2025 Fantasy Outlook

Helman has an interesting speed-power combo and versatility to play almost every position (he's played all but catcher in the minors), but he may not be more than utility player since he'll turn 29 next season. Helman hit 12 home runs with 14 steals at Triple-A last season with a .212 ISO. He's had a good command of the strike zone during his minor league career as well. He has outstanding speed which could make him an option in center field but likely doesn't have a good enough glove for regular duty in the infield. He'll be an intriguing fantasy option if he gets regular at-bats as he could be a late bloomer, but he'll likely be a long shot to win a utility role this spring. Read Past Outlooks

Helman went 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Monday's 10-6 extra-innings loss to the Orioles.

Analysis
Helman earned his first start of the season in center field, covering for the absence of Evan Carter (personal), who is set to rejoin the Rangers on Wednesday. Helman was able to get aboard with a walk in the seventh, then stole second and came around to score after Gary Sanchez's attempt to throw him out went into the outfield, followed by Sanchez bobbling the return throw home. Helman's been up with the Rangers since Friday, appearing in two games, but his playing time will likely remain limited once the team is closer to full strength again. He'll likely get most of his starts against left-handed pitchers, and Helman could be the one to lose his roster spot once Wyatt Langford (oblique) is ready to return.
