Brent Rooker Back In The Lineup Monday
9 months agoOakland A's outfielder Brent Rooker is back in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the Boston Red Sox and right-hander Tanner Houck. The 29-year-old didn't appear in Sunday's series finale with the Guardians but will hit fifth and handle designated hitter duties on Monday. Interestingly, Rooker hasn't seen full-time duty this season on the heels of a breakout campaign that saw him club 26 home runs alongside an .817 OPS across 137 appearances in 2023. At the same time, he is also 0-for-8 with one walk against an ugly seven strikeouts through his first nine trips to the plate this season. Fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on his usage as it appears he may not be an everyday player despite his big 2023 campaign.
