Ryan Vilade went 1-for-3 with a home run, one run scored and three RBI in Monday's 10-9 loss to the Detroit Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
Vilade entered Monday's game in the fourth inning after Chandler Simpson exited with a mouth injury. He made the most of his opportunity, going deep with a 438-foot home run in the sixth inning while logging three at-bats. Vilade has seen just 79 at-bats this season but has been productive when called upon, posting a .278 average and .808 OPS. With Simpson expected to return on Tuesday, Vilade is likely to continue seeing limited playing time.
Ryan Vilade went 3-for-3 with a triple, one walk, a run scored and three RBI in Monday's 16-6 win over the Baltimore Orioles.
Fantasy Impact
Vilade reached base safely four times on Monday, setting a new season high. He has been locked in at the plate over his last three games, going 6-for-9 with two extra-base hits, two walks, two runs scored and four RBI during that span. With the way he has been swinging the bat lately, Vilade should continue to see regular starts moving forward.
Ryan Vilade went 2-for-4 with a home run, one walk, one run scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact
With left-hander Patrick Corbin toeing the rubber for Toronto, Vilade drew the start in left field and hit cleanup. He made the most of the matchup, reaching base three times and capping it with a 390-foot solo blast in the seventh. He's slashing .281/.339/.439 across 57 at-bats this season and figures to keep seeing most of his starts against southpaws.
Ryan Vilade went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Monday's 5-1 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact
Vilade drew the start with left-hander Eric Lauer on the mound for the Toronto Blue Jays and took full advantage, launching a 413-foot home run to left-center field. He was later pinch-hit for in the fifth inning when right-hander Spencer Miles entered, but still made the most of his two at-bats. Vilade owns a .286 AVG and .738 OPS with one home run across 42 at-bats this season. He will need more consistent playing time before being worth consideration as a waiver wire pickup.
Ryan Vilade went 0-for-1 with a walk and one stolen base in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Chicago White Sox.
Fantasy Impact
Vilade drew the start at first base and hit fifth in the order, but played just four innings before being replaced by Jonathan Aranda as a pinch hitter. In limited action, he made his presence felt on the basepaths, recording his first MLB stolen base. He is slashing .238/.304/.286 across 21 at-bats this season and remains best left on waivers until he sees more consistent playing time.
