2025 Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Basabe's 2024 season was truncated by a wrist fracture that limited him to 78 games between his rehab assignment in the Complex League and Triple-A Durham. Basabe has now amassed nearly 2000 plate appearances in the minor leagues, and does have a .301 average along with a .359 OBP as he has shown strong bat to ball skills throughout the minor leagues. The challenge has been that skill has not translated to the big leagues as he looked rather overmatched when we last saw him in 2023 and the club never did promote him last season despite his return from injury in mid-July. Basabe, with a hot camp, could beat out the anemic-hitting Taylor Walls for the club's utility man off the bench but it will have to come from his bat because Basabe has yet to prove he can handle any one position defensively. He is still just 24 years old and not yet out of minor league options, but 2025 is a make or break season for the right-hander who is only shortstop eligible on draft day. Read Past Outlooks
Returns from Triple-A IL
Triple-A Durham reinstated Basabe (wrist) from the 7-day injured list Friday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Basabe has been shelved for most of this season after suffering a fractured right wrist back in mid-April, but he's ready to play for Durham again after completing a 12-game rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate, during which he posted a .945 OPS. posting a .945 OPS and a 9:1 BB:K. The 23-year-old had started games at shortstop, second base and third base with Durham before getting hurt and should go back to bouncing around the infield at the Triple-A level.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2021
Basabe amassed nearly 1,700 plate appearances in the minor leagues before his 23rd birthday while also earning his first promotion to the majors. Basabe hit .311/.369/.432 in the Tampa Bay farm system, and injuries, as well as a .296/.351/.426 line in Durham this year, earned him that promotion. Like Jonathan Aranda, that minor league success did not translate into major league success, as Basabe looked completely overmatched at the plate against major league pitching aside a grand slam off Daniel Bard in a blowout game in late August. The switch hitter is still growing into his frame and profiles as a bottom of the order utility player until such time as his skills or opportunities improve. The Rays dealt away one of the roadblocks in his way in Vidal Brujan, so it would appear Basabe would at least inherit the role Brujan had with the club in 2023. He can safely be avoided in mixed leagues for the time being given his rather limited ceiling.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Opening Day roster unlikely
Basabe appears to be a long shot to make the Rays' Opening Day roster, per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.
ANALYSIS
Basabe received his first taste of the majors last season and had a .218/.277/.320 slash line with one home run and 12 RBI in 31 games. Jose Caballero appears poised to begin the campaign as Tampa Bay's primary shortstop, with top prospect Junior Caminero seemingly next in line until Taylor Walls is recovered from hip surgery.
