Brett Eibner

Brett Eibner finished 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI against the Mariners on Sunday. Eibner is 6-for-17 with three extra-base hits, three RBI, and five runs scored in July. He has a .932 OPS this season.

Fantasy Impact

Eibner is a role player for the Royals and is not worthy of a roster spot in full season leagues. However, he has a 1.207 OPS against left-handed pitchers this season and is a great value play when facing left-handers, like yesterday with Seattle's Mike Montgomery.

Eibner was recalled from Triple-A Thursday with Mike Moustakas (knee) going on the 15-day DL. Eibner is in the starting lineup Thursday as the designated hitter batting eighth.

Fantasy Impact

The 27-year-old Eibner will make his major league debut Thursday after hitting .309 with 10 home runs and 28 RBI in 41 games in Triple-A this season. Eibner should see the occasional start in the outfield or DH for the Royals and is worth considering in AL-only leagues.
