Andruw Monasterio - Reaches four times in win Monasterio went 2-for-2 with a double, two walks and a steal in Monday's victory over the Reds.
Impact The 26-year-old reached the majors for the first time this year, and he has proven to be a valuable utility player, posting a .292 batting average and .382 OBP over 102 PA while making at least five starts at each of the three infield positions left of first base. He is not doing a lot for fantasy players outside of the batting average category, but he is getting regular playing time at the moment, starting nine straight games at the hot corner.
