Rest-of-Season Projections
Headed overseas
Chang announced on his social media that he will leave the Rays' organization and enter the Chinese Professional Baseball League of Taiwan 2024 Draft, CPBL STATS reports.
ANALYSIS
The Fubon Guardians have the first pick in the draft and have evidently already informed Chang they will be selecting him. Chang had been on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Durham with an undisclosed injury, but he's nearly 100 percent and will head overseas soon. The 28-year-old is a career .204/.265/.359 hitter over parts of five major-league seasons.

Chang once again enters the 2022 campaign without a guaranteed spot in the lineup. The 26-year-old bounced between Cleveland and Triple-A Columbus last season, posting a lackluster .228/.267/.426 slash line across 251 plate appearances in the majors. He's a versatile defender capable of playing all around the infield, but his best path to playing time this season is likely a short-side platoon at either first base with Bobby Bradley or second base with Andres Gimenez. Owen Miller and Ernie Clement will also likely push Chang for a bench role for the remainder of spring training.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
May see time at short
Chang could get some playing time at shortstop with Wander Franco out with a wrist injury, reports Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.
ANALYSIS
Taylor Walls is expected to get the majority of the workload at short in Franco's absence but Chang is likely to get some playing time as well. The Rays claimed Chang off waivers last Tuesday after he was designated for assignment by the Pirates. The 26-year-old has only started six games at shortstop in his big-league career but spent the majority of his minor-league career at the position. Since being acquired by Tampa Bay, he's 2-for-7 with two starts at second base.
