Wed Dec 20 202321:43Jesus Aguilar Heads To Japan
Free-agent first baseman Jesus Aguilar signed an undisclosed one-year deal with the Seibu Lions of Nippon Professional Baseball on Wednesday. After 10 years in the big leagues, the 33-year-old veteran Venezuelan right-handed slugger will take his talents to Japan. He was released by the Oakland Athletics in June after hitting a weak .221/.281/.385 with five home runs, two doubles, nine RBI and eight runs scored in 36 games played. Aguilar later played with Triple-A Gwinnett in the Atlanta Braves organization but never made it to the big-league level. The height of his slugging powers came in 2018 when he made the All-Star team for the only time in his career by batting .274 (135-for-492) with a career-high 35 home runs and 108 RBI for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Wed Jun 14 202322:17Braves Sign Jesus Aguilar To Minor-League Deal
The Atlanta Braves signed free-agent first baseman Jesus Aguilar to a minor-league deal on Tuesday. The Oakland Athletics released Aguilar in early June after he hit just .221 (23-for-104) with two doubles, five home runs, nine RBI and eight runs scored in 36 games for them to begin the year. The 32-year-old right-handed slugger will most likely report to Triple-A Gwinnett, where he will serve as organizational first-base depth. As long as Matt Olson remains healthy at the big-league level, the Braves probably won't have much use for Aguilar. He was an All-Star back in 2018 with the Milwaukee Brewers when he hit 35 home runs and drove in 108 runs, but he hasn't come close to producing similar numbers since.

Mon May 29 202312:31A's Designate Jesus Aguilar For Assignment
The Oakland Athletics designated first baseman/designated hitter Jesus Aguilar for assignment on Monday, according to sources. Aguilar gets the boot off the team's 40-man roster after hitting .221 (23-for-104) with two doubles, five home runs and nine RBI in 36 games played. He had walked eight times and struck out 31 times in 115 trips to the plate. The 32-year-old veteran slugger could latch on elsewhere, though, as an option against left-handed pitching. Against southpaws so far in 2023, Aguilar hit .280 with four home runs and eight RBI in 50 at-bats. He can continue to go ignored in mixed fantasy leagues, though.

Mon May 1 202312:36Jesus Aguilar Hits Fifth Home Run Sunday
Oakland Athletics first baseman Jesus Aguilar went 2-for-4 with his fifth home run of the season, two RBI, a run scored and a strikeout in the team's 5-4 win over the visiting Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. While there isn't much fantasy upside from a counting-stats perspective with A's hitters, Aguilar has been solid in the early going in his first year in Oakland. The 32-year-old veteran Venezuelan slugger is batting .270 (20-for-74) with two doubles, five home runs, nine RBI and seven runs scored in 82 plate appearances and 23 games, although he also has 21 strikeouts and only five walks. Aguilar has six multi-hit games in the early going.

Fri Jan 27 202318:36Jesus Aguilar To Split Time At First Base, DH
Oakland Athletics general manager David Forst said he expects the newly signed Jesus Aguilar to split his time in 2023 at first base and designated hitter in an everyday role, similar to what he was doing last year with the Miami Marlins and Baltimore Orioles. The 32-year-old right-handed slugger spent most of his time with the Fish (113 games) and finished with a .235/.281/.379 slash line, .661 OPS, 16 home runs, 51 RBI, 39 runs scored and a stolen base in 507 plate appearances over 129 combined games. Aguilar still has some pop in his bat, but he'll provide little else while moving to a weak lineup in one of the most pitcher-friendly home ballparks in baseball. He can be avoided in shallow mixed leagues.

Tue Jan 24 202314:14A's Agree To Contract With Jesus Aguilar
The Oakland Athletics have reportedly agreed to a deal with first baseman Jesus Aguilar, per a tweet from FanSided's Robert Murray on Tuesday. Murray tweeted the following: "Free-agent first baseman Jesus Aguilar and the Oakland A's are in agreement on a contract, pending physical, according to a source familiar with the deal. First to report a deal was close: @susanslusser." Aguilar previously split the 2022 season with the Miami Marlins and Baltimore Orioles, hitting .235 with a .281 on-base percentage, 16 home runs, and a stolen base in 507 plate appearances. He'll give the A's another option at first base alongside the likes of Dermis Garcia and Seth Brown.

Wed Aug 31 202214:42Orioles Sign Jesus Aguilar To Minor League Deal
The Baltimore Orioles reportedly signed veteran first baseman Jesus Aguilar to a minor league deal on Wednesday, per a tweet from MASN's Roch Kubatko. Kubatko also noted in his tweet that Aguilar is joining Baltimore's major league taxi squad on Wednesday, so there's a good chance he'll join the big-league club when rosters expand on Thursday. The 32-year-old previously made 456 plate appearances for the Miami Marlins this season, hitting .236 with a .286 on-base percentage, 15 home runs and a stolen base. He'll provide the O's with some additional depth at both first base and designated hitter.

