Austin Wells Stays Hot With Home Run No. 9
4 months agoNew York Yankees catcher Austin Wells collected three hits in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the White Sox, including his ninth home run of the season. The backstop also tallied three RBI in the contest hitting out of the fourth spot in the order. The former first-round draft pick is riding a 10-game hit streak in games in which he's started, and since July 22 is slashing .360/.419/.560 with eight extra-base hits and 18 RBI in 19 games. The University of Arizona product is still available in over 60% of Yahoo leagues, so managers looking for a hot bat at the catcher position who is hitting in the cleanup spot of a potent lineup should consider adding Wells.
