Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Hensley saw 94 plate appearances across 30 games for Houston in 2023 and frankly struggled as he slashed .119/.213/.167 before being sent back to Triple-A for good in August. Things didn't go much better for the 27-year-old in the minors posting a .220/.365/.356 line in 293 plate appearances with Sugar Land. After impressing in a short stint in 2022, it was a backwards step for Hensley who is likely now on the outside looking in at a roster spot in 2024. It's possible Hensley could make the team out of spring, but if he does he'll likely be limited to being a bench bat in a utility role as he's capable of playing multiple infield roles as well as corner outfield.
Hensley made his major-league debut in late August and played in only 16 games during the final six weeks of the regular season, but he took advantage of the playing time with a 1.027 OPS in 34 plate appearances. He spent most of the campaign at the Triple-A level and had a .298/.420/.478 slash line, and he should open 2023 with the big-league club. The Astros bolstered their infield with the signing of Jose Abreu, and there's not much room in the lineup for Hensley. He should operate as a bench bat but could receive more opportunities if/when injuries hit the team.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance to rejoin big-league club?
DHHouston Astros  AAA
May 23, 2023
Hensley could be in the mix to be recalled by the Astros after Jose Altuve exited Tuesday's game against the Brewers with an unspecified injury, per Chandler Rome of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Hensley was demoted last week when Altuve made his return from a fractured thumb, and a quick return to the majors appears possible. The 27-year-old Hensley struggled mightily prior to being sent down with a .403 OPS and 37.2 percent strikeout rate in 86 plate appearances, so even if called up, he's unlikely to see significant playing time.
