Fantasy Impact

Bleday will head to the bench with a left-hander on the mound for the Rangers. Daz Cameron will start in center field and bat eighth.

JJ Bleday went 2-for-4 with a double in the Athletics' 2-0 victory over the White Sox.

Fantasy Impact

Despite not contributing to the runs or RBIs, Bleday managed to notch a couple of hits, including a double, enhancing his season totals slightly. His performance this season has been moderately productive, with a batting average that remains a concern at .246. However, his ability to hit doubles—he now has 41 on the season—provides some value in formats that reward extra-base hits. Fantasy managers should continue to view Bleday as a situational play, depending on matchups and league format, given his inconsistent production and high strikeout rate.

JJ Bleday is in the starting lineup for the A’s Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Bleday will patrol center field and bat third against the Mariners Monday. He is hitting .248, with 20 home runs, and 54 RBI this season.

JJ Bleday went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and four RBI in the Athletics' 9-2 rout of the Rangers.

Fantasy Impact

Bleday's performance was a bright spot in what has been a somewhat inconsistent season for the outfielder. His power display, driving in four runs, helped secure the win and bolster his RBI total to 54 for the year. With a .251 batting average and 20 homers now on the season, Bleday remains a viable fantasy option, particularly in leagues that value extra-base hits and RBI production. His ability to contribute in multiple categories can be a boon, though his strikeout rate suggests potential volatility in his batting average.

JJ Bleday went 5-for-5 in the Athletics' 10-9 loss to the Reds, delivering a home run, two doubles, three runs scored, and an RBI.

Fantasy Impact

This standout performance marked a significant uptick in Bleday's season, especially considering his batting average has hovered around the .249 mark. His ability to connect for extra bases, including his 19th homer and 35th double of the season, underscores a potential uptick in power that could be very appealing for fantasy managers. While his overall season stats suggest inconsistency, performances like this highlight his potential value in deeper fantasy leagues, particularly if he can maintain a semblance of this momentum.
