Brent Rooker Hits 30th Homer In Season Finale

Oakland Athletics outfielder/designated hitter Brent Rooker went 3-for-3 with his 30th home run, an RBI, a run scored and a walk in the season finale on Sunday, a 7-3 loss to the Los Angeles Angels. Rooker was one of the few bright spots for a bad A's team in 2023, and he finishes the season with a .246/.329/.488 slash line with an .817 OPS, career-high 30 home runs, 20 doubles, a triple, 69 RBI, four stolen bases and 61 runs scored in 137 games and 526 plate appearances. He made his first All-Star team and bested his previous career-high in homers (nine) by a wide margin. The 28-year-old had a rough stretch in the middle of the season after a white-hot start, but he picked things up a bit after the All-Star break and into the end of the season.

Brent Rooker Re-Enters Starting Lineup Wednesday

Oakland A's outfielder Brent Rooker is back in the starting lineup Wednesday afternoon against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander George Kirby.

It's been a career year for Rooker who has hit .241 with 26 home runs, three stolen bases, and a .797 OPS across 126 games, production that sits 21% above the league average, as per his 121 wRC+. He will have his hands full on Wednesday against Kirby who owns a 3.57 ERA and an MLB-best 2.6% BB% across his 28 starts on the season.

Brent Rooker Not In Tuesday's Lineup

Oakland Athletics outfielder/designated hitter Brent Rooker is absent from the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Luis Castillo and the Seattle Mariners. The 28-year-old has had a career season, slashing .241/.325/.472 with 26 long balls, 55 runs, 60 RBI, and three stolen bases across 126 contests. Tyler Soderstrom will take his spot at DH and bat seventh. The former first-rounder hasn't put it together yet over his 36 career games, as he's hitting .171 with three homers. Soderstrom is solid in dynasty formats for his power potential, but fantasy managers can leave him on the waiver wire in redraft leagues.
