Dirks (back) remains in minor-league camp as he continues to recover from a back injury that cost him all of the 2014 season. Dirks was signed in January in hopes of being able to help contribute at bats against right handed pitching, but is recovering slowly from the injuries that held him out of the entire 2014 season. Dirks had a fairly strong season in 2013, hitting .256 with nine home runs and 37 RBI in 131 games, but without a single major league at bat in 2014 and an extended stint in minor league camp, coupled with Michael Saunders' expedited return from a knee injury leaves Dirks on the outside looking in when it comes to playing time. Dirks has limited fantasy value even when healthy and with this back injury, his value only plummets from there.
