JJ Bleday

Reds outfielder JJ Bleday went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, an additional run, an additional RBI, and a walk in a 11-5 win over the Phillies on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Bleday was one of several Reds to enjoy a banner evening on Wednesday, slugging a solo homer as part of a four-homer fourth inning that broke this one open. Bleday also singled and scored in the sixth inning. Despite a monster season, Bleday has cooled off a bit, as his homer and multi-hit effort on Wednesday were both firsts since June 15. Nonetheless, the former first-round pick is slashing .239/.348/.482 with 14 homers, 32 runs, 39 RBI, and three stolen bases across 63 games this season.

Reds outfielder JJ Bleday went 2-for-4 with a homer, four RBI, and an additional run scored in a 12-0 rout of the Mets on Monday.

After homering in a loss to the D-backs on Sunday, Bleday made it two straight games with a long ball when he capped the evening's scoring with a three-run shot in the bottom of the eighth in Monday's blowout win. Bleday's additional RBI came on a bases-loaded walk as part of a six-run second inning for the Reds. The long ball was Bleday's 13th of the season, as he's now slashing a hearty .272/.367/.586 with 13 homers, 26 runs scored, 34 RBI, and two stolen bases across 43 contests on the season.

Reds outfielder JJ Bleday went 1-for-3 with a solo homer in a 5-3 loss to the D-backs on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Bleday's solo shot to right field in the first inning kicked off the scoring in this one, but the Reds would muster just two more runs of offense on the afternoon. The long ball was Bleday's 12th of the season and his second over his last four games. His bat has cooled down at least a little bit since a scorching-hot start to his season following a late-April promotion to the big leagues, but Bleday's .266/.361/.570 slash line with 12 homers, 24 runs, 30 RBI, and two stolen bases has made him one of the biggest fantasy surprises of the season.

Reds outfielder JJ Bleday went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 9-2 loss to the Royals on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Bleday got the Reds on the board early in this one, hitting a first-inning solo shot off Royals starter Luinder Avila. Unfortunately, Royals outfielder Lane Thomas had already hit a grand slam in the top half of the inning in an eventual blowout win for the visitors. Nonetheless, Bleday stayed white-hot in this one as he's slashing .301/.398/.655 with 10 homers, 19 runs, 27 RBI, and a stolen base across just 31 games this season.

Fantasy Impact

Bleday was the lone source of the Reds' offensive output on Saturday, taking Braves left-hander Martin Perez deep for a two-run home run in the second inning. He collected two of his team's five hits on the day as he continues to rake since his promotion to the big leagues in late April. The former first-round pick is slashing .295/.395/.629 with nine home runs, 18 runs, 24 RBI, and a stolen base across 29 games this season.
