2026 Fantasy Outlook
Fermin has put up an OPS over .900 each of the last two seasons at Triple-A Memphis and offers positional versatility with the ability to play everywhere but first base and catcher. And yet, even on a Cardinals team lacking offense and going through a rebuild, he's found his opportunities with the big club few and far between. The 27-year-old's batted-ball data in his brief chances in the majors has been lackluster, as he's yet to connect on a single barrel in three seasons. What Fermin excels in is plate discipline, as he boasts a 10 percent walk rate and 13.8 percent strikeout rate in the majors and a ridiculous 14.6 percent walk rate and 8.8 percent strikeout rate the last two years at Memphis. Fermin could surprise if he finds his way into the lineup regularly, but the latter doesn't seem likely even as St. Louis continued its roster churn over the winter. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Cardinals in March of 2026.
Sitting in third straight game
Fermin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.
Analysis
Fermin is on the bench for a third straight game and looks like he'll be ticketed for a short-side platoon role in the St. Louis infield. The Cardinals have been prioritizing Bryan Torres, Thomas Saggese and Nolan Gorman ahead of Fermin against right-handed pitching while all of Masyn Winn (thumb), JJ Wetherholt (wrist) and Blaze Jordan (ankle) are on the injured list.

Stat Review
How does Jose Fermin 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
The Cardinals were searching for offensive help in every corner of their roster last season, but even with that Fermin wasn't able to sniff the lineup on a regular basis. He didn't exactly make a compelling case for himself in the few opportunities he was given, either, looking overmatched in his 79 plate appearances. The 26-year-old did put together easily his best offensive showing at Triple-A Memphis, but considering it was his fourth stint at the Triple-A level, that's not exactly something to write home about. Fermin has speed and offers some defensive versatility, but he appears no closer to carving out a big-league role than he did at this time last year.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see outfield action
According to John Denton of MLB.com, Fermin played one game in left field for Triple-A Memphis in an attempt to improve his versatility as a big-league bench piece. He was called up by the Cardinals on Friday.
Analysis
The 25-year-old appeared in nine games for the Cardinals in late April and early May but has spent most of the campaign with Memphis, where he has a .346/.461/.615 slash line in 32 contests. St. Louis' infield is currently in good health, so being a viable option in the outfield can only help Fermin's outlook for playing time. Still, he'll likely be limited to a reserve role barring an injury for the Cardinals.
