Roster %
Eligibility
JJ Bleday is in the Athletics lineup on Thursday against the Astros.
Fantasy Impact
Bleday is back in center field for Oakland. He has hit five home runs with 18 RBI so far this season.
JJ Bleday went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Athletics' 8-1 rout of the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact
His solo shot contributed to a dominant win, marking his fifth homer of the season. Despite a modest .241 batting average over 41 games, Bleday's power stroke has been a valuable asset, especially considering his contribution to the team's run production. His wOBA of .326 indicates a decent ability to create runs, but his high strikeout rate and relatively low BABIP suggest there's room for improvement. Fantasy managers should view Bleday as a potential power source, though his inconsistency at the plate might make him a risky play in shallower leagues.
JJ Bleday had a standout performance in the Athletics' dominant 20-4 victory over the Marlins, going 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and four RBI.
Fantasy Impact
This game marks a significant uptick in Bleday's production, boosting his RBI total to 17 and his home run count to four for the season. His season batting average now sits at .252, and while his strikeout rate remains a concern, his ability to drive in runs and hit for power was on full display. Fantasy managers should note Bleday's potential for similar bursts of productivity, especially in favorable matchups, though his overall inconsistency may still pose a risk.
JJ Bleday had a standout performance in the Athletics' 5-2 victory over the Pirates, going 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI.
Fantasy Impact
Prior to this game, Bleday had not homered since April 2. His fantasy potential is limited, particularly as part of the A's lineup, but he is worth monitoring in deeper formats after a game like this.
JJ Bleday is out of the lineup for the Athletics Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Bleday will get the day off with a left-hander on the mound for the Yankees. Esteury Ruiz will patrol center field and bat leadoff.
