The well-traveled 29-year-old outfielder will be on the move again after finishing the 2023 campaign with the Rays. Overall, he hit .236/.317/.338 with three homers, 13 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 169 plate appearances between the Red Sox, Brewers and Rays. If he is able to land a semi-regular role in a major league outfield for the 2024 season, he’ll maintain some fantasy value in deeper formats thanks to his ability to swipe bases.

It’s unsurprising to see Tapia jettisoned from Tampa Bay’s 40-man roster at the outset of the offseason after getting a late-season promotion to replace an injured Brandon Lowe. The 29-year-old former top prospect got into 44 big league contests this past season between the Red Sox, Brewers and Rays. He’ll likely have to settle this offseason for a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Tapia receives the call to replace an injured Brandon Lowe (knee) on Tampa Bay’s active roster ahead of Saturday’s contest against the Blue Jays, his former team. The 29-year-old outfielder signed a minor league pact with the Rays back in early August after batting .230/.308/.338 with three homers and eight steals in 158 plate appearances this season between the Brewers and Red Sox.

Tapia elected free agency after being designated for assignment by the Brewers last month. The 29-year-old has hit just .230/.308/.338 over 158 plate appearances in the majors this year, but makes for useful veteran depth.
