Fletcher went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs and an RBI in Friday's loss to Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Any concerns that Fletcher's scorching bat might cool off during the All-Star break were quickly laid to rest Friday when the infielder doubled to right field in his second trip to the plate. He went on to notch two more base knocks in the contest, including a ninth-inning single that plated a run. Fletcher was batting a pedestrian .255 on June 12; since then, he has collected at least one hit in 25 straight games, pushing his season average to .314 -- sixth-best in the American League.

Fletcher went 4-for-5 with a solo home run and four RBI in Sunday's 7-1 win over the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis

He later added a two-run single in the fifth and then drove in another run in the seventh to put the Angels out front 4-1. The 27-year-old has now notched a hit in 24 straight games dating back to June 13 with Sunday's performance being the cream of the crop. He'll head into the All-Star break slashing .309/.336/.381 with 19 extra-base hits, 32 RBI, 52 runs scored, four steals and a 14:37 BB:K over 354 plate appearances.

Fletcher went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in an 11-8 win over the Yankees on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Shohei Ohtani was plugged into the leadoff spot on the day he also started on the mound, so Fletcher was pushed to the fifth spot in the lineup. That didn't break his rhythm at the plate, as Fletcher's ninth-inning single extended his hit streak to 15 games. He subsequently stole second base and came around to score as part of a seven-run frame. Fletcher finished June with a .344/.378/.419 slash line, seven doubles and 17 runs.

Fletcher went 2-for-5 and scored a run while batting leadoff in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Prior to Sunday, Fletcher had slotted into the nine spot in the lineup in each game he played since May 15. Manager Joe Maddon decided to move him back up to the leadoff spot in the wake of Justin Upton's (back) recent move to the injured list and Fletcher's recent hot stretch. With his two hits Sunday, the versatile Fletcher extended his current hit streak to 12 games, during which he is batting .488 (21-for-43) with five doubles, nine runs and seven RBI. The torrid stretch has pushed his average up to .291 on the season, and Fletcher could stick in the leadoff spot as long as he continues hitting.

Fletcher went 3-for-3 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-3 win over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old knocked in a run with a sacrifice bunt in the sixth inning, and he added an RBI double in the eighth. Fletcher is on a six-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 12-for-21 (.571) with seven RBI, five runs scored and three doubles. The contact-hitting infielder has posted a .281/.312/.328 slash line with no home runs, 24 RBI, 38 runs scored and three stolen bases across 275 plate appearances overall. Given his recent surge, Fletcher has responded well to batting at the bottom of the order, although that gives him fewer chances to make an impact for fantasy managers.
