Justin Ruggiano played RF for the Giants on Monday night. Ruggiano went 2-for-4 at the plate with two RBIs and one run scored.

Fantasy Impact

Ruggiano is filling in for the injured Hunter Pence. He is more of a DFS player when he's in the lineup to save on money. No need to pick him up for your season-long team.

Ruggiano started in center field for the New York Mets, and he finished 2-for-3 with one run scored, one RBI and one walk. He also struck out once.

Fantasy Impact

Since coming back from the DL, Ruggiano has hit 5-for-8 in his last two games. He'a right handed hitter, which the Mets need as they are predominantly left-handed hitters in the outfield. Ruggiano could be a sneaky punt play in DFS going forward.

Ruggiano had a huge game for the New York Mets. He finished 3-for-5 with a grand slam. Overall, he had two runs, three hits and four RBIs.

Fantasy Impact

As a righty, expect Ruggiano to be a staple in the Mets lineup. The Mets have very few right handed options in their roster. Ruggiano has a .861 OPS against lefties versus .694 against righties in his career. He's worth a look as a punt play in DFS.

Justin Ruggiano got the start Wednesday over Delino DeShields with a lefty on the mound for the Mariners and Ruggiano delivered. Justin went 1-for-4 with a RBI double but struck out once.

Fantasy Impact

Ruggiano is expected to get spot starts throughout the first month when a lefty starts against the Rangers. The Rangers will play the match ups with Ruggiano and DeShields until Josh Hamilton returns. As for Ruggiano, it is good to see him step up when given the opportunity, but as a rotational player it will be hard to depend on him for your fantasy team. He is more of a late scratch DFS fill in.

Justin Ruggiano received the spot-start in center field and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the Mariners victory over the Angels.

Fantasy Impact

Ruggiano batted second but could not provide any value to the lineup, failing to reach base with two strikeouts. In 31 at-bats this season, Ruggiano is hitting .194 with zero home runs or RBI. He provides very little fantasy value, especially when he is not reaching base. Leave him on the waiver wire in all formats.
