2024 Fantasy Outlook
After being acquired from the Astros in July of 2021 in exchange for reliever Yimi Garcia, De La Cruz quickly became a prominent figure in the Marlins' offensive makeup. He debuted for Miami two days after that trade, made the Opening Day roster in 2022, and jumped into a full-on everyday role in 2023. The more at-bats he takes, though, the more it seems his trajectory might have already reached a plateau. De La Cruz possess decent raw power and can pounce on pitches in his wheelhouse, but he has proven to be a mess on anything thrown to the outer-third of the plate. He has a .301 OBP in his last 268 major-league games, and his outfield defense is already starting to look dreadful at age 27. While he should again play a lot in an improving lineup, which perhaps gives him a safe floor, there's no need to chase De La Cruz in the same wayward fashion he chases sliders. Read Past Outlooks
Power surge continues
De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Getting the start at DH and batting second, the 27-year-old took Jameson Taillon deep in the fourth inning for the Marlins' first run of the night. Unfortunately, they were already in a 7-0 hole at that point. De La Cruz has a seven-game hitting streak going, a stretch in which he's gone 10-for-29 (.345) with three of his four doubles on the season, three of his four homers and 10 of his 11 RBI. The power surge has boosted his slash line to .286/.294/.476 through 85 plate appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
De La Cruz was with the Marlins Opening Day and had a .581 OPS in 244 plate appearances before he was demoted in August. He rejoined the big club a month later and played well down the stretch with a .388/.419/.718 slash line, six home runs and 22 RBI in 25 games. In total he finished 2022 with a 104 wRC+, and the strong finish to the campaign could better his chances of earning a starting job during spring training. Avisail Garcia underperformed during his first year in Miami remains locked into right field due to his contract, but the starting spots in left and center remain wide open. Even if he's starting Opening Day, De La Cruz is a risky fantasy option at best.
