Esteury Ruiz went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base in the Athletics' 5-1 win over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact
While the double and stolen base added some fantasy value, his two strikeouts continue a concerning trend for the outfielder. With a .250 batting average and a .238 strikeout rate over 14 games, Ruiz's contact issues could cap his upside. However, his speed remains an asset, as evidenced by his fourth steal of the season.
