Shogo Akiyama Makes Season Debut Friday
4 years agoCincinnati Reds outfielder Shogo Akiyama (hamstring) has been activated from the injured list and will make his season debut on Friday night against the Indians. Akiyama started off the season on the injured list after suffering a hamstring injury while running the bases during Spring Training. He's a light-hitting outfielder, slashing .245/.357/.297 in 54 games in 2020, but his biggest asset will be his speed as he was 7-for-10 in stolen base opportunities as a rookie last season. His value will be limited to NL-only or deep-mixed leagues, but for managers in those leagues that are looking for steals, he should be a decent option to target.
