Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper, who won the National League MVP last year, is stumping for free-agent third baseman Kris Bryant, who is one of his good friends and neighbor in Las Vegas. The Phillies have plenty of needs and also options in free agency, and Bryant can fit at either the hot corner or in the outfield. The Seattle Mariners, Colorado Rockies, San Diego Padres and New York Mets could be fits for Bryant if he isn't swayed to Philadelphia by Harper. The 30-year-old four-time All-Star and 2016 MVP hit .262/.344/.444 with seven home runs and 22 RBI in 212 plate appearances over 51 games in 2021 after being acquired in a trade with the Chicago Cubs. In total, Bryant hit .265/.353/.481 with 25 homers, 73 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 144 games.

The New York Mets, Los Angeles Angels and San Diego Padres are among many teams that are interested in signing star free-agent Kris Bryant. The Seattle Mariners, Philadelphia Phillies, Colorado Rockies and Houston Astros, among others, have also checked in. Bryant's biggest draw is his versatility, with his ability to play third base, first base and all three outfield positions. The Angels have mostly been focusing on pitching, but the thought of Bryant joining a lineup with Mike Trout and American League MVP Shohei Ohtani is very intriguing. The Astros could be looking to replace Carlos Correa in free agency. The Padres already have star third baseman Manny Machado, but Bryant could be used in their outfield. The 29-year-old Bryant made 47 starts at third base, 35 in left field, 33 in right field, 13 in center and 10 at first base in 2021.

Per a tweet from MLB Network's Jon Heyman, the Colorado Rockies are reportedly interested in free-agent third baseman Kris Bryant. Bryant hit .265 with a .353 on-base percentage, 25 home runs, and 10 stolen bases in 586 plate appearances last season for the Chicago Cubs and San Francisco Giants. Colorado's third baseman finished with a collective 72 wRC+ last season, the third-worst number in the league, so they could certainly use the help at the position. Ryan McMahon received the bulk of the starts at third base last season for the Rockies, but he can also play second base and first base.

The Seattle Mariners are among the teams interested in free-agent third baseman/outfielder Kris Bryant, according to sources familiar with the situation. The expectation, as of right now, is that Bryant will not sign before the potential Dec. 1 work stoppage. The Mariners are eying players with defensive versatility like Bryant, Kyle Schwarber and Chris Taylor, and they just traded for second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier on Saturday. Bryant, who has already won the National League Rookie of the Year and an MVP, would represent a significant offensive upgrade to a Mariners team that just missed the postseason in 2021. The 29-year-old is also a five-time All-Star and has the 17th-highest on-base percentage (.376) since his rookie season in 2015. Bryant is coming off a five-game NLDS series against the Dodgers in which he hit .471/.500/.647 with a home run in 18 plate appearances.

San Francisco Giants corner infielder/outfielder Kris Bryant wasted no time in making an impact in his first post-season game with his new team, going 3-for-3 with two singles and a solo home run in Friday's 4-0 win over the Dodgers. Bryant lined a seventh-inning, full-count Walker Buehler fastball over the left-field wall to give the Giants a 3-0 lead. The Giants' trade for Bryant has been paying dividends, and his fielding versatility and hot bat will be key to the Giants' continued post-season success.

San Francisco Giants third baseman Kris Bryant isn't in the starting lineup on Saturday for a matchup with the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Jon Gray. Bryant is batting .266 with a .354 on-base percentage, 25 home runs, and nine stolen bases in 560 plate appearances this season. San Francisco is starting Wilmer Flores at third base on Saturday. Flores is batting .257 with a .326 on-base percentage, 18 home runs, and a stolen base in 408 plate appearances this season. He's probably only worth a look as a streaming option in deeper leagues on Saturday.

Bryant has been pretty much in line with his season numbers since joining the Giants, slashing .276/.353/.500 with seven HR, 26 RBI, and five stolen bases since the beginning of August.There is no reason he should be out of fantasy managers' lineups for the rest of the season.

San Francisco Giants outfielder/third baseman Kris Bryant is getting a breather on Monday as the team faces Yu Darvish and the San Diego Padres. LaMonte Wade Jr. and Darin Ruf will be the team's corner outfielders in the game. Bryant is coming off of a pair of multi-hit efforts against his former club, the Chicago Cubs. However, he's off to a bit of a slow start to September overall. He's slashed just .250/.348/.300 over 10 games this month and he has only two extra-base hits (both doubles) so far in September. He should be back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game with his old Cubs teammate Jake Arrieta on the mound for the Padres.

He's day-to-day and should be able to avoid a stint on the injured list. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for more updates.

He was held out of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Braves, but he was available off the bench for the game.

For now, he should be considered day-to-day.

Shea reports that Bryant felt the tightness during batting practice, and he is now being replaced in the lineup by Alex Dickerson, who will start in left field and bat eighth against the Mets. Bryant was dealing with hamstring tightness over the weekend, so this should cause some mild concern for managers right now.

Manager Gabe Kapler said after the game that the team had zero concerns over it though, and that was evident based on Bryant entering the game as a pinch-hitter in the seventh inning. Bryant reached base on an error and came around to score in a 5-2 win over the Rockies. Consider him day-to-day for the moment, but it's very possible he'll be back in the starting lineup on Monday.

In 56 plate appearances for his new club, the 29-year-old is batting .294 with a .357 on-base percentage, a home run, and a pair of stolen bases.

The 30-year-old is hitting .245 with 12 home runs and a .340 on-base percentage in 215 plate appearances against right-handed pitchers this season.
