Clubs homer in win Siri went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 1-0 win over the Athletics.

Impact Siri took Oakland starter Joey Estes deep in the eighth inning for the lone run of the game. Prior to Tuesday, Siri was 0-for-19 across his last eight games, a slump that had started to cost him playing time in center field. The outfielder is up to 15 homers through a career-high 105 contests this season, but he's slashing just .195/.268/.375 with 39 RBI, 41 runs scored and 12 stolen bases. Jonny DeLuca and Kameron Misner have most often replaced Siri in center field, though the Rays have not deployed a strict platoon at the position.

The center fielder is up to 12 steals on the season to go with 14 homers in 95 games, but he simply doesn't make enough contact to be a consistent fantasy contributor -- over 14 games since the All-Star break, Siri's slashing .213/.260/.362 with a 38.0 percent strikeout rate.
