Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Call began last season in a fourth outfielder role and spent some time back in the minors late in the first half. However, between injuries and/or ineffectiveness with the Nationals' other outfielders, Call essentially had the usage of a regular even if it wasn't always consistent. The 29-year-old graded out very well defensively - mostly in center field - and ranked as an above-average baserunner, as well. However, while Call slashed a solid .252/.352/.393 against left-handed pitching, it was more than canceled out by an abysmal .171/.282/.258 line versus righties. Call is a fourth outfielder from Central Casting, but the Nats' dearth of impact outfielders could mean he's thrust into a meaningful role again. Read Past Outlooks
Sent back to minors
The Nationals optioned Call to Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
He had an .851 OPS during his seven-game stint with the big club but wasn't going to be playing much with Victor Robles (hamstring) back from the injured list. Call will see action at all three outfield spots while at Rochester.

How does Alex Call compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Role in center likely secure
Victor Robles' back injury hasn't seen notable improvement since he landed on the injured list May 8, per Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com, which likely means Call will continue to operate as Washington's primary center fielder for the foreseeable future.
ANALYSIS
Call had a decent first month of the season with a .708 OPS, but he's fallen off through 20 games in May with a .178/.241/.301 slash line. Despite the struggles, it appears the 28-year-old's role is secure for the time being, as he's now made 15 straight starts in center field.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2017
A third-round selection by the White Sox in 2016, Call was traded to Cleveland in 2018. He got his first big-league opportunity in 2022 but logged only 16 plate appearances in the majors before Cleveland moved on. The Nationals, shifting into a rebuild, brought Call in on a waiver claim and he finished with a .772 OPS and five homers in 35 games with the club down the stretch. He stole three bases following the move, though he was also caught stealing three times. Team context is always important, and in this case the situation is favorable for a player looking to prove himself as a late bloomer. The 28-year-old tentatively sits atop the depth chart in left field for Washington.
