Raimel Tapia Stats

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia is absent from Tuesday's starting lineup to take on the Washington Nationals, according to MLB.com. Tapia has given fantasy managers a .273 batting average with 20 SBs, but he has little power (six home runs, .369 slugging). Garrett Hampson will take his spot in the outfield and bat leadoff. Hampson, like Tapia, has speed with 17 steals but doesn't provide anything else with the bat as he's slashing .239/.295/.388 with 11 HRs over 143 games. However, with left-hander Patrick Corbin on the bump for the Rockies, he's a good streaming option with a strong .837 OPS off southpaws, especially in the leadoff spot.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia went 2-for-5 with a run scored and a strikeout in a 7-2 lopsided loss to the San Francisco Giants. Tapia got the things going for Colorado in the bottom of the first inning with a single and a run scored. They would go on to score two runs in the opening frame but would get shut out the rest of the way. Tapia has largely struggled at the plate since getting activated from the IL in late August. Overall, he's slashing .274/.328/.372 with six home runs, 49 RBI, and 20 stolen bases over 457 at-bats. The home runs and stolen bases are both career bests for the 27-year-old.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in a 7-5 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday. Tapia's only hit was an impressive one as he turned on a Max Scherzer offering with Kyle Freeland aboard in the fifth inning. The result was a two-run homer to right field that gave the Rockies a 5-3 advantage. The lead wouldn't last and it was Tapia's only hit of the ball game. The 27-year-old was on his way to a stellar season before a big toe injury in early August sidelined him for three weeks. He's struggled to get things going since his activation from the IL and now owns a .272/.327/.372 batting line with six home runs, 49 RBI, and 20 stolen bases over 452 at-bats.
