Kevin Pillar Stats

Atlanta Braves outfielder Kevin Pillar stole his first base of the season in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the visiting Miami Marlins. Pillar finished the day 1-for-2 with an RBI, a run scored and a walk as well. The 34-year-old's work on the defense should continue to earn him playing time in Atlanta, but it will be harder to come by now that Michael Harris II (back) has returned from the injured list. When Pillar does play, he'll likely remain near the bottom of the team's lineup, limiting his fantasy upside in DFS. Over his first 14 games and 47 plate appearances this season, Pillar is hitting .227 (10-for-44) with two doubles, a homer, five RBI, one stolen base and just four runs scored.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Kevin Pillar is not in the starting lineup for the first game of a series against the Miami Marlins on Monday. Pillar has seen everyday playing time in the last week, even against right-handed pitching, but he'll take a seat in this one. Eddie Rosario will get the start in left field and will hit fifth, while Marcell Ozuna is serving as the designated hitter and is batting seventh against Marlins right-hander Edward Cabrera. Pillar has seen more playing time for the Braves due to Ozuna's struggles at the plate, but the 34-year-old veteran outfielder hasn't done much better himself, hitting .211 (8-for-38) with a double, home run, three RBI and three runs scored over 40 plate appearances in 12 games.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kevin Pillar (shoulder) was expected to miss the rest of the season. However, the veteran outfielder will begin hitting progression in the next few days. Pillar has been sidelined since early June due to a fractured left shoulder. The hope is that Pillar can begin playing in minor league games within the next three or four weeks. There seems to be a chance of Pillar returning to the Dodgers lineup before the end of the regular season. Despite that, it's unlikely that Pillar offers much upside in terms of fantasy baseball. He'll be a nice addition as depth for the Dodgers playoff run, but fantasy managers can ignore him until further notice.
