Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Calhoun illustrated his potential with the Rangers in 2019 as he batted .269 with 21 home runs in just 83 games, but the juiced ball that season likely played a major role in his production. The past four years have been rough, though the 29-year-old enjoyed a bit of a rebound in 2023 with a .712 OPS and five homers in 44 games for the Yankees. He joined the Angels for 2024 on a minor-league deal and is poised to begin the season at Triple-A given their outfield depth, but given those outfielders either have troublesome injury histories (Mike Trout, Aaron Hicks, Taylor Ward) or an unproven MLB track record (Mickey Moniak, Jo Adell), Calhoun could see some run in the big leagues at some point this year.

Once an interesting prospect, Calhoun has failed to establish himself across parts of six seasons in the majors, hitting .240/.299/.404 (good for an 84 wRC+) overall. Last season, he appeared in just 22 games and hit just .135/.274/.250. The Yankees will try to get him back on track, but he hasn't given many reasons to believe a sudden improvement is on the horizon.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Making push for roster spot
Calhoun is making a push to be included on the Yankees' Opening Day roster, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
Calhoun is batting .344/.447/.500 with one home run and a 3:6 K:BB over 14 games this spring. He's also impressed the coaches with how hard he's worked on defense, an aspect of his game which has been much-maligned during his career. "He's swung the bat so great," third base and outfield coach Luis Rojas said. "And he's been so coachable. So it's definitely been a delight to work with and be around him. Everyone's pulling for him." Left field is theoretically open for the Yanks, although the team views Calhoun as a better fit for right field at Yankee Stadium, where he wouldn't have to cover as much ground. Aaron Judge could see more time in center field while Harrison Bader recovers from his oblique injury, potentially opening up more available playing time in right.
