Brent Rooker's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker continued his stellar campaign during Thursday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The 29-year-old took Bryan Woo deep in the fifth inning and then homered off Andres Munoz in the ninth inning to cap off a four RBI day for Rooker. He has been hitting everything at the plate as he extended his hitting streak to nine games on Thursday. Rooker is slashing .298/.372/.587 with 35 long balls and 97 RBI this season. Fantasy managers can continue to ride his bat into the postseason.

Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker homered and knocked in three runs on Saturday in a 9-5 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. It was his 30th home run, matching his total from 2023. The veteran outfielder is hitting .289 with 30 home runs, 87 RBI, seven stolen bases, and 62 runs scored. After hitting 11 home runs in July, Rooker has cooled some in August, hitting .269 with four home runs and 10 RBI. The star will remain a mainstay down the stretch for Oakland, and he will look to continue his great season in the series finale on Sunday against veteran Frankie Montas.

The Oakland Athletics placed designated hitter Brent Rooker on the paternity list on Wednesday and recalled infielder Armando Alvarez from Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move. The club also outrighted left-hander Kyle Muller to Vegas after he cleared waivers. Rooker will most likely miss the final two games of the series in New York against the Mets, but he should be back at some point this weekend in Oakland to face the visiting San Francisco Giants. Miguel Andujar is serving as the A's DH on Wednesday and will bat second, while Darell Hernaiz is making another start at third base while batting eighth against Mets left-hander David Peterson. The 29-year-old Rooker has been Oakland's best hitter in 2024, slashing .293/.367/.583 with a .950 OPS, 29 homers, 83 RBI and seven steals in 105 games. Fantasy managers will be without him the next few days.
