Kevin Pillar News
New York Mets outfielder Kevin Pillar will not return to the team as both he and the club declined their sides of his mutual option Thursday. Pillar, who produced a .692 OPS with 15 homers, four steals, 40 runs, and 47 RBI in 325 at-bats this season, was perhaps most notable for being hit in the face by a Jacob Webb fastball on May 18. At this point in his career, Pillar is likely set for a part-time role as a right-handed bench bat and defensive replacement, leaving him off the fantasy radar wherever he ends up in 2022.
New York Mets outfielder Kevin Pillar went 2-for-3 with a walk in the Mets 4-3 loss to the Nationals on Monday. Pillar, who has been starting in centerfield for Brandon Nimmo (hamstring) who is currently on the 10-day injured list, has been red hot at the plate. Over his past eight games, Pillar is a blistering 11-for-23 (.478) with four home runs, 10 RBI, and seven runs scored. While he remains hot at the plate, Pillar should continue to see regular playing time over the duration of Nimmo's stint on the IL. Managers in need of some offensive boost over the next week should target Pillar in deeper formats. Pillar is also a solid play in DFS formats hitting in a Mets lineup that has finally found its way out of an August offensive slump.
New York Mets outfielder Kevin Pillar went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs, three runs scored, and was hit by a pitch in the Mets 5-3 win over the Nationals on Saturday. Pillar's two home runs were his second and third over his last five games played. Pillar has been a nice surprise for the Mets in 2021, serving as a utility bench player for the team. His 12 home runs are the third-most on the team, a statistic that not only shows the importance that Pillar has had to the team, but also the state of the Mets anemic offense in 2021. Overall, Pillar has hit .211/.253/.390 with 12 HR, 32 RBI, and 31 runs scored in 251 at-bats in 2021. Pillar can be ignored in most fantasy formats given his lack of consistent playing time and poor ratios. That said, he could be a sneaky DFS play on Sunday while he is swinging a hot bat and playing left field and batting seventh against the Nationals and right-hander Erick Fedde.
