2021 Fantasy Outlook
The Reds brought Galvis in on a waiver claim in August of 2019 with an eye toward 2020 -- he was earmarked for shortstop with Jose Iglesias leaving in free agency. He lost out on a couple starts to Kyle Farmer here and there, but Galvis was in the lineup close to every day for Cincinnati, providing most of his value on the field with his glove. Galvis lost 40 points of BA from 2019, and he's now had Statcast xBAs in the .220s two of the past three years. Despite that drop, Galvis managed to increase his OBP thanks to nearly doubling his walk rate. Galvis landed a $1.5 million contract with the Orioles in late January of 2021, so he goes from one hitter-friendly park to another, keeping him in the discussion for a bench spot in deep mixed formats.

Returns to lineup
Galvis (hip) will bat seventh and play shortstop Saturday against Detroit, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Galvis was scratched from Thursday's lineup with a sore hip, but the issue never appeared to be particularly serious. His preparation for Opening Day shouldn't be significantly affected.

Stat Review
How does Freddy Galvis compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Galvis has now been an everyday player for the past five seasons, and while he contributes across the board, he does not do any one thing particularly well. He is now two seasons removed from a double-digit steals effort, but the 23 homers and 70 RBI last season between two friendly environments in Toronto and Cincinnati were career bests for the versatile infielder. The switch hitter is a better run producer from the left side but a better tablesetter when hitting from the right side against southpaws. Everything in the advanced numbers are bearish on Galvis continuing the production from this past season, though he will remain in a friendly home park after the Reds picked up his $5.5 million club option for 2020. There's a good chance he opens the year as the Reds' starting shortstop, replacing Jose Iglesias.
