Rest of Season
Signed a one-year contract with the Marlins in March of 2026.
On base three times in loss
Slater went 2-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's loss to the Tigers.
Analysis
Getting the start in right field and batting leadoff against ace left-hander Tarik Skubal, Slater did his job by getting on base and even broke up Skubal's no-hit bid in the sixth inning with a bloop into center field, but the rest of the Marlins' lineup had much less success on the day. However, Slater hasn't exactly thrived in his short-side platoon role this season, batting just .190 (4-for-21) in nine games with zero extra-base hits and a 2:8 BB:K.

Stat Review
How does Austin Slater compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
2022
2021
2020
2019
2018
Slater signed a one-year deal with the White Sox this offseason and is projected to be a right-handed option off their bench to perhaps platoon at DH or with newly signed Mike Tauchman. Slater employed his limited skill-set for three different clubs last season as he continues to be a disciplined hitter who can earn walks while also generating a high volume of strikeouts. 2021 was Slater's last true season of fantasy viability in mixed leagues, while 2022 was the last time he had value even in mono leagues. The open tryout situation in Chicago creates an opportunity for anyone who shows they can hit, so perhaps Slater can extrapolate pieces of what made him good in 2021 and 2022, and for some of 2023, and play that into some value for deeper AL-Only leagues in 2025.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Yankees interested in reunion
The Yankees have Slater "on their list" as they seek a right-handed-hitting outfielder, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Analysis
Slater went just 3-for-25 at the plate in 14 regular-season games last season after the Yankees acquired him at the trade deadline, missing a chunk of time down the stretch with a strained hamstring. However, the 33-year-old boasts a career .267/.357/.430 batting line versus left-handers, which still makes him a fit for the Yankees' bench.
