Phillies acquire Jimmy Paredes from Blue Jays

The Philadelphia Phillies acquired utility man Jimmy Paredes from the Toronto Blue Jays for cash considerations.

What It Means:

Paredes was designated for assignment by Toronto earlier this week despite posting an .886 OPS over his first 17 plate appearances. He could see a decent amount of playing time in the Philadelphia outfield and is probably worth a look in deeper fantasy leagues.

Paredes hit 10 home runs and posted a .315 wOBA in 384 plate appearances in 2015 for the Baltimore Orioles. Our models currently project him to hit .261/.323/.409 with three home runs and a .312 wOBA over the remaining course of the season.
