Kelenic hits three-run homer in loss
Jarred Kelenic went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in a loss to the Nationals on Sunday. Kelenic was in the starting lineup on Sunday despite the Nationals starting a left-hander, and he has emerged into a full-time role with Ronald Acuna Jr. out. The home run was a no-doubter that traveled 413 feet at 107.8 mph. It was just his fourth of the season and now gives him 15 RBI to go along with a solid .265/.304/.417 slash line. You’re not likely to get consistent production from Kelenic, but he has gone 6-for-20 to start the month of June with five strikeouts in six games. If you’re in deeper formats and need a player who will be in a good starting lineup most days, Kelenic can fill that void.
Henderson hits 21st homer of the season
Gunnar Henderson went 3-for-5 with his 21st home run of the season on Monday, leading the Orioles to a 5-2 victory over the Rays. Henderson led off the contest with a gargantuan 430-foot moonshot to straightaway center field — his seventh leadoff homer of the season — to give the Orioles an early advantage and put him just three round-trippers behind Yankees superstar Aaron Judge, who leads the majors with 24 big flies. He also added a pair of additional hits, including a double, to cap off a stellar three-hit performance. It was his fifth three-hit effort of the year and 20th multi-hit game. The 22-year-old fantasy stalwart has been on an absolute tear since the start of June, batting .350 (14-for-40) with three homers and one steal over 10 games during that span.
