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.

NEW YORK (AP) — Austin Riley hit a grand slam and a two-run homer to set a career high with six RBIs, powering the Atlanta Braves to a 12-5 rout of the New York Mets on Tuesday night. Ozzie Albies and Abraham Almonte also had two-run homers for the Braves, who have won two of the first three in a five-game series as they chase the first-place Mets in the NL East. Dansby Swanson delivered a two-run double in the first inning to get Atlanta started. Charlie Morton (10-3) allowed three runs and five hits with five strikeouts over five innings. Mets spot starter Jerad Eickhoff (0-2) gave up 10 runs on seven hits and five walks in 3 1/3 innings. Jeff McNeil and Brandon Drury each hit a two-run homer for the Mets after they trailed 10-1 in the fourth.

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]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trea Turner completed his record-tying third career cycle by hitting a sixth-inning triple for the Washington Nationals on Wednesday, accomplishing the feat on his 28th birthday in a 15-6 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. The speedy shortstop became the fifth player in major league history with three cycles, joining Adrian Beltre, Babe Herman, Bob Meusel and John Reilly, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. He also scored four times in the victory, which sealed a two-game sweep as well as Washington’s fourth straight win and 14th in its last 17 games. Turner singled in the first off Tampa Bay opener Drew Rasmussen, doubled in the third against Ryan Sherriff (0-1), then hit his 14th homer in the fourth off Michael Wacha. Two innings later, Turner hit a ball into the right-field corner and beat second baseman Mike Brosseau's throw to third with a headfirst slide. Jon Lester (2-3) allowed five runs on seven hits over five innings, striking out three and walking two. ANGELS... [More]
