He's struggled across the last week of action, collecting only four hits across 24 at-bats while striking out 10 times. Overall, Hayes' results remain mediocre, though his .144 ISO is the highest mark in any of his full seasons in the majors.

What we learned in MLB this week: The A's still belong to Oakland

Career night at the dish Friday Hayes went 5-for-5 with two doubles, four RBI, three runs scored and one steal in Friday's 14-7 win over the Mets.

Impact Hayes had himself a night Friday, tying career-highs with five hits and four RBI in a 14-7 win. The young third basemen had been tweaking his approach at the plate since last week at the end of their road trip, and it has certainly paid dividends. Over his last 29 at-bats since, he has a scorching .516 average (17-for-29) to go along with two home runs and nine RBI with just three strikeouts.

Three hits, triple in loss Hayes went 3-for-5 with a triple and a run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Athletics.

Impact Hayes now leads the league with five triples on the season. He's been on fire at the plate following a sluggish start to the year -- he's hit safely in seven straight games, going 14-for-28 (.500) with a double, two triples and two home runs in that span. Hayes' hot streak boosted his slash line to .250/.295/.404. He's added four homers, 24 RBI, 30 runs scored and six stolen bases across 244 plate appearances this season.

Goes yard again Saturday Hayes went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Cardinals.

Impact He got the Pirates on the board in the fifth inning by taking Jordan Montgomery deep, marking the first time in Hayes' career he's homered in back-to-back games. The 26-year-old third baseman has only four homers on the season and just 22 in 311 career big-league games despite athleticism that made him a first-round pick in 2015, but it is possible his power is beginning to emerge -- his 13.0 degree launch angle, 39.8 percent flyball rate and 92nd percentile average exit velocity are all career highs, pointing to a player who is making a concerted effort to reach the seats more often.

Swats third homer Hayes went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and four RBI in Friday's 7-5 win over the Cardinals.

Impact The third baseman had the big blow in a six-run seventh inning for the Pirates, clubbing a three-run shot off Giovanny Gallegos on a first-pitch hanging slider. Hayes has five hits and six RBI over the last two games, but offensive highlights have been few and far between for him in 2023 -- he's slashing .231/.281/.375 with three homers, six steals, 23 RBI and 27 runs in 54 contests.

Snaps hitless streak Hayes went 2-for-5 with a triple and two RBI on Wednesday against the Giants.

Impact Hayes delivered a two-RBI triple in the third inning to snap a three-game hitless streak. Even with the productive day, he's struggled mightily across his last 15 starts by hitting only .175 with a 26.6 percent strikeout rate. He's salvaged his line in that span by driving in 10 and scoring five runs. Nevertheless, Hayes has gone from the Pirates' primary leadoff hitter to regularly batting fifth or sixth.

JUNE 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Idle for series opener Hayes is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Giants.

Impact Rodolfo Castro will step in at third base in place of Hayes, who looks to be receiving a routine maintenance day. Hayes had started in 19 consecutive games dating back to May 6 but hit just .213 with six extra-base hits and three stolen bases during that span.

MAY 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Goes yard in win Hayes went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 11-6 win over the Mariners.

Impact Hayes had one of the Pirates' seven homers in the contest, which was his first since April 15, a span of 34 games without a long ball. The third baseman has long underwhelmed for power from the hot corner, but two homers in 49 contests is tough to justify in fantasy. Hayes is slashing .231/.287/.360 with 17 RBI, 26 runs scored and six stolen bases through 202 plate appearances. There's not much momentum here -- he has just four hits across his last six games, though three of them have gone for extra bases.

MAY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Drops in order Hayes went 3-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored Friday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Hayes hit fifth in the order against right-handed pitching for the third consecutive game, though he responded with his third multi-RBI game of the season. Even after collecting two doubles, he's slugging just .309 since the beginning of May, spanning 15 games and 55 at-bats. As has been the case for much of his big-league career, most of Hayes' fantasy value comes from scoring runs and stealing bases.

MAY 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Swipes two bases Hayes went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two steals in Sunday's 10-1 loss against Toronto.

Impact Hayes picked up his first stolen base since April 18 after drawing a walk in the first inning before swiping a second bag in the sixth. The 26-year-old third baseman has gone 4-for-8 in his last two games following a 5-for-27 stretch. Hayes is now slashing .242/.300/.359 with a homer, 9 RBI, 20 runs scored and five stolen bases in eight attempts. While his offensive production has been modest thus far, Hayes' strikeout rate is down to 12.1 percent from 21.8 percent last season, giving some reason for optimism.

MAY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets day off Friday Hayes isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.

Impact Hayes holds just a .490 OPS over the past week, so he'll get a day off Friday to regroup. Rodolfo Castro will move to third base in Hayes' absence, allowing Tucupita Marcano to start at shortstop and bat eighth.

MAY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Getting breather Thursday Hayes is not in the lineup Thursday afternoon against the Dodgers, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

Impact It's a routine day off for Hayes as the Pirates wrap up this three-game series versus Los Angeles. Drew Maggi will play third base and bat eighth. Tucupita Marcano is hitting leadoff.

APRIL 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Hitting for extra bases Hayes went 2-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Dodgers.

Impact Hayes came to bat with runners on first and second in the second frame, and he ripped a double down the third base line to drive in both. He now has five multi-hit efforts in his last 10 starts, during which he's hitting .333 with six RBI and 10 runs scored. Though Hayes has only one homer on the campaign, he has a .151 ISO through 101 plate appearances -- a 50-point increase over the 2022 season.
