Austin Riley doubles, scores twice in Sunday's win

Austin Riley went 2-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

Fantasy Impact

Riley picked up his sixth double to go with six homers and 16 RBI over 28 games since the All-Star break. The powerful third baseman has really picked his season up as the summer has moved forward. Riley is still striking out too much, but since the break, he ranks third among qualifiers in hard-hit rate (61.7%) and tied for first in barrel rate (23.3%). Riley should be starting in fantasy lineups down the stretch.

Austin Riley drills solo homer in three-hit night

Austin Riley went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, a double, and two runs scored in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Mets.

Fantasy Impact

Riley enjoyed a big night on Wednesday, hammering his 15th homer of the season and his sixth in 25 games since the All-Star break. Riley has really turned things around overall since the break, posting an .891 OPS with 16 RBI across 97 plate appearances. He is still striking out too much, but there's no arguing with the production.

Austin Riley drills solo homer in Friday's loss

Austin Riley went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo homer in Friday's 3-2 loss.

Fantasy Impact

Riley finished off a strong first week of August on Friday night, as he continues to try revive himself after a tough first half at the plate. The two-time All-Star has gone 8-for-20 with three doubles, two homers, and seven RBI over a half-dozen games so far this month. It's past time to get him back in fantasy lineups.

Austin Riley belts two-run homer in Tuesday's win

Austin Riley went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact

Don't look now, but Austin Riley might just be locking in for the stretch run. Since the calendar flipped to August, the two-time All-Star has gone 5-for-10 with a homer, two doubles, and four RBI. It's a small sample to be sure, but Riley is one to watch the next few days.

Austin Riley drives in a couple of runs Saturday night

Austin Riley went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Saturday's 8-3 win over the Nationals.

Fantasy Impact

Riley is still batting just .216 for the season and has struck out far too much (30.7%). He got the month of August off to a nice start, though, picking up his 15th double of the season while running his RBI total to 52 through 110 games. Riley is also sitting on a career-best seven steals.
