Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Daulton Jefferies and the Oakland Athletics. Ryan McKenna is getting the start in right field and batting seventh in the game. Hays was ice cold at the plate over the first week of the season, but he's started to turn things around lately. He notched multi-hit games in three of his last five outings, a stretch that included two doubles and three runs. Expect to see him back in the lineup for the series finale on Thursday.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays has been out of the team's lineup since Thursday as he's been with his wife, Samantha. The couple welcomed a son named Hayden on Friday. According to Orioles manager Brandon Hyde, Hays should be back in the lineup for Sunday's game. Hays has appeared in eight games so far this spring. He's slashing .200/.238/.250 with just one extra-base hit (a double). He's ranked just outside the Top-200 in the RotoBaller rankings. The 26-year-old has dealt with a number of injuries since first debuting in the majors back in 2017. He has some power upside, but he's yet break through as a reliable fantasy asset.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays made his one hit count in Thursday's 3-2 extra-innings win over the Yankees, going 1-for-5 with an RBI single to win the game and a strikeout. Hays came to the plate in the bottom of the 10th inning with one out and the bases loaded. With the infield in, he was able to chop a 3-1 offering through the left side of the infield to bring the winning run to the plate. The 26-year-old has had a fantastic September, slashing .293/.339/.690 with six home runs and 15 RBI. The O's upcoming matchups aren't the best, but Hays is a viable option as a spark plug for fantasy managers' lineups late in the season.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays had a huge game in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees, going 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a two-run HR, and two strikeouts. Hays smashed his two HR in the sixth and eighth innings for his 19th and 20th long balls of the season. The 26-year-old has been on fire in September, slashing .302/.351/.736 with six HR and 14 RBI. Hays is definitely a player to check out for fantasy managers looking for a hot bat to give them some playoff support.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays continued to produce in Sunday's 22-7 loss to the Blue Jays, going 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI. The 26-year-old has done very well lately, slashing .298/.327/.660 with four home runs and 11 RBI in September. The O's schedule isn't the best this week against the Yankees and Red Sox, but their offense has put some runs up lately and Hays has been on fire. This makes him worth a look in deeper leagues for teams looking for a playoff boost.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, three RBI, and a walk in Tuesday's 7-3 win over the Royals. Hays destroyed a third-inning Jackson Kowar breaking pitch, putting it deep into the left-field seats for his 16th HR of the season. The 26-year-old has started September off hot, batting .320 with two HR and six RBI. It may not be too late for Hays to be a fantasy contributor this season if he can stay hot through the month.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays went 2-for-5 with a single, a solo home run, and a strikeout in Sunday's 8-7 win over the Yankees. Hays put a second-inning Corey Kluber fastball just over the left-field wall for his 15th HR of the season. The 26-year-old has started September well, slashing .333/.368/.556. He has been a fantasy asset at times previously in his career, and he may be worth a look in deep leagues if he can continue to get hot.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays swiped his third bag of the season Wednesday against the Tampa Bay Rays. He also went 1-for-4 with a run scored out of the cleanup spot. Hays has long been touted as a special talent, but he hasn't put it together just yet, posting a .702 OPS this season. He should only be rostered in deep mixed and AL-only leagues.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays had a nice day at the plate in Sunday's 9-6 loss to the Rays, going 2-for-5 with two singles and two RBI. The 26-year-old has gotten off to a nice August, slashing .290/.290/.516 with two home runs, five RBI, and a stolen base. Hays has been a productive fantasy player in the past, so he is worth keeping an eye on now as a guy who could potentially help fantasy managers down the stretch.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays swiped his second base of the year Wednesday against the New York Yankees. He also went 1-for-4 with a single and an RBI. It's been a disappointing season for the 26-year-old, as he's managed just a .715 OPS with 11 homers in 283 at-bats. He's had an especially tough go of it with a .493 OPS over his last seven games. Fantasy managers may want to hold Hays based on his former pedigree as a prospect, but they might want to look to other options for the rest of this season.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays got in on the home run action in Monday's 7-1 win over the Yankees. Hays went 1-for-5 with a solo HR, his 11th of the season and one of four hit by the O's. He also struck out once. Hays has not provided much fantasy value this season, slashing .236/.292/.429 with 37 RBI. Unfortunately, he should not be rostered at this time despite some productive previous seasons.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays isn't in the team's lineup on Saturday as they take on the Detroit Tigers and right-handed starter Matt Manning. Hays is hitting .239 with a .296 on-base percentage, 10 home runs, and a stolen base in 290 plate appearances this season. DJ Stewart is starting in left field in Hays' place against the Tigers and batting sixth. The 27-year-old is hitting .208 with a .322 on-base percentage and seven home runs in 236 plate appearances this year. If you need a streaming option in the outfield you're probably better off looking elsewhere on Saturday.

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two strikeouts in Tuesday's 7-3 loss to the Marlins. Hays crushed a fourth-inning Sandy Alcantara offering into the left-center seats for his 10th HR of the season. Hays has slowly started to pick things up, slashing .249/.305/.443 with 36 RBI. He hasn't played up to the level fantasy managers were hoping for, but he is worth keeping an eye on. He may be able to be a fantasy asset if he can get his batting average up.

BOSTON (AP) — Held hitless into the eighth inning by Domingo Germán and looking feeble, Alex Verdugo and the Boston Red Sox suddenly erupted for five runs and stormed past the New York Yankees 5-4 Sunday. Verdugo opened the eighth with a long double for Boston’s first hit. Later, Kiké Hernández slid home headfirst on Xander Bogaerts’ sacrifice fly with the go-ahead run to cap the rally. The Red Sox won for the 10th time in 13 games against the Yankees and reclaimed first place in the AL East, a game ahead of Tampa Bay. New York fell nine games behind Boston. Boston trailed 4-0 when Verdugo doubled to deep right, and Germán was lifted after the hit. Jonathan Loaisiga (7-4) relieved, and Boston broke loose with four straight hits. Hunter Renfroe had an RBI double, Christian Vázquez singled home a run and Hernández followed with an RBI double, cutting it to 4-3. Zack Britton relieved and pinch-hitter Kevin Plawecki’s groundout plated the tying run. Hernández hustled hard and beat right fielder... [More]
