• Athletics' Brent Rooker: Posts third straight 30-homer year

  09/19/2025 • By RotoWire

  Rooker went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 5-3 win over Boston. That makes it three long balls in Rooker's past five games, and Thursday's blast gave him his third consecutive 30-homer campaign. The slugging outfielder has been an excellent four-category fantasy contributor in 2025, hitting .267 with 87 RBI and 91 runs scored to go with a career-high 40 doubles over 599 at-bats. Rooker has benefitted significantly from seeing around half of his action at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park -- he has an .891 OPS at home versus a .779 OPS on the road.

  09/14/2025 • By RotoWire

  Rooker went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Saturday's 11-5 win over the Reds. Rooker had gone 11 games without a homer entering Saturday, batting just .204 (10-for-49) in that span. That was his longest power drought of the season, and it ended when he got the Athletics on the board in the second inning. The 30-year-old is up to 28 homers, 83 RBI, 89 runs scored, six stolen bases, 40 doubles, three triples and a .269/.340/.491 slash line over 149 contests this season. With two weeks left in the season, he has a reasonable chance of reaching the 30-homer mark for the third year in a row.
