2024 Fantasy Outlook
Perkins joined the Brewers last offseason and made his MLB debut in 2023, posting a .217/.325/.350 slash line with four homers and five steals in 67 games. The offensive production was forgettable, but a 13.9 percent walk rate coupled with strong defense (11 DRS) led to a regular role before being sidelined for a month during the second half with an oblique strain. Perkins seems unlikely to operate as much more than a fourth outfielder given Milwaukee's plethora of young outfield talent, but he could still provide some bench value for the Brewers.

Swipes two bags Friday
Perkins went 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and two stolen bases in Friday's 7-2 win over the Red Sox.
ANALYSIS
Getting the start in center field and batting ninth, Perkins swiped his first bags in May and reached base three times, extending a hot streak that has seen him go 7-for-15 over the last six games with three walks. The 27-year-old has shot past Sal Frelick on the depth chart in center, but manager Pat Murphy will likely continue riding the hot hand among his outfielders, giving Perkins little job security without a longer run of success at the plate.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Decent chance to make roster?
Brewers manager Pat Murphy indicated Sunday that Perkins should see more opportunities against left-handed pitching, which could indicate the outfielder will make the Opening Day roster, reports Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old switch-hitter had a .603 OPS against left-handed pitching last season compared to a .715 OPS versus righties. Perkins isn't a lock to make the roster, but his strong outfield defense -- he posted a plus-11 DRS in just 67 games as a rookie last year -- makes him an intriguing option for a bench spot.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Perkins is known for his defense but finally started to find a bit of a rhythm offensively in 2022, putting up an .813 OPS with 15 home runs and 21 stolen bases over 101 games between Double- and Triple-A in the Yankees organization. That earned him a major-league contract from the Brewers even as he's yet to see any action at the big-league level. The switch-hitting Perkins is 26 but still a work-in-progress and Milwaukee figures to use his options and keep him at Triple-A to see if he can continue to build some momentum.
