Availability
Brayan Rocchio is out of the starting lineup for the Guardians Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Rocchio will head to the bench for the series finale with the White Sox. Daniel Schneemann will start at shortstop and bat eighth.
Brayan Rocchio went 0-for-2 but managed to steal a base and draw two walks in the Guardians' 5-3 win over the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
Despite not contributing hits or RBIs, Rocchio's ability to get on base and utilize his speed with a stolen base still offered some value. His season-long batting average remains low at .214, and with a modest power output of eight home runs, his fantasy relevance is primarily dependent on his speed and run-scoring capabilities. Fantasy managers should consider Rocchio a situational player, best utilized when needing stolen bases or runs, but his lack of consistent hitting makes him a risky play in most formats.
Brayan Rocchio went 2-for-3 in the Guardians' 3-1 win over the Dodgers, including a home run, two runs scored, and one RBI.
Fantasy Impact
This performance, highlighted by his long ball, offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers who have been enduring his underwhelming .215 batting average this season. Despite the low average, Rocchio's power surge could signal a potential uptick in production as he now has eight homers on the year. His ability to contribute in multiple categories, including runs and the occasional stolen base, keeps him relevant in deeper fantasy leagues, but his high strikeout rate and low walk rate continue to limit his upside. Managers should keep expectations in check, but performances like this one can't be ignored if he starts to show more consistency.
Brayan Rocchio is in the starting lineup for the Guardians Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Rocchio will start at shortstop and bat ninth against the Dodgers Friday. He is hitting .211, with seven home runs, 31 RBI, and nine stolen base this season.
Brayan Rocchio went 1-for-1 with a home run, two runs scored, and four RBI in the Guardians' 7-1 victory over the Royals.
Fantasy Impact
His performance was highlighted by a critical home run and two walks, showcasing his ability to get on base and drive in runs. Despite a challenging season with a batting average of just .211, this game could be a sign of Rocchio tapping into his potential power. His ability to draw walks, combined with occasional power (7 HRs this season), might make him a speculative add in deeper fantasy leagues, especially for managers in need of middle infield help. However, his high strikeout rate and low batting average suggest caution, as consistency remains an issue.
