Julio Rodriguez

Julio Rodriguez went 2-for-5 with a run scored in the Mariners' 4-3 victory over the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

Despite managing to cross the plate once, Rodriguez's performance was marred by a trio of strikeouts and a lack of extra-base hits or RBIs. This season, Rodriguez has maintained a .269 batting average, but his power numbers have been modest with only two homers to his name. His strikeout rate remains a concern at 0.287, indicating a potential area for improvement as the season progresses. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his contact quality and plate discipline, hoping for signs of growth in these areas to boost his overall fantasy value.

Julio Rodriguez went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and two RBI in the Mariners' 8-4 victory over the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact

This performance provided a boost to his somewhat middling .255 average and overall production this season. With only his second home run of the year, Rodriguez's power display is a welcome sight for fantasy managers who have been waiting for a sign of increased slugging from the young outfielder. His season-long stats suggest a struggle with strikeouts and a modest on-base percentage, but games like this highlight his potential upside. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on whether this game sparks a hot streak, though he should remain active in all formats.

Julio Rodriguez went 0-for-4 with a walk and strikeout on Sunday against the Astros.

Fantasy Impact

Rodriguez was the lone starter to not collect a hit in Sunday's win over Houston. His struggles compared to expectations have continued, though he has been a little better as of late compared to earlier in the season.

Julio Rodriguez hit his first HR of 2024 on Tuesday, a 435-foot two-run blast in the third inning. He would finish 1-for-3 with a run scored and two RBIs.

Fantasy Impact

Julio has turned things around after a slow start. Over his last 5 games, he has a BA of .500, an OBP of .500, a SLG of .583 and three SBs. His HR Tuesday traveled well into the second deck in Texas with an EV of 110+. Julio managers should hold him in high regard as the SLG is coming around and his BA is up to .278. If Julio is hitting for power and consistently on base his fantasy ceiling remains elite; he is in the 98th percentile in sprint speed thus far.

Julio Rodriguez went 4-for-5 with two RBI, one run scored, and two stolen bases in the Mariners' dominant 7-0 victory over the Rockies.

Fantasy Impact

This performance is a bright spot in what has been a somewhat sluggish start to the season for Rodriguez, who has been struggling to find his power stroke with a .256 average and no home runs thus far. However, his ability to swipe bases and hit safely in multiple at-bats this game could signal a turning point for fantasy managers looking for stolen bases and runs scored. While the lack of power and high strikeout rate are concerns, his high BABIP suggests that Rodriguez is making solid contact when he does connect, which could lead to more consistent production as the season progresses.
