Rest-of-Season Projections
Inks minors deal with Detroit
Mercado signed a minor-league contract with the Tigers on Friday, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Mercado has yet to appear in the majors this season, though he slashed .226/.307/.425 with 11 homers and 42 RBI across 307 plate appearances with the Padres' Triple-A affiliate before being released at the beginning of August. He'll presumably report to Triple-A Toledo, where he'll serve as organizational depth in the outfield.

Many of the job battles in the NL West involve Rockies pitchers you want no part of, but whoever wins the Padres' closer role could return plenty of fantasy value.
Which players are rising up draft boards this spring, and which players are tumbling down?
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
Make no mistake about it; 2020 was a disaster for Mercado. He was a colossal bust in fantasy, slashing .111/.167/.111 with one stolen base in his first 17 games before being optioned off Cleveland's active roster. It did not get much better for him following his return to the big-league team a few weeks later and Mercado ended up logging just one at-bat in the postseason. He was a perfect 3-for-3 on the basepaths and the speed should keep him on your radar. He swiped 15 bags in 2019 while playing in just 115 games and he chipped in 15 HR in his debut as well, although baseline power expectations are tough to nail down with a player like Mercado given the ball's varying liveliness from year to year. He should get a chance to show he can rebound, and his leash should be longer in a longer season. If he can't trim his strikeout rate back down and produce, Mercado could transition to a fourth-outfielder role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Claimed by Phillies
Mercado has been claimed off waivers by Philadelphia and he will be activated Tuesday, reports Matt Gelb of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Mercado was designated for assignment by Cleveland last Tuesday after producing a .202/.227/.377 batting line in 49 games. The 27-year-old has primarily appeared in the corner outfield spots this season but does have experience in center field as well. With Bryce Harper going on the injured list with a broken thumb, the addition of Mercado may allow Nick Castellanos and Kyle Schwarber to spend more time as the designated hitter while also shoring up the outfield defense for Philadelphia.
