Jimmy Rollins hit an inside-the-park two-run homer, leading the Phillies to a 6-0 victory over Stephen Strasburg and the Nationals on Tuesday.
The electrifying two-run homer off Strasburg was his only hit in five trips to the plate. While his .250 average doesn't jump off the page, he's provided the consistent across the board production in the counting stats that fantasy owners anticipated when calling his name in March. He now has 10 homers, 38 RBI, 59 runs scored and 17 stolen bases.

Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com reports that the Dodgers have some interest in Jimmy Rollins.
Rollins has a no-trade clause, but it's possible he'd be willing to waive it to go to a team in California, where he is from. It's not clear if the Phillies would be willing to part with the shortstop, but if they decide to go into sell mode, they'll likely at least entertain offers.

Jimmy Rollins stayed hot Monday, doubling and belting a two-run homer in a win over the Pirates.
He's now homered in four straight days. Rollins was dreadful in April and May, but he's really turned things around in June, batting .327 with six longballs. His batting line for the year is at a still-disappointing .268/.317/.417, but he's certainly trending in the right direction.

Jimmy Rollins went 4-for-5 with a pair of doubles and two RBI in Tuesday's 11-7 loss to the Twins.
It's difficult to sugarcoat Rollins' .251/.300/.359 line, but he's gone 20-for-59 (.339) with seven extra-base hits since May 29. Prior to that, he'd smacked just five extra-base hits in his first 24 games. Things are looking up.

Jimmy Rollins went 3-for-5 with a home run, three RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 10-6 win over the Mets.
He took Ramon Ramirez deep for a three-run shot in the ninth. The bomb was just Rollins' second of the season, though the swipe was his 10th. Regardless, there's still no sugarcoating the .239/.294/.308 line J-Roll is currently sporting. He'll end May with just seven extra-base hits in 26 games.
