Reds outfielder JJ Bleday went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI as part of a 7-6 win over the Guardians on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Bleday doubled and scored in the second, singled in the sixth, and doubled and scored again in the eighth. He also knocked in the game-winning run on a force out in the top of the ninth. The former first-round pick has been electric since being promoted to the big club in late April, as he's slashing .345/.465/.776 with six homers, 12 runs, 19 RBI, and a stolen base across just 17 games on the season.
JJ Bleday went 3-for-5 in a win over the Nationals with two home runs, two runs scored, and six RBI.
Fantasy Impact
Bleday continues an explosive stretch at the plate, driving in runs in eight of his last 10 games. The 28-year-old remains one of the more dynamic bats for manager Terry Francona in an inconsistent Reds lineup, slashing .321 with six home runs, 10 runs scored, and 18 RBI across 16 games.
JJ Bleday went 2-for-4 with a home run and three runs scored in the Reds 17-7 loss against the Pirates on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Bleday took reliever Chris Devenski deep for a two-run homer in the sixth inning. He is off to a strong start since being recalled.
Reds outfielder JJ Bleday hit his first homer of the season in an 8-3 loss to the Tigers on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Promoted from Triple-A Louisville on Saturday, Bleday started in left field and homered and walked before being lifted for the righty-swinging Dane Myers on Sunday. The 2019 fourth-overall pick had a nice season with the A's in 2024, hitting 20 homers with 74 runs, 60 RBI, and .761 OPS in 159 games, and would be a fine fit in the hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park if he could find that form in the 2026 campaign.
The Reds recalled OF JJ Bleday from Triple-A Louisville.
Fantasy Impact
Bleday takes the spot of Eugenio Suarez in the majors after he was placed on the injured list. He figures to see some starts at designated hitter.
