Fantasy Impact

Rodriguez is in the starting lineup on Friday despite colliding with the wall on Thursday.

Julio Rodriguez went 2-for-4 in the Mariners' 3-2 win over the Astros, scoring once and stealing two bases.

Fantasy Impact

While Rodriguez didn't contribute any RBI or extra-base hits, his ability to get on base and create scoring opportunities with his legs was on full display. The young outfielder's season has been solid, maintaining a .265 batting average and now boasting 13 stolen bases. His speed remains a significant asset in fantasy formats, particularly given his consistent ability to turn singles into additional bases. Rodriguez should be viewed as a valuable contributor in runs and stolen bases, with potential for growth in other categories if he can cut down on strikeouts and tap into more power.

Julio Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Mariners' 3-1 loss to the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact

While Rodriguez's solo shot provided a brief highlight, his overall season performance remains a mixed bag. With a batting average of .252 and only three homers over 53 games, his power numbers are somewhat underwhelming, especially for fantasy managers who drafted him expecting more consistent production. His strikeout rate remains high at 0.281, and a low walk rate of 0.054 doesn't help his case for being a top-tier fantasy outfielder. However, his speed with nine stolen bases and a decent BABIP of .347 suggest there might still be potential for improvement as the season progresses. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on any signs of increased contact or power, which could make Rodriguez a more valuable asset.

Julio Rodriguez has been moved down to sixth in the Mariners lineup on Thursday against the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact

Rodriguez recently had an eight-game hitting streak snapped and is hitting .272 in May, but he has just two home runs on the season and his overall power has not been up to expectations so far this season. It should come as it did later in the year last season.

Julio Rodriguez went 2-for-5 with a run scored in the Mariners' 4-3 victory over the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

Despite managing to cross the plate once, Rodriguez's performance was marred by a trio of strikeouts and a lack of extra-base hits or RBIs. This season, Rodriguez has maintained a .269 batting average, but his power numbers have been modest with only two homers to his name. His strikeout rate remains a concern at 0.287, indicating a potential area for improvement as the season progresses. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his contact quality and plate discipline, hoping for signs of growth in these areas to boost his overall fantasy value.
