56 Kole Calhoun RF

Calhoun went 3-for-4 with a home run and a pair of runs scored in Thursday's 8-6 loss to Texas.

Calhoun recorded his second three-hit contest over the last four games, contributing his 17th long ball in the process. The 30-year-old continues his second-half surge, slashing .321/.409/.607 with four homers in 56 August at-bats.

Calhoun went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-2 loss to the Rays.

He's reached base in 11 straight games since the All-Star break, hitting .357 (15-for-42) with five homers, 10 runs and 15 RBI over that stretch. Calhoun now has 14 home runs on the year and his slash line continues its climb towards respectability after his brutal first half, now standing at .211/.271/.391.

Calhoun went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Rays.

Calhoun has risen from the ashes in July, slashing .322/.378/.759 with 10 homers and 25 RBI following an abysmal first three months of the season (.162/.216/.224). The 30-year-old's recent hot play and placement atop the order against righties has restored his status as a viable mixed-league fantasy outfielder.

Calhoun went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a game-ending solo home run to send the Angels to a 4-3 extra-inning victory over the Mariners on Friday.

The outfielder walked it off in this contest, touching up Juan Nicasio with a solo blast in the bottom of the 10th inning to send the Angels to the victory over their division rivals. It continued what has been a resurgent stretch for Calhoun following his dreadful start to the season, as his average is now finally above the Mendoza Line at .201. It'll take a while for him to fully dig out of the early-season hole, but his recent hot streak leaves hope he'll be able to do so.

Calhoun led off and went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and a stolen base in Thursday's 12-8 win over the White Sox.

Calhoun's first-half struggles have been well documented (.187/.237/.319 prior to the All-Star break), but he has really turned things around with a .300/.354/.729 slash line and eight homers in 19 July contests. The veteran outfielder altered his batting stance at the end of June, and his more-compact approach at the plate has provided immediate dividends. Calhoun has taken over leadoff duties against righties, helping boost his upward-trending fantasy value.
