Stephen Piscotty

Stephen Piscotty signed a minor league deal with the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact

Piscotty returns to the Athletics organization after spending last year with the White Sox. He'll look to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster out of Spring Training.

San Francisco Giants outfielder Stephen Piscotty has requested his release and the club has granted it.

Fantasy Impact

Piscotty performed well in 10 spring games, hitting .320 with three doubles and an .810 OPS across 25 at-bats. However, the 32-year-old has struggled mightily at the plate over the last three seasons, posting a wRC+ of 80 or worse in each of those campaigns. He's coming off his worst MLB season as he hit just .190 with five homers, a .593 OPS, and 70 wRC+ across 42 games with the A's last season.

Stephen Piscotty went 1-for-4 at the plate on Friday, hitting a 3-run homer, and striking out once as the A's went on to beat the White Sox in a 7-3 game.

Fantasy Impact

Piscotty hit his fifth home run of the season on Friday night and his third over the last five games. The Athletics' outfielder is batting .219 on the season with an OPS of .682. The 31 year old has been heating up as of lately so with that being said he likely can be rostered, albeit with caution moving forward.

Stephen Piscotty went 2-for-3 at the plate on Wednesday, hitting a solo homer, and striking out once as the A's went on to beat the Astros in a 4-2 game.

Fantasy Impact

Piscotty hit his fourth home run of the season Wednesday and his second in the last four games. The A's outfielder is batting .218 with an OPS of .659, however he should not be rostered at the moment other than in AL leagues only at best.

Stephen Piscotty went 2-for-5 at the plate on Sunday, hitting a single along with a 2-run homer, and striking out once as the A's went on to lose to the Rangers in a 11-8 game.

Fantasy Impact

Piscotty's home run on Sunday was just his third of the season as he brought his RBI total to just 10, which are both well below average numbers. The Athletics' outfielder is batting a below average .198 and he has a below average OPS of .591. The 31 year old should be heavily avoided in fantasy, especially since he has played in only 29 games this season.
