  4D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Hosmer went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and four RBI during Tuesday's loss in Oakland. Simply put, the 27-year-old is having an outstanding season.

He's played in all 119 of his team's games while posting a career-high .314 batting average and .186 ISO.

  Hosmer went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Monday's loss to St. Louis. Hosmer has quietly gone about his business this season to the tune of 18 homers, 61 RBI, six stolen bases, 68 runs and a .315/.371/.498 slash line. He doesn't have the power that the top-tier first basemen offer, but Hosmer's reliability and cross-category production are still extremely valuable.

  Hosmer was named the team's Player of the Month after slashing .379/.434/.592 over 103 at-bats in July, KFH Radio reports. Over 26 games in July, Hosmer ranked among the AL leaders in hits (39), RBI (21), runs (22), batting average and on-base percentage. The third baseman managed 14 multi-hit efforts, including a five-hit game on July 26 that included a grand slam. As a bonus, Hosmer doubled his season's stolen base total by swiping three bags last month. Now in his seventh big-league season, the 27-year-old's .877 OPS through 106 contests is well beyond Hosmer's career mark of .775.
