Sam Fuld added another chapter to his legend on Wednesday evening, tripling home two runs with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning, capping a five-run Rays rally in an 8-7 win over the Royals.

The Rays trailed 7-3 entering the bottom of the ninth after Melky Cabrera took Jake McGee deep for a three-run bomb in the top half, but jumped all over Aaron Crown and Joakim Soria. As for Fuld, his fifth triple of the season was his first extra-base hit in 10 games.

Sam Fuld will sit out for the second straight day on Friday when the Rays take on the Marlins.

Manager Joe Maddon has decided to give him two days to clear his head. After being the toast of baseball in May, Fuld is hitting just .152 this month. If you've been holding onto him in hopes of another hot streak, don't hold your breath.

Sam Fuld is not in the lineup Thursday against the Blue Jays.

It's not like most fantasy owners will miss him. Fuld made for a great story in the early part of the season, but he's batting just .152/.164/.242 with one home run and two stolen bases over 68 plate appearances this month. We sure hope you sold high. Ben Zobrist will start in right field and bat leadoff Thursday while Matt Joyce starts in left and Sean Rodriguez plays second base.

Just 3-for-33 in May entering play on Wednesday, Sam Fuld finally got it going in Tampa's win over the Indians, going 3-for-4 with two RBI, a walk and a stolen base.

A sight for his owners' sore eyes, who have probably been wondering whether or not Fuld will be worth holding onto going forward. It's still quite possible that he won't be, but now tied for the American League lead in stolen bases, it's not yet time to drop him.

Sam Fuld required a CAT scan after fouling a bunt off his left eye/forehead Saturday.

It came back negative, and he's in the lineup Sunday. One of fantasy baseball's biggest surprises thus far, Fuld has predictably cooled off of late, going hitless in his last 18 at-bats.

Sam Fuld went 3-for-5 and scored three runs in Friday's loss to the Blue Jays.

He also stole a pair of bases, giving him nine on the season. With the steals, the .366 average and the 11 runs scored, he's undoubtedly been one of fantasy's biggest surprises thus far.

Making a second straight start, Sam Fuld went 1-for-3 with a walk and three steals as the Rays' leadoff hitter Thursday.

Now 0-6, the Rays have little choice but to play the hot hand and that would seem to be Fuld at the moment. He shouldn't have any long-term value in AL-only leagues, but with four steals in four games, he's worth playing right now.

Rays manager Joe Maddon said Wednesday that Sam Fuld (elbow) will be out of the lineup for a couple days.

Fuld is currently dealing with a tender right elbow, but Maddon said his absence is mostly precautionary. The 29-year-old hopes to make the Opening Day roster as a reserve outfielder.

Outfielder Sam Fuld was traded from the Cubs to the Rays in an eight-player deal.

If the Rays were going to go with one of the two as their fifth outfielder, we'd have preferred Fernando Perez. Still, there's no big difference here and it's possible neither would have made the team. Fuld, 29, hit .272/.383/.394 for Triple-A Iowa last season. He has no upside at all, but as a 25th man, he can get on base a bit, play a solid outfield and serve as a pinch-runner when necessary.

Cubs recalled OF Sam Fuld from Triple-A Iowa.

Fuld batted .272/.383/.394 with four home runs, 27 RBI and 21 stolen bases with Triple-A Iowa this season. The 28-year-old outfielder was 0-for-2 in a brief stint with the big league club last month. He'll be bench depth over the season's final four weeks.

It was reported Wednesday that Micah Hoffpauir was called up to replace Derrek Lee on the 25-man roster, however since he was sent down to the minors on August 13, he is not eligible to return until Monday. Fuld will stick on the roster for now. The 28-year-old was batting .266/.367/.394 with four homers, 25 RBI and 18 stolen bases with Triple-A Iowa this season.
