2025 Fantasy Outlook
Pellegrino completed his first season in San Jose as the club's top scorer. On the face of it that's a good sign, but when he led the way with just seven goals it's far less encouraging. San Jose made the choice to blow it up and go for a totally new look in 2025 under Bruce Arena's leadership, which could be a good sign for Pellegrino, who clearly had the talent to punish MLS defenses. With a better starting striker, Pellegrino could push for double-digit goals in 2025, though that would certainly be a surprise given his 2024 inconsistencies in production.
Struggling with injury
Pellegrino is sidelined for Wednesday's visit to Colorado Rapids due to a lower body injury, according to the MLS.
ANALYSIS
Pellegrino has been one of San Diego's major attacking pieces this season, providing a direct goal threat and the movement in behind that makes the expansion club's attack most dangerous. His lower body injury is the most significant individual absence in San Diego's week 17 report and removes one of the club's most reliable sources of creativity. A return timeline will depend on the specific nature of the lower body problem, which has not been detailed. Pellegrino has played on the left wing, a spot that could be covered by either David Vazquez or Alex Mighten.
