2024 Fantasy Outlook
Short played in a career-high 112 games for Detroit last year, but he was let go early in the offseason after he posted a .204/.292/.339 slash line with seven homers and five steals. The Mets claimed him off waivers, and he should compete for a utility bench spot in 2024. Read Past Outlooks

Makes Opening Day roster
Short will begin the season on the Mets' 26-man roster, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old infielder has a strong spring at the plate, batting .308 (12-for-39) with a homer, three steals and more walks (seven) than strikeouts (six). Short offers defensive versatility to the Mets' bench, seeing action in more than 30 games at second base, third base and shortstop for the Tigers in 2023, but his most significant role to begin the current campaign is likely to come at the hot corner as a platoon partner for Brett Baty. Short's career .575 OPS over 450 plate appearances in the majors doesn't suggest he'll have much fantasy value, but he has flashed some modest power and speed in the minors.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Playing all over
Short is expected to play three infield positions and the outfield for Detroit, reports Evan Woodbery of MLive.com.
ANALYSIS
Short hit ninth and played second Tuesday in his return to Detroit from the minors. The 27-year-old made starts at five different positions for Triple-A Toledo this season and is expected to play all over the diamond for the Tigers. The utilityman hit .231/.355/.398 with 11 homers and 11 stolen bases in 102 games for the Mud Hens this season. He made his big-league debut last year for the Tigers, and after a strong start, hit just .106/.185/.235 with 47 strikeouts over his final 151 plate appearances. With Jonathan Schoop out with an ankle injury, Short may get some regular playing time and the chance to prove he can hit in the majors.
