2026 Fantasy Outlook
Aranda was well into a breakout season until it was broken up on July 31 when he collided with the human statue that is Giancarlo Stanton on a tag play at first base due to an errant throw fracturing his wrist. Aranda did not return until the final weekend of the season and promptly homered in two of those three games to end the season. As it were, he finished the season where he had left off in 2024, and if you lump in that late 2024 work into what he did last season, you get a .306/.383/.492 triple-slash line with 19 homers, 69 runs and 69 RBI in 507 plate appearances. Simply put, Aranda can hit, especially righties, as he wore them out to a .329/.398/.531 tune last season with 10 of his 14 homers coming on the road. Aranda held his own against lefties, but does not hit with as much power there. He does not provide the home run numbers fantasy managers want from first base, but his strong average and solid contributions in run production help make him easier to roster. He should once again hit high in the Rays' lineup when a righty is on the mound. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Rays in March of 2025.

Stat Review
How does Jonathan Aranda 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
Aranda's 2024 was a potpourri of events. He had a fantastic spring but broke a finger near the end of it and that short-circuited his start to the season. He made it to the major league roster in May when the Rays were dealing with injuries but went back down in early June and wasn't seen again until the end of August. His time in Triple-A Durham was unlike his previous season as an oblique strain there limited his playing time and his ability to hit for power. Even more concerning was that he lost his contact abilities, with a career-worst 32.6 percent strikeout rate. The only true upside to his season was how he closed it, as he showed some surprising pop down the stretch with five doubles and five homers after his final promotion. Most of his batted ball metrics trended in a positive direction as the season closed, and the temporary home for the Rays in 2025 should be a good fit for Aranda. He is out of options, so he is a lock to make the team as long as he isn't traded in the offseason. The 1B-only eligibility makes him truly only draftable in the draft-and-hold formats or deeper mono-league formats, but there are enough late signs of growth from him for managers to remain intrigued for 2025.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Extra year of team control
According to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, the Rays were granted a fourth option year for Aranda.
Analysis
The 26-year-old utilized his three minor-league options in each of the past three seasons, but the organization was granted another year, potentially due to the finger and oblique injuries that sidelined him for much of 2024. Aranda had a .738 OPS in 44 games last year and is poised to see regular plate appearances between first base and designated hitter in 2025.
