Esteury Ruiz Steals Another Base Monday
2 years agoOakland Athletics outfielder Esteury Ruiz went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and two strikeouts out of the leadoff spot in Monday's 7-2 loss to the New York Yankees in the Bronx. The 24-year-old Dominican speedster now leads the league with 17 stolen bases in 19 attempts on the year, and he's also hitting a solid .277 (38-for-137) with nine doubles, a triple, 16 RBI and 16 runs scored in 154 plate appearances over 36 games played. Ruiz has now reached base safely in 12 straight contests and has multiple hits in three of his last six games. He doesn't have much power, but Ruiz's on-base prowess and speed on the basepaths is extremely useful for fantasy managers in all formats. Ruiz has been one of the few bright spots for the A's so far in 2023.
