Brent Rooker News
Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker has been red-hot at the plate in May. Rooker is coming off winning the American League Player of the Week award and crushed a two-run home run on Sunday against the Seattle Mariners at an exit velocity of 113.4 mph, marking the hardest-hit ball of his career. He now has 10 home runs on the season after a two-hit day. In 10 games so far in May, Rooker has gone 17-for-38 (.447) with five home runs. He leads the majors with 14 RBI. "This is the maturation of Brent," manager Mark Kotsay said. "It's a follow-up of last year and the success he had. The at-bats he had off Castillo were great. He's seeing the ball really well and taking a great swing." Fantasy managers would be foolish to remove a hitter this hot from their starting lineups.
Oakland Athletics designated hitter Brent Rooker went 2-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Mariners, extending his hitting streak to five games. It was his fifth multi-hit performance in his last eight games. Rooker is scorching in May, going 15-for-34 (.441) with three doubles, four home runs, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored, and a 6:7 BB:K. The 29-year-old's .284 average may not stick, but coming off a 30-homer campaign in 2023 and with a 17.2% Barrel% in 2024, he looks to be well on his way to 30 again.
Oakland Athletics designated hitter Brent Rooker homered twice in Saturday's 20-4 rout of the Miami Marlins, going 3-for-4 with five RBI in the contest. Rooker also got on base once via the walk. The 29-year-old has some serious pop in his bat, blasting 30 home runs a season ago in just 137 games, and has eight through 22 games played this year while posting an elite 20.5% Barrel%. The former 35th overall draft pick is even hitting for average as of late, going 9-for-24 (.375) with two doubles, three home runs, 10 RBI, five runs scored, and four walks over his last seven games.

Oakland A's outfielder Brent Rooker enjoyed his coming out party in the 2023 season, providing massive value to fantasy managers who scooped him up off the waiver wire. In his age-28 season, Rooker hit .246 and slugged 30 home runs alongside an .817 OPS across 526 trips to the plate. He walked at a solid 9.2% clip, although he also punched out at a bloated 32.7% rate. Nonetheless, it wasn't the first time Rooker had down notable power as he clubbed nine homers in just 58 games for the 2021 Twins before seeing just 16 big-league games in the 2022 season. Home-run power is difficult to sustain at the Coliseum in Oakland as ATC projects a regression to 24 home runs in 2024. However, fantasy managers should be willing to take that figure along with another 21 doubles and four steals at his prevailing 293.28 ADP.
