Kevin Pillar stays hot out of leadoff spot

Kevin Pillar went 3-for-5 with a run scored against the Red Sox on Tuesday. All three hits were doubles.

Fantasy Impact:

Pillar is now 8-for-18 with five extra base hits since he ascended to the top of the Blue Jays' lineup. Pillar struggled in 2016 but was an under-the-radar top-25 outfielder in 5x5 roto leagues in 2015, when he hit .278 with 12 HRs and 25 SBs. It remains to be seen whether Pillar will run a lot this season -- he's been caught in his only stolen base attempt thus far -- but if he does and sticks in the leadoff spot, he could become an intriguing option even in three outfielder leagues.
