Fantasy Impact

Fernandez finished with a pair of singles for his first multi-hit game since going 3-for-4 against San Diego on April 26. His stolen base was his fourth of the year, and is now 4-for-5 in steal attempts.. Fernandez snapped a 2-for-25 skid over his prior nine appearances, leading up to his two-game game on Saturday. He is hitting .274 with three home runs, 13 RBI, and four stolen bases in 37 games this season.

Jose Fernandez went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and three runs scored on Sunday, helping the Diamondbacks to an 11-7 victory over the Padres.

The rookie continues to rake at the major league level, taking San Diego starter Michael King deep in the fifth inning for his third home run of the year. It was his first round-tripper since going deep twice in his major league debut on March 31. Fernandez has had three multi-hit efforts in his last four games and is batting .342 (26-for-76) with three home runs and 12 RBI through 22 games.

Jose Fernandez hit cleanup for the Diamondbacks on Sunday and went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI as the Diamondbacks defeated the Phillies, 4-3, in Philadelphia.

Fantasy Impact

The rookie, who batted cleanup for the first time in his young career, had a pair of singles on Sunday, including a game-tying RBI single off of Phillies' reliever, Jose Alvarado, in the top of the eighth. He scored the go-ahead run later in the inning on a single from Adrian Del Castillo. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo continues to get Fernandez in the lineup since his call-up, and he has responded by hitting .333 (12-for-36) with two home runs and seven runs batted in through 11 games. He hit his two home runs in his major league debut and, after a mini 1-for-12 skid, has now hit safely in five straight and has gone 8-for-20 (.400) during the stretch.

Jose Fernandez went 0-for-4, but stole his first career base on Sunday as the Diamondbacks defeated the Braves, 6-5, in 10 innings.

Fantasy Impact

Fernandez reached base on a fielder's choice against Braves' reliever, Tyler Kinley, in the bottom of the sixth and then swiped second to get into scoring position with two outs. He stole a career-high 12 bases at Double-A Amarillo so he will run occasionally, but is not a tremendous threat to steal. Fernandez went 3-for-4 with a pair of home runs in his major league debut on Tuesday but, since then, has gone just 1-for-12. Fernandez served as Arizona's designated hitter on Sunday after playing two games at first, one at third, and one at short to begin the season. Arizona is moving him around the diamond to get his bat in the lineup, but he needs to get back on track in order to stay in a near-everyday role.
