Mark Trumbo May Be In Danger Of Missing Opening Day rotoballer.com Fri 3/8/19 4:06 PM

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo, who tested his surgically repaired right knee during running drills on Friday, may not be ready to play in spring games by his original target date of March 12. "Im not trying to cram in his rehab to try to make it on that day," manager Brandon Hyde said. "I want to do whats best for him. And if that means middle of April or May, whatever it is, I want him to be 100 percent and go forward and not be 80 percent and have it nagging throughout the season."[...]

Mark Trumbo Doing Some Running Friday rotoballer.com Fri 3/8/19 12:32 PM

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo (knee) is doing some running in camp on Friday. Trumbo played in just 90 games last year before having knee surgery. The 33-year-old hit .261/.313/.452 with 17 home runs and 44 RBI in his 330 at-bats for the O's. It's been all downhill since he slugged a career-high 47 round-trippers in his first season in Baltimore in 2016. Trumbo still has a lot of power but is an injury risk on the worst team in baseball. You're better off leaving him to the waiver wi[...]

Mark Trumbo To Be Held Out Of Early Spring Games rotoballer.com Mon 2/18/19 3:43 PM

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo (knee) will not be ready to play in early spring training games, according to manager Brandon Hyde. Trumbo had knee surgery last September and hit .261/.313/.452 with 17 home runs and 44 RBI in just 90 games for the O's last year. He's two years removed from a career-high 47 long balls and 108 RBI in his first season in Baltimore, though, and Trumbo is a nice source of power if he can stay healthy. There's nothing wrong with taking a flier on him for his[...]

Outfield - Early Points League Rankings and Tiers rotoballer.com Sat 2/2/19 9:50 AM

Its never too early to start looking toward the fantasy baseball season, so Im here to continue RotoBallers position-by-position rankings analysis series for points league and head-to-head (H2H) formats with the incredibly deep outfield position. There is a seemingly neverending stream of useful bats, but there are still clear chokepoints where the risk portfolio thickens. I'd suggest buying at least two anchors and then letting your speculative plays run.Our mixed-league points staff rankings c[...]

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo (knee) started swinging again recently and plans to head to Florida early to test his surgically repaired right knee.

He played in just 90 games last year and was shut down in August before having surgery, hitting .261/.313/.452 with 17 home runs and 44 RBI. Trumbo is just two years removed from a career-high 47 homers in his first year in Baltimore. He has 30-homer power if [...]

Mark Trumbo 2019 Player Outlook: A Cheap Power Source, If He Stays ... rotoballer.com Fri 1/18/19 12:35 PM

Trumbos 47 homer, .850 OPS 2016 season seems like a lifetime ago for Orioles fans and Trumbo believers. Since then he has hit 40 home runs and posted a .710 OPS in 961 PA while plagued by injury and underperformance over the last two seasons. A balky right knee gave him trouble throughout 2018 before knocking him out in September and sending him to the operation room. Trumbo will supposedly be ready for Opening Day, but its fair to ask whether hes even capable of solid production when healthy.Hi[...]
