Randy Arozarena's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena and shortstop J.P. Crawford are both taking the day off on Thursday in the series finale against the division-rival Oakland Athletics at the Oakland Coliseum. Victor Robles will start in left field and bat leadoff, while Leo Rivas will make the start at the 6 and bat ninth against A's right-hander Joey Estes. This will be just Arozarena's second day off with Seattle since they acquired him at the end of July from the Rays. He's been a bit better in Seattle than he was in Tampa earlier this year, batting .238 (29-for-122) with three homers and 12 RBI in his 34 games played. Crawford, meanwhile, has a hit in each of his last two games but has gone 2-for-24 with five strikeouts in seven games since returning from an IL stint on Aug. 28. Robles has been a new hitter since joining the M's and will be a nice sleeper target in DFS in the leadoff spot on Thursday.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena put together a strong revenge game in Wednesday afternoon's win over the visiting Tampa Bay Rays at T-Mobile Park, putting up three hits and a home run in the victory. Arozarena sent a solo homer over the wall in center field to extend the Mariners' lead to 6-2 in the eighth inning on Wednesday against the Rays. The streaky 29-year-old left fielder has been more of the same since landing in Seattle, but overall, he's slashing an improved .242/.385/.394 with three big flies, 10 RBI, 20 runs scored, and four stolen bases through 99 at-bats (28 games) with the M's. His fantasy upside the rest of the way will remain capped, however, by a pitcher-friendly home ballpark and a poor Seattle lineup.

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena's three-run homer in Monday's 5-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays was his first in August and only his second since being traded by the Rays on July 26. Arozarena's home run was his only hit in three at-bats. He is hitting .213/.331/.385 with 17 homers, 46 RBI, and 63 runs scored along with 20 stolen bases in 28 attempts. Arozarena's power-speed combination and modest OBP keep him in most lineups. However, fantasy managers find it harder to justify having him in their lineups during the worst season of his career.
