He's not expected to return to the Orioles until at least June.","date":"Fri May 17"},"fullName":"Wilson Betemit","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Betemit has carved himself out a nice little niche as a platoon mate the past half-decade; he has a lifetime OPS nearly 200 points higher against right-handed pitchers (.824) than lefties (.637), and he's been a .292/.351/.483 hitter against righties the past five seasons. As such, he's ticketed to be the Orioles' left-handed half of a designated hitter platoon whose right-handed half is TBA (Russ Canzler?). That limited role caps Betemit's usefulness in fantasy to AL-only leagues and deeper daily formats, but he generally is utilized properly by his teams and can be a handy pick as you fill out your roster in those. He's also the fallback for Manny Machado at third base; regular at-bats would drive down Betemit's batting average but could lead to a few more runs/RBIs.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"}}
