Joey Loperfido - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Pushing for starting spot Loperfido is in the mix to start the season in Houston's Opening Day outfield, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Impact Loperfido has put together a strong spring since rejoining the Astros, batting .333 (10-for-30) with an .896 OPS, a home run and two stolen bases across 13 games. Loperfido has seen some time in centerfield with Jake Meyers reportedly on the trading block. If Meyers does ultimately start the year in Houston, the lefty-batting Loperfido would likely occupy the strong side of a corner outfield platoon.

Heading back to Houston The Astros acquired Loperfido from the Blue Jays on Friday in exchange for Jesus Sanchez.

Impact It's a return to his original organization for Loperfido, who broke into the big leagues with the Astros before being dealt to Toronto in the Yusei Kikuchi trade in July 2024. Loperfido hasn't gained a foothold yet in the majors, but he did hit well over 104 plate appearances last season, slashing .333/.379/.500 with four home runs. The 26-year-old will be in the mix for reps as part of a largely unproven outfield in Houston.

Recalled, in lineup Tuesday The Blue Jays recalled Loperfido from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Impact Loperfido is drawing the start in left field and will bat eighth in Tuesday's series opener versus the Astros. He's hit well when given an opportunity with the big club this season, slashing .358/.409/.506 with three home runs in 30 contests. Loperfido could see reps in the outfield against righties while Bo Bichette (knee) is out, if the Blue Jays elect to use Addison Barger at third base regularly as they are Tuesday.

Sent to Triple-A The Blue Jays optioned Loperfido to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Loperfido will yield his spot on the 26-man roster in response to George Springer's (concussion) activation from the injured list. Loperfido had been part of the big-league roster since July 6, slashing .358/.409/.506, but a wealth of talent in the outfield leaves Loperfido as the odd man out.
