Colorado Rockies
2026 Fantasy Outlook
After toiling in the minors since 2019, Johnston made his major league debut when the Marlins called him up in late July. He played in 44 games over the final two months of the season, posting a 109 wRC+ while splitting time between first base and the corner outfield spots. Despite a high chase rate, Johnston's strikeout rate was slightly better than league average. Waived by Miami in early November, Johnston was quickly claimed by Colorado, where his above-average fly ball profile is a better fit than South Beach. With an opening at first base, he should have a legitimate opportunity to compete for the job, and any player receiving regular at-bats in Coors Field carries inherent fantasy upside.

Analysis
With left-hander David Peterson slated to work in bulk relief for New York, Johnston will begin Monday's contest on the bench along with fellow left-handed batters Edouard Julien and Jake McCarthy. Jordan Beck will enter the Colorado lineup in Johnston's stead, manning right field and batting sixth.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Johnston has been toiling in the Marlins organization since 2019. He spent last season with Triple-A Jacksonville, posting a 99 wRC+. His main asset is an above average contact rate, but he doesn't hit the ball hard. Johnston will turn 28 years old in June, and at 5-11, 205 pounds, more power is possible but not likely. He's exhibited the power/speed combination envied by fantasy managers, but it's unclear how his quantity and quality of contact will translate to the highest level, especially as a first baseman. The Marlins lack a proven commodity at the position, so a hot spring could propel Johnston into the mix. At best Johnston is worth tracking in the spring.
