Joey Loperfido

25-Year-Old OutfielderOF
Toronto Blue Jays AAA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Loperfido began the season with Houston where he hit his way onto the roster with a .272/.365/.568 line in Triple-A Sugerland, but was overexposed both with Houston and then with Toronto as he was part of the deal that sent Kikuchi to the Astros. Loperfido has a fun collection of tools and could hit 20-plus homers or steal 20-plus bases if he could get on base more frequently. He struck out in 36.3 percent of his plate appearances, which led to an OBP more befitting a second string catcher than an outfielder with upside. It should be expected that Loperfido would compete for a corner outfield job, at least whichever one isn't given to Springer. There are other names ahead of him on the depth chart as things stand in late November, but Loperfido is more talented than the other names in the outfield, and they all have options, so nobody has that particular advantage. If Loperfido can hit well in Dunedin in March, he has an excellent chance of making the club and being a late-round fantasy value in deeper league formats, however, he needs to close some of the holes that major-league pitchers attacked with regularity in 2024.

Fails to make Opening Day roster
OFToronto Blue Jays  AAA
March 21, 2025
The Blue Jays optioned Loperfido to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Loperfido was thought to be a frontrunner to either play center field if Daulton Varsho (shoulder) wasn't ready or left field if Varsho was on the active roster, but he ultimately didn't make the cut. The 25-year-old has slashed .207/.303/.414 with no home runs and a 9:4 K:BB over 14 games this spring.

Collette Calls: 2025 AL East Bold Predictions
96 days ago
This year's bold predictions series kicks off with the Orioles and Jordan Westburg, who could be the top second baseman in a weak year for the position.
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Loperfido looks the part of a big leaguer, standing 6-foot-4, 195 pounds and showcasing above-average power and speed. The 24-year-old can play all over the diamond, seeing double-digit starts at every position except catcher, shortstop and third base. His arm is indeed the weakest part of his defensive game, but his athleticism makes him playable in the outfield and he's got enough arm for second base. He was old for every level he played at last season, so while his .296/.392/.548 slash line with 19 home runs and 20 steals in 84 games at Double-A was impressive, his run at Triple-A (.235/.333/.403 slash, 32.6 K%) was much less so. Loperfido has made a strong impression early in big-league camp, and given that he'll turn 25 in May, he could make his big-league debut this summer if there's an opening and he's performing better at Triple-A.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No trust at first base
OFHouston Astros  AAA
May 17, 2024
According to Chandler Rome of The Athletic, the Astros are "reluctant" to play Loperfido at first base.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old appeared poised to see a fair amount of action at first base after Jose Abreu was demoted at the end of April but has instead exclusively started in the outfield for Houston. Loperfido is hitting .306 through his first 12 big-league games but hasn't been a consistent presence in the lineup, and Chas McCormick's impending return from a hamstring injury won't help the situation. Jon Singleton had a brief surge after taking over for Abreu but has scuffled offensively of late, but it still doesn't appear Loperfido will be receiving a run at first base in the immediate future.
