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed batter Will Wagner as the Nationals send southpaw MacKenzie Gore to the hill. Davis Schneider will check in for Roden in left field and will bat seventh.
