2024 Fantasy Outlook
The best skill Kennedy has shown during his time in the minors has been his ability to draw a walk, as he drew free passes at a 16.4 percent rate in 2023 at the Triple-A level and boasts a 12.6 percent walk rate over six seasons on the farm. He did club 22 home runs and stole 16 bases between the High- and Double-A levels in 2021, but both of those numbers look like clear outliers in his career. Kennedy did very little in spot duty with the Diamondbacks the last two seasons and then jumped to the Oakland and St. Louis organizations via waivers. The 25-year-old is part of a crowded competition for a reserve infielder role but seems likely to report to Triple-A Memphis to begin the 2024 campaign. Read Past Outlooks
Optioned to Triple-A
The Tigers optioned Kennedy to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Kennedy was claimed off waivers in late February and wasn't able to push for an Opening Day roster spot. The infielder will likely bounce between second and third base while at Toledo.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not to be overshadowed
Kennedy was sent to the minors Friday but on the heels of a stellar spring training. Kennedy slashed .424/.525/.606 in 40 plate appearances.
ANALYSIS
Much of the attention throughout Arizona's spring training has gone to young phenom Corbin Carroll, but Kennedy did his fair share of booming. Kennedy posted a less inspiring .217/.287./.325 slash across 94 plate appearances last season, but the 24-year-old is likely to factor into the Diamondbacks' plans sooner rather than later. It's a surprisingly crowded infield depth chart in Arizona, however, so his exact usage remains to be determined.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Kennedy looked to be working his way into being a decent prospect in 2021 when he posted a .907 OPS with 22 home runs and 16 stolen bases between the High- and Double-A levels as a 22-year-old. He regressed in 2022, though, both during his time at Triple-A and a brief run in the big leagues, leading to him losing his spot on the 40-man roster this offseason. Hailing from the same high school as Mike Trout, Kennedy offers a little versatility and speed but seems destined to be a fantasy afterthought even if he gets another chance.
