25-Year-Old OutfielderOF
Toronto Blue Jays
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.

Loperfido is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins.
ANALYSIS
Loperfido is idle for the third time in seven games, giving way to Jonatan Clase in center field Friday. While Loperfido's playing time in center has been slipping, he's gotten a couple of looks in left field over the last four games.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No trust at first base
OFHouston Astros
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.
