Rest-of-Season Projections
Nabs MiLB deal from Bucs
Celestino agreed to a minor-league deal with the Pirates on Monday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.
ANALYSIS
The deal presumably includes an invitation to big-league spring training, where Celestino could get the chance to compete for a reserve outfield spot on the Pirates' Opening Day roster. The 24-year-old possesses a decent amount of speed and is regarded as a solid defender, but he owns an underwhelming .222/.292/.300 slash line over 409 career MLB plate appearances. He didn't see any action in the majors in 2023, as he opened the season on the Twins' injured list after requiring surgery in March to address a torn UCL in his left thumb and remained in the minors once he was cleared for game action in late May.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2017
Celestino logged a career-high 347 plate appearance as Minnesota's top defensive option in center field after Byron Buxton. Celestino at first looked like a capable understudy for the oft-injured Buxton by hitting .288 with a .696 OPS through June. He faded in the second half amid more playing time, hitting .201 with a .557 OPS. While he walks at a decent rate (9.2%), he doesn't have the elite walk or contact rates (75.2%) needed to overcome a complete lack of power. Celestino ranked in the 19th percentile in hard hit rate and 18th percent in average exit velocity, per Statcast, and had just a .065 ISO. While he's fast, his 65th percentile Sprint Speed rate per Baseball Savant isn't elite and neither is his defense (0.5 UZR/150 in CF). He'll compete for a reserve outfield role again this spring, but he'll have a hard time finding regular at-bats with his current skill set.
