Oakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker is not in the lineup on Saturday against the Texas Rangers. Rooker has been a revelation for the lowly A's and fantasy managers that decided to add him to their rosters back in April. He slugged a walk-off home run in Friday's contest so the team is rewarding him with a day off on Saturday. For the year, the 28-year-old is slashing .319/.428/.673 with 11 home runs, 29 RBI, and a stolen base over 113 at-bats. He should be ready to rock for Sunday's series finale against Texas.--Jon Mathisen - RotoBaller

Athletics outfielder/designated hitter Brent Rooker went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Texas Rangers. He added a single and struck out twice. Rooker's eighth long ball of the season -- a two-run blast -- came in the top of the ninth inning to give the A's a 3-1 lead. The righty slugger has been hot of late, collecting three multi-hit efforts in his last four appearances and at least one hit in five of six. Over that stretch, he's 8-for-21 (.381) with four extra-base hits (three doubles), four RBI, and four runs scored. After swiping 11 bags a season ago, seeing him with a goose egg in that category is mildly disappointing. Still, the power is there, and he's underperforming his .285 xBA by nearly 30 points (.258).--Alex Ciulla

Athletics outfielder/designated hitter Brent Rooker will take a day off for the first time this season in Thursday's contest against the division-rival Texas Rangers. The left-handed-hitting Seth Brown will serve as the DH and will hit sixth against Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom. Brown has only faced deGrom twice in his career, but he did take him deep for a solo home run. Rooker is hitting .235 (24-for-102) on the year -- he's probably not going to be much of an average or on-base asset for fantasy managers -- but he does have seven long balls, 13 RBI and 15 runs scored in his first 24 games of the 2025 season. The 30-year-old power threat has been much more consistent of late, going 11-for-33 with three homers, a double and five RBI in his last eight games. Expect Rooker to be back in action for Friday's series opener against the Chicago White Sox.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

Athletics designated hitter Brent Rooker went 2-for-4 with a home run, walk, and an additional run scored in his team's 8-5 loss to the Texas Rangers on Tuesday. Rooker's seventh long ball of the season came off Rangers reliever Jacob Webb in the bottom of the eighth inning to cut the A's deficit to three, but that was the last run they could plate in the contest. The lefty slugger is starting to heat up, racking up four multi-hit outings across his previous seven appearances. Over that stretch, he's batting a cool .379 (11-for-29) with three home runs, one double, five RBI, and eight runs scored. Rooker has maintained his exit velocity (91.9 mph in 2025) figures while cutting his strikeout percentage (25.7%) by three points from (28.8%) in 2024.--Alex Ciulla

Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker came up clutch for his team during Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Rooker was quiet in this game until smacking a solo home run in the sixth inning to give his team the lead. The A's would hold onto the lead and take a 3-1 victory over Milwaukee. Rooker now has six homers on the season including two of them in his last three games. The veteran outfielder continues to be a must-start in all fantasy leagues.--Andy Webb - RotoBaller
