2023 Fantasy Outlook
Has the ship sailed for Olivares? He was up and down between Triple-A and the majors so much in 2021 they made a rule to restrict the number of times a player can be optioned in a given season. It appeared he might finally get a long look in 2022, but Olivares was in and out of the lineup before landing on the injured list with a right quadriceps strain. He later strained his left quad, necessitating another trip to the IL. All told, Olivares played in 53 games for the Royals last season, batting a healthy .286 with four homers and two steals across 174 plate appearances. He has legitimate pop and has stolen as many as 35 bases in the minor leagues. Plus, the outfielder is still just entering his age-27 season. That being said, it's difficult to tell where he stands in the organization right now. Both Dayton Moore and Mike Matheny are gone, but that does not necessarily mean Olivares will be turned loose in an everyday role. Read Past Outlooks
Heads to bench Monday
Olivares is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Even though Olivares came up big in Sunday's 3-2 win with a game-tying 452-foot home run that damaged the scoreboard at Kauffman Stadium, he won't be rewarded with a second consecutive start as the Royals open a series with St. Louis. Olivares still looks to be the Royals' preferred option in left field, though his playing time may be less consistent than some of Kansas City's other lineup regulars.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Olivares broke camp with the Royals as a reserve outfielder, but playing time is likely to be scarce to begin with. The 26-year-old impressed with a .313/.397/.559 slash line in 66 games with Triple-A Omaha last season. He wasn't able to translate that success to the big leagues, where he hit .238/.291/.406 in 39 games. There's still room for him to grow, but getting a foot in the door for playing time figures to be his biggest challenge. Olivares has a good speed tool, notching at 47 steals in 193 games at the upper levels of the minors -- he'll likely be called upon as a pinch runner regularly in 2022.
