Newsbreakers

September 30, 2009

David DeJesus is out of the lineup for the seventh straight game Wednesday, according to the Kansas City Star.

Our View:

The outfielder is dealing with the flu, and is expected to return to the diamond this weekend.

September 30, 2009

According to the Kansas City Star, Royals' outfielder David DeJesus missed his fifth straight game on Tuesday due to the flu. The team expects DeJesus to return to the team for their final series of the season against the Twins this weekend.

Our View:

DeJesus is reportedly feeling better, but there is no need for the team to rush him back this late in the season. Expect him to return to the lineup in the next few days, and for sure by this weekend.

September 17, 2009

MLB.com reports that David DeJesus is not in Thursday's lineup as he's suffering from a sore left knee.

Our View:

DeJesus is red hot right now, so it was a tough call for manager Trey Hillman to sit him, but the knee has taken some abuse lately and he badly needs a day off. DeJesus was hit on the knee by a pitch Wednesday and flipped in to the stands in Tuesday's game. He's in the midst of a 16-game hitting streak, so expect him back shortly.

September 12, 2009

David DeJesus went 2-for-3 in the leadoff spot Saturday night, but couldn't get enough offense going, as Kansas City lost 13-6 in Cleveland.

Our View:

With 12 home runs and 67 RBI in 136 games this season, DeJesus should establish new career highs in both categories. The 12 homers have already tied his best home run total, while the 67 RBI are just six short.

August 7, 2009

David DeJesus was productive in tonight's 9-4 loss to Oakland at Kauffman Stadium, as he went 3-for-5 with two RBI. He hit a single, double and a triple.

Our View:

DeJesus was in need of a solid performance, as he was 1-for-9 over his previous three games. He now has 51 RBI, ranking second on the Royals behind Billy Butler (54).

August 1, 2009

David DeJesus went 1-for-4 with a solo homer off Jeff Niemann, and recorded the Royals' lone RBI in Saturday's 7-1 loss at Tampa Bay.

Our View:

DeJesus has a four-game hitting streak, and ended a 16-game drought without a homer.

July 27, 2009

David DeJesus was held out of Kansas City's lineup on Monday with a sore right knee, according to MLB.com.

Our View:

The injury is nothing serious, and DeJesus is fully expected to be back in the Royals' lineup on Tuesday, when he'll go right back to being the fringe fantasy player that he was before.

July 17, 2009

David DeJesus led the way for the Royals' offense on Friday, but it wasn't enough as his team fell to the Rays by a score of 8-7. DeJesus went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored, and an RBI.

Our View:

DeJesus has been hot in July, and when he hits like this he can be a fantasy contributor. He can be hot and cold, so his value is still limited to AL-only leagues unless he keeps this up for an extended period of time.

July 9, 2009

David DeJesus went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer off Justin Masterson in tonight's 8-6 win at Boston.

Our View:

DeJesus hit his first homer of July, and his seventh of the season. He is hitting .351 (13-for-37) so far this month as well.

July 2, 2009

David DeJesus went 1-for-4 with a double, and recorded the Royals' lone RBI in tonight's 4-1 loss to the White Sox at Kauffman Stadium.

Our View:

DeJesus is riding a five-game hitting streak, with three RBI over the span. He is only hitting .245 for the season, but is worth employing in fantasy lineups while hot.

June 28, 2009

David DeJesus homered and drove in two on Sunday in the Royals' 3-2 win over the Pirates. DeJesus was 1-for-4 in the game.

Our View:

There wasn't a whole lot of offense in the game, but DeJesus provided most of the Royals' share with one swing of the bat. DeJesus has been a bit of a disappointment this season, but he has the ability to be a solid fantasy option. Until he starts to heat up, it may be best to stay away, however.

June 18, 2009

David DeJesus went 3-for-5 with four RBI in Thursday's 12-5 loss to Arizona at Kauffman Stadium. He had a single, double and a triple.

Our View:

DeJesus enjoyed his best outing of June despite the loss, and has a hit in nine of his last 10 games.

May 17, 2009

David DeJesus went 2-for-4 with a triple, a double, and two runs scored as the Royals came back to defeat the Orioles 7-4 on Sunday.

Our View:

DeJesus has struggled at the plate this season and he has been dropped to seventh in the order. He is carrying a mere .286 OBP, but we fully expect him to raise his numbers going forward. He has five hits in his last three games.

May 4, 2009

David DeJesus made a big impact at the plate on Monday, going 2-for-4 with a home run. He now has three homers on the year.

Our View:

DeJesus has some value in AL-only leagues, but for now he is limited to only that. He has the potential to put up decent numbers, but right now he is just average in fantasy circles.

May 1, 2009

David DeJesus is back in the Royals' lineup Friday after missing the last two games with back stiffness.

Our View:

DeJesus is off to a slow start this season, but he still holds some value if he can get it turned around at the plate. He has two home runs and nine RBI so far this season.

April 21, 2009

David DeJesus was 2-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored as the Royals lost in Cleveland 8-7.

Our View:

DeJesus has hit two home runs and collected five RBI in his last two games. He looks like he has broke out of his early season slump and should be in line for some nice production as the No. 3 hitter in the Royals lineup.

April 19, 2009

David DeJesus went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and a run scored in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Rangers.

Our View:

DeJesus has struggled with the bat to start the season, but hopefully today's performance will get him going. Despite his early season slump, the Royals have stuck with him as their No. 3 hitter.

February 25, 2009

David DeJesus went 1-for-2 on Wednesday in the Cactus League.

Our View:

DeJesus was a productive player in fantasy in 2008, batting .307 with 12 home runs and 73 RBI.
