Brent Rooker Goes Deep In Win Over White Sox
1 year agoOakland Athletics outfielder Brent Rooker added to his strong season on Thursday by homering in the team's 8-5 win over the Chicago White Sox. Rooker finished the game 1-for-4 with a solo home run, his 22nd of the season. Before 2023, Rooker's career-high for home runs was nine, set back in 2021 with the Minnesota Twins. The 28-year-old right-handed batter now has three home runs in his last five games, although he's batting .232 (16-for-69) with five home runs, two doubles, eight RBI and 11 runs scored in 20 games (18 starts) so far in the month of August. Despite playing for the last-place A's, Rooker has been useful in deeper fantasy leagues for his power and run production (55 RBI) in 359 at-bats.
