Player Outlook
Brandon Drury had a productive first season in Anaheim during 2023 after signing a two-year deal, but he cratered last season and finished with a .169/.242/.228 slash line in 97 contests. He missed some time due to hamstring issues and an upper-respiratory illness, though it's unclear how much his performance was affected. Drury entered 2024 with two straight seasons of 25-plus home runs with an OPS over .800, but his launch angle was cut nearly in half to six degrees last year, which resulted in a career-high 57.1 percent groundball rate. A best-case scenario for 2025 is likely signing with a rebuilding club where Drury can receive regular playing time before being shipped to a contender at the trade deadline. Even then he may not have much fantasy upside unless he can fully rediscover the 20-homer power, which he never achieved in the big leagues prior to 2022.

  • White Sox's Brandon Drury: Suffers fractured thumb

    Rotowire
    Drury was diagnosed with a fractured left thumb Saturday, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. Losing Drury is a tough blow for the White Sox, as the 32-year-old was slashing .410/.439/.821 with three home runs and 11 RBI in spring training and was likely to break camp with the big-league squad. Instead, he'll spend the first portion of the regular season on the injured list. No timeline for his return has been provided.

  • White Sox's Brandon Drury: Managing bruised hand

    Rotowire
    Drury was scratched from Friday's Cactus League lineup due to a bruised left hand, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. It's unclear when Drury suffered the injury, but he'll be held out for at least one spring game. The 32-year-old signed a minor-league deal with the White Sox during the offseason and is expected to be included on the Opening Day roster given his 1.260 OPS during spring training.

  • White Sox's Brandon Drury: Scratched Friday

    Rotowire
    Drury was scratched from the lineup for Friday's spring game against the Reds for unspecified reasons. The 32-year-old was penciled in to start at first base but will instead sit out Friday's contest. After signing a minor-league contract with the White Sox in February, Drury has given himself a chance to make the Opening Day roster with a 1.260 OPS in 13 spring games.

  • White Sox's Brandon Drury: Impressing in camp

    Rotowire
    Drury has a chance to earn a roster spot with the White Sox to begin the regular season, Scott Merkin of MLB.com reports. Drury had a poor 2024 season, but he had previously posted consecutive campaigns with at least an .800 OPS. He has hit well this spring by collecting nine hits across 30 at-bats, including one home run and five doubles. Drury is likely to be a bench bat even if he makes the roster, though he's an option to keep an eye on with so many unproven options in the White Sox's lineup.

  • White Sox's Brandon Drury: Agrees to NRI deal with ChiSox

    Rotowire
    The White Sox signed Drury to a minor-league contract Friday that includes an invitation to spring training. Drury had a dreadful 2024 campaign, putting up a .469 OPS across 97 contests with the Angels. The 32-year-old slashed .262/.313/.495 with 54 home runs from 2022 to 2023, so some level of a bounce-back showing in 2025 seems plausible. Drury should have a decent chance of making the Opening Day roster with the White Sox.

    Rotowire
    Drury is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Drury is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros. Drury is absent from the starting nine for a second straight game, yielding to Jack Lopez at second base.

  • Angels' Brandon Drury: Back in at DH on Wednesday

    Rotowire
    Drury (hamstring) will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game versus the White Sox, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Drury is back in action for the first time in a week after he had been battling a sore left hamstring. Injuries have limited him to just 88 games this season, and he's managed a dreadful .478 OPS during that time.

  • Angels' Brandon Drury: Idle Friday

    Rotowire
    Drury (hamstring) isn't in the Angels' lineup for Friday's game against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Hamstring tightness forced Drury to make an early exit from Wednesday's contest, and it seems he'll need another day to recover following Thursday's off day. In his place, Michael Stefanic will start at the keystone and bat ninth.

  • Angels' Brandon Drury: Exits with hamstring tightness

    Rotowire
    Drury was removed from Wednesday's game against the Twins due to left hamstring tightness. It wasn't immediately clear when Drury suffered the injury, but his hamstring was apparently bothering him enough to warrant his removal in the fifth inning. The Angels' scheduled off day Thursday will give him an extra day to rest, but Michael Stefanic could be in line for a start at second base if Drury's absence extends into Friday.

  • Angels' Brandon Drury: Belts long homer in victory

    Rotowire
    Drury went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Monday in a 6-2 win against the Twins. Drury's third-inning solo shot to left field traveled an estimated 459 feet. It was his first extra-base hit of September, though he's been swinging the bat decently well this month, hitting .276 over 29 at-bats through eight contests. That's a vast improvement over the .157 mark he posted through the end of August.

  • Angels' Brandon Drury: Knocks homer in loss

    Rotowire
    Drury went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 9-5 loss to the Mariners. Drury has homered twice over his last four contests after a 62-game power drought. He's still not hitting particularly well, going 3-for-26 (.115) over his last eight games. For the season, the infielder is at a .159/.243/.218 slash line with three homers, 13 RBI, 25 runs scored and six doubles over 284 plate appearances. Most of his lost playing time has been due to injuries, but the Angels could reduce his workload over the final month if they want to get a look at an infield prospect such as Christian Moore or evaluate other members of their current major-league roster.

  • Angels' Brandon Drury: Heading to bench Thursday

    Rotowire
    Drury is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Drury will get a breather for the day game after a night game, opening up the keystone for Michael Stefanic in the series finale in Detroit. After another hitless effort in Wednesday's 3-2 loss, Drury is now slashing an abysmal .153/.239/.202 over 280 plate appearances. Given Drury's season-long struggles along with the fact that he's scheduled to become a free agent this offseason, the Angels could look to push him into more of a part-time role in September.

  • Angels' Brandon Drury: Ends power drought in loss

    Rotowire
    Drury went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-2 loss to the Blue Jays. Drury ended a power drought dating back to April with his eighth-inning homer, though it had little impact on the result. He missed time with a hamstring injury and an illness, but he hit just .144 and slugged a pitiful .170 over 62 games from April 15 to Aug. 24. While he's maintained regular playing time when healthy, Drury is in the midst of his worst season since 2020, slashing .157/.242/.207 with two homers, 11 RBI, 24 runs scored, six doubles and no stolen bases over 273 plate appearances this year.

  • Angels' Brandon Drury: Sitting out second straight

    Rotowire
    Drury is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Toronto. It's the second day in a row that Drury's name has been absent from the Angels' lineup card after he had started each of the previous four tilts. Michael Stefanic will occupy second base in this one.
