Roster %
Eligibility
Brent Rooker is missing from the lineup for the Oakland Athletics against the Houston Astros Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Rooker will take a seat on the bench for rest reasons, with Kyle McCann batting seventh and occupying the designated hitter spot for manager Mark Kotsay Sunday against the Astros.
Brent Rooker went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in the Athletics' 3-1 win over the Astros.
Fantasy Impact
His clutch hitting contributed significantly to the team's victory, driving in two of the three runs. Rooker's performance this season has been solid, maintaining a .286 batting average with a notable .394 wOBA, which highlights his effectiveness at the plate. His 34 RBI through 42 games are commendable and his power numbers, with 11 homers, suggest he can be a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, especially in categories like RBI and home runs. However, his high strikeout rate (.328) remains a concern, potentially impacting his batting average and on-base opportunities as the season progresses. Fantasy managers should weigh these factors but consider Rooker a viable option for power and production.
Brent Rooker collected two hits, including a home run and three RBI on Sunday against the Royals.
Fantasy Impact
It was the 11th home run on the season for Rooker. He remains one of the top hitters in the Athletics lineup.
Brent Rooker went 2-for-5 with an RBI in the Athletics' 5-3 defeat to the Royals.
Fantasy Impact
Despite a couple of hits and driving in a run, Rooker's performance was marred by striking out three times, which continues to highlight his high strikeout rate this season. With a .277 average and 10 homers over 36 games, Rooker has shown some power and run-producing ability, but his high strikeout rate (.336) and relatively low walk rate (.103) could be concerning for fantasy managers. His .386 wOBA indicates solid offensive production, but maintaining consistency will be key for Rooker to remain a viable fantasy option.
Brent Rooker went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Athletics' 8-4 loss to the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
His performance included a key home run, contributing significantly to the team's scoring efforts, though it wasn't enough to secure a win. Rooker's season has been quite productive, boasting a .293 batting average and 10 home runs over 30 games, which positions him as a valuable asset in fantasy lineups, especially in power categories. His high strikeout rate of 0.322 remains a concern, potentially impacting his batting average and on-base opportunities. However, his solid wOBA of .421 indicates effective overall offensive production, making him a worthwhile consideration for fantasy managers looking for power hitters despite the strikeouts.
