2024 Fantasy Outlook
Brujan spent several years highly ranked in the Rays' farm system, but his minor league hitting success still has not translated to any success at the big league level. He has a career .157/.218/.221 triple-slash line over 99 games and the Rays moved on sending Brujan and Calvin Fauchier to the Marlins for pieces off the 40-man roster this winter. Brujan is out of minor league options, so the Marlins would have to expose the 26 year old utility player to waivers should he not show any growth this offseason. Brujan is capable of playing multiple positions in the field and has plenty of speed, but does not always use it wisely with a poor stolen base success rate and some TOOTBLANs throughout the past couple of seasons. Brujan is essentially Mark Belanger without the defense. Draft him accordingly. Read Past Outlooks

Moving into reserve role
Brujan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
ANALYSIS
After a stretch of 16 consecutive starts, Brujan is on the bench for the second day in a row and appears set to operate as a utility man moving forward. His most recent nine starts came at shortstop, but Tim Anderson returned from the injured list Tuesday and has reclaimed everyday duties at the position. Meanwhile, Brujan looks to have lost out on playing time at second base to Otto Lopez, who has produced an .886 OPS thus far in May while chipping in two home runs and two stolen bases.

How does Vidal Brujan 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
Potentially expendable
Brujan could be included as part of a package for Shohei Ohtani, speculates Jim Bowden of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Brujan hasn't wowed in a brief MLB sample size, hitting just .163 with three home runs across his first 246 career plate appearances. Nonetheless, the 25-year-old slashed a strong .271/.355/.439 throughout his time in Triple-A and likely retains some trade appeal.

2022
2021
2020
2019
2018
Brujan played six different spots for the Rays over his 52 played at the big league level, which in itself points to the issue with his future. The club is not certain Brujan has any one home defensively, but they like the versatility in a pinch. He has a track record of hitting throughout the minor leagues as well as flashing his speed on the bases, but 2022 was a struggle for him as he was caught in 18 of his 49 attempts between Triple-A and the majors. The minor league version of Brujan has been a high-contact hitter who has accepted his walks and sprayed the ball to all fields while the major league version has been mostly overmatched by velocity and has seen a steady diet of it. 2023 does not appear to offer him a clear path to a starting position, but he is out of options so he is a cinch to make the roster assuming he is not dealt over the winter because the roster currently shows six different hitters without options on the 26-man roster which is an unusual amount of inflexibility for the Rays.
