Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander (knee) said his left knee is fine after getting hit by a pitch in Grapefruit League action on Monday, and X-rays also came back negative. He will return to the team's spring lineup on Wednesday. The 28-year-old is officially considered day-to-day with a bruised knee. Santander had a career-high 33 home runs, 89 RBI and 78 runs scored in 647 plate appearances and 152 games for the Orioles in his sixth season with the team in 2022. On an improving Orioles roster, Santander has a very interesting power profile for fantasy managers in a hitter-friendly ballpark.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Anthony Santander (knee) left the Grapefruit League game early on Monday after he was hit in the left knee/shin area by a pitch in the sixth inning. Santander was able to get up and walk off the field under his own power, but he will not finish the game. He's officially being listed as day-to-day with a knee contusion. The 28-year-old could miss some spring training games this week, but it doesn't sound like an injury that could jeopardize his readiness for Opening Day in late March. Santander set career-highs in home runs (33), RBI (89) and runs scored (78) in 2022 while slashing .240/.318/.455 in a career-high 152 games. He was much better at home and from the right side of the plate as a switch-hitter. Santander is a very interesting power target in fantasy drafts in an improved Baltimore lineup.

The 28-year-old should add some pop to their lineup as he did for the O's in 2022, slashing .240/.318/.455 with 33 home runs and 89 RBI. Santander logged career-highs in both HR and RBI hitting in a more competitive lineup, and he should be a fantasy asset once again in 2023.
