Swipes seventh base Monday Kemp went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a loss to the Rangers on Monday.
Impact Kemp extended his on-base streak to nine straight starts with Monday's production. The veteran's steal was also a long time coming -- he'd last pulled off a successful pilfer July 1 -- and he's now just two swipes away from tying the career-high nine he recorded in 2018.

Drives in three Kemp went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and three RBI Wednesday against the Angels.
Impact Kemp was one of the few sources of offense for the Athletics on Wednesday, as he came to the plate with the bases loaded in the seventh inning and managed a bases-clearing double. Since the All-Star break, Kemp has hit .283 with 11 RBI and five runs scored across 52 plate appearances. He should remain a regular in Oakland's lineup against right-handed pitching, but overall he has just a 77 wRC+ and .269 wOBA in 101 games for the season.

Hits two doubles Kemp went 3-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in a 4-2 win over the Astros on Wednesday.
Impact Kemp's RBI double in the fifth inning cashed in the Athletics' third run of the game and helped his team become the first to sweep the Astros in 2022. The three-hit game from the two-hole lifted Kemp's season-long average to .216. His career batting average is .241 and his 2022 BABIP is .243, so it is possible that the veteran's numbers continue to normalize over the remainder of the season.

Homers in second straight Kemp went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double, two total runs and three total RBI in Monday's 7-0 victory versus Houston.
Impact Kemp put Oakland on the board with his solo shot to right field in the third inning, and he knocked in two more runs with a double in the fourth. This was his second straight contest with a long ball following a 20-game homerless streak between June 26 and July 22. Power has never been a big part of his game, so fantasy managers in need of homers shouldn't seek him out despite the recent results.

Homers as in-game replacement Kemp entered Sunday's loss to the Rangers as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and went 1-for-2 with a solo home run.
Impact Kemp was originally slated for a day off with southpaw Martin Perez on the hill for the Rangers, but the veteran made good use of his impromptu opportunity by blasting his third homer of the season in the ninth inning. The round tripper was a rare taste of offensive success for Kemp in July, and even factoring in Sunday's production, he still owns an abysmal .128/.196/.234 slash line across 51 plate appearances during the month.

Impact Detroit is bringing a left-hander (Tarik Skubal) to the hill for the early game, so the lefty-hitting Kemp's absence from the lineup doesn't come as a major surprise. The righty-hitting Chad Pinder will spell Kemp in left field for the matinee.
