Nationals' Corey Dickerson: Could hit near top of order
Dickerson has hit second in all three of his spring games so far, and Nationals manager Dave Martinez praised him as a "professional hitter" Thursday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.
Early spring batting orders don't always mean a lot, but Martinez describing Dickerson as a player who puts the ball in play and can work a count certainly sounds like the traditional resume of a two-hole hitter. If he does win the assignment, the 33-year-old would likely find himself batting behind CJ Abrams or Lane Thomas and ahead of the likes of Joey Meneses, Keibert Ruiz and Dominic Smith, but Dickerson's .266/.313/.403 slash line over the last three seasons doesn't hold a lot of fantasy appeal regardless of his spot in the order.

Nationals' Corey Dickerson: Lands $2.25 million deal with Nats
Dickerson signed a one-year, $2.25 million contract with the Nationals on Tuesday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.
Dickerson will have the ability to earn an additional $750,000 in incentives. The 33-year-old collected a .267/.300/.399 batting line with six home runs over 297 plate appearances for the Cardinals last season. He appears lined up to start in left field against right-handed pitching for the Nats in 2023. It's a good landing spot in terms of Dickerson's playing-time outlook, but his fantasy appeal is limited to deep leagues.

Cardinals' Corey Dickerson: Multi-hit effort in win
Dickerson went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Nationals.
With two hits Tuesday, Dickerson now has six multi-hit games in his last 13. The hot streak has earned Dickerson almost everyday playing time, though the streak has lined up with the Cardinals facing mostly right-handed starters. As a testament to manager Oliver Marmol playing the splits, he pulled Dickerson for Dylan Carlson to allow the latter to face southpaw reliever Jake McGee despite Dickerson's two hits on the day. The veteran is slashing .289/.319/.438 in 213 plate appearances this season.