Fri Aug 26 202216:11Garrett Cooper Reinstated, Jesus Aguilar DFA'd
The Miami Marlins reinstated first baseman/outfielder Garrett Cooper (concussion) from the seven-day concussion injured list on Friday and designated first baseman Jesus Aguilar for assignment in a corresponding move. Cooper is back at first base and is hitting fifth on Friday against Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Tyler Anderson. The 31-year-old should be a regular for Miami down the stretch, and he'll return to a .269/.345/.415 line with seven home runs, 42 RBI and 28 runs scored in his 323 at-bats this year. Aguilar has mostly played every day for the Fish in 2022 and was hitting .236/.286/.388 with 15 long balls, 49 RBI, 37 runs scored and a stolen base in 415 at-bats. The 32-year-old right-handed slugger will be hoping to latch on with a contender before the end of the year.

Thu Jul 14 202218:09Jesus Aguilar Reaches Base Twice Thursday
Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar singled and walked in four at-bats on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. He also scored the winning run in the bottom of the 11th inning. Besides his stellar 2018, Aguilar has been a pretty mediocre fantasy player, and that's continued in 2022. Over 80 games, he's hitting .248 with a .699 OPS, 11 HRs, 32 runs, 37 RBI, and one stolen base. It's easy to find this skillset on the waiver wire, so if fantasy managers need to open up a roster spot, Aguilar isn't a terrible player to drop.

Wed May 11 202214:53Jesus Aguilar Isn't Starting On Wednesday
Miami Marlins first baseman and designated hitter Jesus Aguilar is on the bench on Wednesday. The Marlins will take on the Arizona Diamondbacks and right-handed starter Merrill Kelly but will do so without Aguilar in the lineup. The veteran is batting .260 with a .339 on-base percentage and three home runs in 121 plate appearances this season. Garrett Cooper is starting at first base against the Diamondbacks and is batting second while Jorge Soler gets the start at designated hitter. Soler is hitting third.

Tue Apr 5 202218:28Jesus Aguilar Reaches Deal To Avoid Arbitration
The Miami Marlins have reached a deal with first baseman Jesus Aguilar to avoid arbitration. The club is signing Aguilar to a $7.5 million deal that pays $7.3 million this upcoming season and includes a $200K mutual option buyout for the following season. The 31-year-old was one of the Marlins' best hitters last season. Over 131 games, he slashed .261/.329/.459 with 22 home runs, 93 RBI and 49 runs. The addition of Jorge Soler and the growth of young players such as Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Jesus Sanchez should help give Aguilar better support in the lineup this season.

Wed Sep 15 202115:50Jesus Aguilar Likely Done For The Year
Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar (knee) is not expected to be able to return to the field this season. Aguilar was placed on the injured list last week, and it seems like he will simply run out of time and won't be able to return before the end of the season. The big first baseman ends his season with 22 home runs, 93 RBI, and a .788 OPS. He put up 1.3 fWAR in 131 games and could be back with the Marlins next season. The 31-year-old is under team control until 2023.

Wed Sep 8 202116:51Jesus Aguilar Lands On The Injured List
Miami Marlins first baseman Jesus Aguilar (knee) was placed on the 10-day injured list due to inflammation in his left knee. Aguilar was not in the lineup for Tuesday's game, but it seems a day of rest did not do nearly enough, as now he'll get to rest for over a week. Aguilar has been a consistent run producer for the Marlins despite an offense that routinely struggles. The big first baseman has a .788 OPS, 22 home runs, and 93 RBI. Lewin Diaz has been called up and slides right into the lineup for Wednesday's game. He should see most of the starts at first base while Aguilar recovers.

Sun Jul 11 202121:29Altuve's 3-run homer in 9th caps Astros' rally past Yankees
HOUSTON (AP) — Jose Altuve hit a three-run homer to cap a startling six-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning, getting his jersey yanked off in a frenzied celebration and lifting the Houston Astros over the New York Yankees 8-7 on Sunday. The Astros had been shut out by the Yankees the previous two games, highlighted by ace Gerrit Cole’s three-hitter in a 4-0 win on Saturday night. The win came on Altuve replica jersey giveaway at Minute Maid Park — Houston fans left with a No. 27 shirt, while the All-Star second baseman exited without his. New York led 7-2 after a three-run homer by Gary Sanchez in the eighth inning. After the first two Astros reached base against Domingo Germán in the ninth, Chas McCormick hit a two-run double off Chad Green (3-5). Abraham Toro followed with an RBI double to make it 7-5, still with no outs. Pinch-hitter Jason Castro singled and one out later, Altuve launched his soaring shot to left field. Ralph Garza Jr. (1-2) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings for... [More]
Mon Jun 7 202102:44LEADING OFF: Voth hurt, Nats manager worries about more
A look at what's happening around the majors today: STICKY SITUATION Nationals reliever Austin Voth was sent to a Philadelphia hospital to get his nose reset after it was broken when he was hit by a pitch while squaring around to bunt. Voth was hurt Sunday in a 12-6 loss to the Phillies. Hit by a pitch from Vince Velasquez, Voth exited with a towel covering a gash across his nose after the ball appeared to deflect off the bill of his batting helmet. Washington manager Dave Martinez warned such injuries might become more frequent if Major League Baseball follows through on plans to crack down on pitchers using foreign substances to maintain a better grip on the baseball. “I hate to bring it up, but you will see more of that if we keep messing around with the stuff about the balls,” Martinez said. “I mean, really. They’ve been trying to clean some stuff up. But it’s hot, it’s slippery, guys are sweaty. “I know that Velasquez didn’t throw intentionally. But I’m afraid that if we don’t come... [More]
