Tony Kemp News
Oakland Athletics outfielder Tony Kemp (ankle) is not in the starting lineup on Saturday against the Detroit Tigers. The veteran outfielder sprained his right ankle during Friday's contest so he's likely dealing with some soreness on Saturday. Rookie Lawrence Butler is getting the start in center field and Esteury Ruiz is taking over in left while Kemp gets this one off. Ruiz is a cheap speed option in DFS and is worth getting in your lineups whenever he's starting.
Oakland Athletics outfielder Tony Kemp (ankle) was forced from Friday's 8-2 win over the Detroit Tigers after sustaining a right ankle sprain. The 31-year-old suffered the setback after sliding into second base during the sixth inning and had to come out of the contest, but not before coming around to score on a three-run Shea Langeliers homer. Esteury Ruiz entered for him during the seventh inning, singling in two runs and swiping two bags during the ensuing frame. A's skipper Mark Kotsay hopes Kemp can return this season, but they could simply keep the veteran out of play for the end of a lost season. The on-base merchant is slashing .209/.304/.304 with five home runs, 27 RBI, and 15 stolen bases in 418 trips to the plate. The speedy Ruiz is batting .318 (14-for-44) with 12 steals since Aug. 30, so he should be worth rostering in shallow leagues for those categories to finish things up in 2023.
Oakland Athletics outfielder Tony Kemp did something in Thursday night's 8-5 win over the Chicago White Sox that he normally doesn't do, hit a home run. Kemp finished the game 2-for-4 with a home run a double, RBI and two runs scored. Outside of his 12 stolen bases this year, fantasy managers haven't gotten much out of the 31-year-old, as he's hitting just .217/.305/.321 with four homers, 13 doubles, three triples, 24 RBI and 36 runs scored in 347 plate appearances and 100 games in his fourth year in Oakland. He's been a bit better in the month of August, though, going 7-for-28 (.250) with a homer, three doubles, three RBI and three runs scored in 14 games (eight starts). Kemp can continue being ignored in mixed fantasy leagues.
