Mike Maher described Ceddanne Rafaela as the perfect short-term pickup while his plate discipline is showing signs of life. After walking almost as many times this spring as he did in all of 2024, Rafaela opened the year chasing again and slumped. Over the past ten days, however, his chase rate has dropped eight percentage points and he’s swiped six bags while popping two homers. Rafaela qualifies at shortstop, second, and outfield in most formats, giving daily-moves managers a plug-and-play option wherever an injury strikes. Maher warned that top prospects Roman Anthony and Kyle Teel—both left-handed bats—could crowd Rafaela out of the lineup later this summer, but for now Boston needs his right-handed stick. He told gamers in 12-team roto or deeper to add Rafaela for instant steals with bonus pop and reevaluate once the prospect chatter heats up.
