Rest-of-Season Projections
Dirks was released by the Blue Jays on Thursday, Tony Paul of the Detroit News reports.
ANALYSIS
Dirks was brought on board in January, but he continues to battle a back injury, which has prevented him from seeing the field thus far in 2015. After appearing in 131 games for the Tigers in 2013, Dirks played in just 14 minor league contests in 2014. He's only 29 years old, but he'll need to prove he's capable of staying healthy before returning to the majors becomes a real possibility.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2015
2014
2013
2012
Dirks was expected to be on the plentiful side of an outfield platoon for the Tigers in 2014, but lingering back and hamstring injuries ended up limiting the 29-year-old to 14 appearances at various minor-league levels. While he was able to play most of the 2013 campaign, lingering knee issues limited his productivity, so it’s worth monitoring his health. When healthy, Dirks has shown the ability to be a decent platoon option in the outfield. As would be expected, the left-handed swinging veteran has been better against right-handed pitching, hitting .278/.333/.428 with 17 homers and 13 steals in 790 at-bats. He’s expected to be fully recovered from the back and hamstring issues prior to spring training. Dirks was snatched up off waivers by Toronto in November. The Blue Jays will most likely add to their outfield during the offseason, but Dirks is an option to share a starting role, or he could be used as a backup bat off the bench.
