Mon Aug 501:14Gunnar Henderson Smashes Homer, Scores Three Times
Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer on Sunday, leading the O's to a 9-5 win over the Cleveland Guardians. Henderson also scored three times. The 23-year-old has been sensational for most of the season, but July was a bit mediocre as Henderson had a .751 OPS and managed only two homers. He has gotten off to a hot start in August though, and fantasy managers should have no worries about him being one of the premiere shortstops in the league. If he wants to stay in the MVP race with Bobby Witt Jr. and Aaron Judge, though, he'll have to get back to where he was early in the season.

Henderson crushed his 18th home run on the season and has continued to provide plenty of power out of the leadoff spot for the Orioles. Despite his power consistency, his overall consistency with the bat has taken a huge dip in May, with a .218 batting average after batting a solid .280 in April. To this date, the 22-year-old has a modest .254 batting average, along with those 18 long balls, 41 RBI, and seven stolen bases on the season. If he can get that batting average back up into the .280 range or higher next month, Henderson should be right back at the top of the American League MVP race.

Wed May 1512:21Gunnar Henderson Batting Cleanup On Wednesday

Mon Mar 412:03Gunnar Henderson Will Make Spring Debut Monday
Baltimore Orioles infielder Gunnar Henderson (oblique) said he will be in the team's Grapefruit League lineup on Monday against the Minnesota Twins for his spring training debut. Henderson has been held back in camp as a precaution due to a sore oblique, but he's ready to roll now and will be fine for Opening Day at the end of the month. It was also announced on Monday by manager Brandon Hyde that Henderson will spend the majority of his time at shortstop this season, although the skipper did say third base is "still an option." The 22-year-old played more third base than short last year, but Baltimore plans to use Henderson as more of a shortstop in 2024, meaning Jorge Mateo will be shifted to more of a utility role for the O's. Jackson Holliday may have to focus more on second base, while Jordan Westburg should be more of an option at the hot corner.

Sun Mar 313:10Gunnar Henderson Expected To Play In Spring Game Monday
Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that third baseman Gunnar Henderson (oblique) is expected to play in the team's Grapefruit League game on Monday. The Orioles have held Henderson out of the early spring training slate due to an oblique injury that he suffered early in camp. The 22-year-old's injury was never considered serious, though, and they have been slow-playing him strictly as a precaution. As long as he doesn't suffer a setback with his oblique injury once he begins playing in Grapefruit League games, he should be just fine for Opening Day in late March. Henderson backed up the hype as one of the faces of the future for the franchise with a breakout 2023 season, and he should be considered a top-five fantasy third base target in upcoming drafts.

Fri Mar 112:12Gunnar Henderson Taking Live Batting Practice
Baltimore Orioles third baseman Gunnar Henderson (oblique) is taking live batting practice in camp on Friday for the first time since dealing with a sore oblique muscle early in spring training. Henderson said it shouldn't be much longer before he makes his Grapefruit League debut. Barring a setback of some sort, the 22-year-old youngster will have plenty of time to get ramped up before Opening Day in late March. He was a big reason why the O's captured the American League East crown in 2023 in his first full MLB season. RotoBaller has Henderson ranked as the No. 5 fantasy third baseman in 2024 after he slashed an impressive .255/.325/.489 with an .814 OPS, 28 homers, 82 RBI, 10 stolen bases and 100 runs scored in 150 regular-season games. The scary part is he could improve in the batting-average department if his plate discipline gets better.
