Chase Utley

Chase Utley went 4-for-5 with four runs scored and two RBIs in Saturday's win over the Giants.

Fantasy Impact

Utley has done a nice job filling in for the ailing Dodgers. He's been one of the lone bright spots offensively for the team, batting .302 with solid counting stats and even two stolen bases. He's likely no more than a short-term fill in, but he could be worth riding while he's hot.

The Dodgers have re-signed Chase Utley, according to Jon Heyman. Terms of the deal are currently unknown, but it's likely a one-year deal like Utley has signed each of the past two offseasons.

Fantasy Impact

Utley is no more than a backup at this point, slashing .236/.324/.405 with eight home runs in 127 games for the Dodgers last year. He provides little fantasy value, although he can be a low-end play in deep NL-only leagues.

Chase Utley went 1-for-2 with two runs, two RBIs and three walks Sunday against the Reds.

Fantasy Impact

Utley has resurrected himself and keeps contributing. Utley now has four home runs and 18 RBIs on the year. If you have a utility spot open, Utley might serve you well as long as he keeps starting.

Chase Utley went 3-for-4 with two runs with an RBI Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Utley has found his stroke and is swinging a hot bat after a slow start to the season. He maybe worth a pickup as long as he's hitting, but will lose at bats once Justin Turner returns from the DL.

Chase Utley went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Monday against the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Utley hit his third home run off Mike Leake in the third inning Monday, and continues to swing a hot bat, raising his AVG to .233 on the year. If you need some middle infield help, Utley could provide some production as long as he stays hot. Once Justin Turner returns from the DL though he'll lose his playing time.
