2024 Fantasy Outlook
After being limited to 96 games in 2022, O'Neill's stated goal last offseason was to tailor his workouts to prevent future injury. It didn't work, as O'Neill played just 72 contests in 2023 due to back, knee and foot problems. When on the field, the 28-year-old's production sagged to just a .715 OPS and nine homers in 266 plate appearances. O'Neill's plate discipline actually trended in a positive direction for the second straight year, but his quality of contact also dropped off again so perhaps he's best off returning to the ultra aggressiveness he displayed during his breakout 2021 campaign. He was traded to Boston this offseason, which not only signals a more secure role but a major upgrade in home park factors. Durability remains a significant concern, but he should produce for fantasy managers while healthy. Read Past Outlooks
Sitting for regular-season finale
O'Neill is out of the Red Sox's lineup Sunday against the Rays, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Red Sox will start Jarren Duran, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu in the outfield for the regular-season finale. O'Neill battled multiple injuries this season, and unless he pinch hits Sunday, he'll end his first year in Boston with a slash line of .241/.336/.511, 31 home runs and 61 RBI across 473 plate appearances.

2016
After parlaying a more aggressive approach the prior year into his best season, O'Neill reverted to exhibiting more selectivity and his production suffered. Maybe it was injury-related as O'Neill dealt with shoulder, hamstring and leg issues over the course of the season. His strikeout rate decreased to a career-low 26.9%, but his average exit velocity dipped 3.2 mph and the ever-important average exit velocity on fly balls fell 4.1 mph. The litany of injuries limited O'Neill to just 96 games, though they didn't inhibit running as O'Neill stole 14 bases, one fewer than 2021 in 42 fewer games. Getting a read on O'Neill is difficult since he's displayed two different skill sets, perhaps due to injuries. As such, O'Neill remains a high-risk, high-reward option, with both health and performance questions. O'Neill's power/speed potential is enticing, but it's dangerous to chase.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Discussing reunion with Boston
The Red Sox met with O'Neill's agent, Scott Boras, on Tuesday about a possible reunion with his client, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
ANALYSIS
The Red Sox already have Jarren Duran and Wilyer Abreu cemented in their outfield and Ceddanne Rafaela as an option in center field. They also have top prospects Roman Anthony and Kristian Campbell lurking. That said, Boston wants to balance out a lefty-heavy lineup and O'Neill helps with that, with the right-handed batter having slashed .313/.430/.750 versus southpaws in 2024.
