2024 Fantasy Outlook
Pillar spent the 2023 campaign with Atlanta and had a .228/.248/.416 slash line in 81 contests. The 35-year-old signed a minor-league contract with the White Sox in February, giving him a decent path to a roster spot. Pillar typically fared better against left-handed pitching throughout his career, but that was especially the case last season with a .734 OPS versus lefties compared to a .580 OPS against righties, likely setting up his best-case scenario as a short-side platoon option.

Pillar signed a major-league contract with the White Sox on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
The veteran outfielder was cut loose by Chicago on Friday, but he'll end up rejoining the organization a couple days later. Pillar should serve as the White Sox's No. 4 outfielder and isn't likely to have much fantasy utility.

Stat Review
How does Kevin Pillar 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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Says goodbye to Atlanta
Pillar posted an apparent goodbye to Atlanta fans via his personal X account Sunday, indicating he won't re-sign with the organization.
ANALYSIS
The veteran outfielder joined the club on a one-year, $3 million deal in January and had a .228/.248/.416 slash line with nine home runs in 206 plate appearances during 2023. Pillar has a .673 OPS in 209 contests over the past three seasons and will likely have to settle for a part-time role again in 2024, assuming he's able to land a major-league contract.

When Pillar failed to crack the Dodgers' Opening Day roster last season, the consequence was his first non-rehab stint in the minors since 2014. To his credit, the veteran outfielder didn't shy away from the assignment, slashing .315/.412/.622 with nine homers and 34 RBI over 35 games with Triple-A Oklahoma City. The impressive performance helped Pillar earn his way back up to the majors, but the opportunity to show what he still has left in the tank came to an abrupt stop after less than a week due to a shoulder injury that required surgery and essentially ended his season. Pillar managed to recover in time to squeeze in a few more Triple-A appearances near the end of the campaign, so the shoulder injury should no longer be a concern, but it's uncertain where he may fit on a big-league roster during his age-34 season. He's no longer a plus defender and has never been more than an average MLB hitter, so a best-case scenario may have Pillar in a platoon role on a squad lacking outfield depth.
