Raimel Tapia Stats

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles, an RBI, a walk, a stolen base, as well as a caught stealing in the 4-3 loss to the Giants on Saturday. After starting the season as the leadoff batter, Tapia has now hit sixth in back-to-back games. He singled in Charlie Blackmon to put the Rockies on the board in the fourth inning and stole second in the same frame. He walked later in the sixth inning but was nabbed trying to steal second again. Tapia has picked it up at the plate lately after a slow start to begin the year so perhaps moving down in the batting order has served as a catalyst He's now working on a mini three-game hitting streak. For the season, the 27-year-old is slashing .258/.281/.355 with one home run and four RBI over 31 at-bats. Fantasy managers should stick with him as he's a career .284 hitter and sees consistent at-bats while playing half of his games in the friendly confines of Coors Field.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia went 1-for-3 with a single in a 3-1 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Friday. Giants' starter Johnny Cueto held the Rockies offense down over 8 2/3 innings, limiting them to just four hits and one run. It could have been the Coors Field hangover for the Rockies as they opened the year with seven straight home games before opening up this series vs. the Giants. Tapia dropped to sixth in the batting order on Friday after batting first or second in his first five games. It's unclear if this will be a new spot for him or manager Bud Black was just trying to mix things up. Either way, the 27-year-old has scuffled at the plate to begin the season with a .214/.214/.321 batting line to go along with one home run and three RBI over 28 at-bats. He's yet to draw a walk or steal a base as well. He's still roster-worthy in deeper mixed and NL-only leagues but his fantasy value would take a hit if he starts hitting towards the bottom of the order.
