Austin Hays
CF,RF - BAL
Ownership
Eligibility
Austin Hays went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, a stolen base, and two runs scored in the win against the Red Sox on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Hays has been hot since getting called up in September when the rosters expanded. The rookie is hitting .313 with nine extra-base hits, four home runs, 12 RBI, two steals, and 12 runs scored through 19 games. Hays has a good chance of earning a starting spot in 2020.
Austin Hays went 2-for-5 and scored a run during a loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Hays is making a good impression after being a September callup by the Orioles from the minors when rosters expanded. The rookie is hitting .300 with four home runs and 12 RBI in 60 at-bats and has a good chance to win a role in the outfield in 2020 for the team.
Austin Hays went 1-for-6 with a two-run home run Saturday as the Orioles lost against the Mariners in extra innings.
Fantasy Impact
Hays has looked good since coming up to the majors this season. The 24-year-old outfielder is hitting 12-for-39 (.308) with two homers, four doubles, seven RBI, and a 5/4 K/BB ratio through 14 games.
Austin Hays' MRI on his left thumb revealed a mild sprain, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports. Hays suffered the injury sliding into a base Saturday in minor-league action.
Fantasy Impact
The injury is not as serious as originally thought and Hays will be out weeks not months as feared. Hays had a good spring with the Orioles but the team wanted him to being the year in the minors. It will only be a matter of time before he gets a spot on the major league roster.
The Orioles optioned Austin Hays to the minors on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
This was a bit of a surprise given Hays' pedigree and huge spring, as well as the dearth of reliable options for the Orioles. But it's worth remembering that the heralded prospect missed the majority of last season with an injury, and still has had limited at-bats in the minors. It's a strong bet that Hays will be up with the big club at some point soon, and he's worth a stash in deeper mixed leagues.
