Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Helman has an interesting speed-power combo and versatility to play almost every position (he's played all but catcher in the minors), but he may not be more than utility player since he'll turn 29 next season. Helman hit 12 home runs with 14 steals at Triple-A last season with a .212 ISO. He's had a good command of the strike zone during his minor league career as well. He has outstanding speed which could make him an option in center field but likely doesn't have a good enough glove for regular duty in the infield. He'll be an intriguing fantasy option if he gets regular at-bats as he could be a late bloomer, but he'll likely be a long shot to win a utility role this spring. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Cardinals in March of 2025. Waived by the Cardinals in May of 2025. Claimed off waivers by the Pirates in May of 2025. Waived by the Pirates in May of 2025. Claimed off waivers by the Rangers in May of 2025.
Demoted to Triple-A
The Rangers optioned Helman to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.
Analysis
He'll cede his spot on the 26-man roster to Joc Pederson (hand). After getting called up from Round Rock this past Monday, Helman quickly settled into the short side of a platoon in center field with Evan Carter, making three starts while going 2-for-7 with a home run, four RBI and an additional run. Sam Haggerty was reinstated from the IL earlier in the weekend and will most likely replace Helman as Carter's platoon mate.
