2024 Fantasy Outlook
Deluca got his first taste of the majors last season, slashing a respectable .262/.311/.429 with two homers, six RBI and a stolen base over a 24-game, 45-plate-appearance stint. The 25-year-old also showed well between Double-A and Triple-A with a .956 OPS, 17 homers, 53 RBI and 12 steals across 73 contests, and he's hit well in each of his minor-league stops, giving him little left to prove on the farm. It remains to be seen how well his minor-league power will translate in the big leagues, but Deluca is an exceptional athlete with a background in track (per Statcast, his sprint speed ranked in the 97th percentile last year) and an excellent glove. His ability to play all three outfield spots likely appealed to Tampa Bay when they acquired him from the Dodgers in the Tyler Glasnow trade. Deluca represents a premium short-side platoon option with the talent to expand his role if more playing time opens up. Read Past Outlooks

Taking seat Wednesday
DeLuca is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Athletics, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
DeLuca had started against right-handed pitchers in each of the last four games, but he went just 1-for-14 with one walk against five strikeouts during that stretch. He'll now take a seat Wednesday against Athletics righty Joey Estes and could see most of his opportunities versus left-handed pitching moving forward while Randy Arozarena, Jose Siri and Richie Palacios form the Rays' preferred outfield trio versus righties.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
DeLuca, a 25th round selection in 2019 out of Oregon, showed enough promise last season to earn a spot on the Dodgers' 40-man roster before reaching Triple-A. He hit .259/.347/.539 with a 16.6 K% and 10.2 BB% in 440 plate appearances across High-A and Double-A. The Dodgers say he is one of the best runners in their system, and with an 8.8 (out of 10) Spd score on FanGraphs and 17-for-19 success rate on the bases, it's safe to assume he is at least an above-average runner. His 29.4 Hard% and 18.3 Soft% were fine for an athletic player with an excellent command of the zone. DeLuca hit better against lefties (1.001 OPS) than same-handed pitching (.847 OPS), but he only struck out 17% of the time against righties and still did plenty of damage. He is heading into his age-24/25 season, so it wouldn't be surprising if DeLuca made his big-league debut, even if it's in a minor role initially.
