Cheslor Cuthbert News
Kansas City Royals corner infielder Cheslor Cuthbert went yard in Thursday's game against the Tigers to give him eight big flies on the season in just 238 plate appearances. Cuthbert was originally called up this year to fill in for Hunter Dozier while he was on the Injured List, but he's proven to have enough sticking power that he seems to have won a regular spot. He's especially been heating up over the last two weeks, hitting safely in 12 of his last 14 games with two home runs and a handful of RBI and runs scored. Cuthbert is no world-beater, but a solid hitter with a bit of pop that can be found on most waiver wires could be just what the doctor ordered to complete a playoff push.
Kansas City Royals infielder Cheslor Cuthbert ripped his sixth home run of the season into the left-center seats on Thursday afternoon, getting the scoring started for the Royals. Cuthbert's blast continued his trend of hitting more balls out of the park even though he's hitting more grounders than ever. Cuthbert's previous career-high of 12 home runs in a season may be in jeopardy if he keeps this up, but it took him more than 500 plate appearances to reach that number in 2016. He's only at 152 plate appearances so far this season. He'll either need to keep hitting them out at a brisk 15% HR/FB rate or he'll need to start lifting the ball more often. Either way, Cuthbert should only draw mild interest in deep leagues.
Kansas City Royals infielder Cheslor Cuthbert racked up two more hits and another RBI to keep his hot streak going on Monday. Since the All-Star break, Cuthbert has knocked in five runs in just 15 at-bats spanning four games. His two singles on Monday night helped guide KC to the win, and he's proven to be a valuable partner with Hunter Dozier to swap off corner infield duties. Cuthbert's now hitting .290 since getting called up on the last day of May to fill in for Dozier while he was on the Injured List, and he seems to be swinging a hot bat right now. He's unlikely to be a long-term fantasy solution, but there's plenty of lineup space for a guy hitting like this.
