Pillar went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, five RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 10-4 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Pillar was a one-man wrecking crew in this one, as his career-high five RBI were enough to outscore the entire Arizona lineup. The majority of his damage -- a two-run homer and a two-run double -- came in the first three innings, although he added an RBI single in the seventh as well. Pillar had just one hit in his previous 18 at-bats and will look to draw momentum from this performance heading into the next series in San Diego.

Pillar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's extra-inning loss to the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Pillar has been unconscious at the plate, slashing .410/.425/.718 with four homers, 14 runs, 10 RBI and two steals over his last ten games. The veteran outfielder put together a power/speed binge over a short period of time earlier this year, and appears to be in the midst of one yet again. Pillar is worth a look universally while his bat is on fire, but his .242 average, nine homers and eight steals overall have been good enough for deep and NL-only owners over the course of the season.

Pillar went 2-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two runs scored and four RBI in Friday's 11-5 win over the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
He and Alex Dickerson combined to drive in 10 of the Giants' 11 runs, forming a surprisingly potent duo from the bottom half of the order. Pillar is now slashing a tepid .249/.277/.415 since joining San Francisco, but his recent performance has been much improved -- through 18 games in June, he's got a .309/.319/.544 line with three homers, two steals, 12 RBI and 14 runs.

Pillar went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
After homering in consecutive games, Pillar kept the good times rolling with another strong fantasy line. The 30-year-old is still hitting a meager .228 on the season, but his career-low .239 BABIP (.289 career BABIP) indicates that he has been experiencing some poor batted ball luck. If Pillar is able to eventually get that average back up to a tolerable .240-.250 range, then his modest power/speed combo (eight homers and eight steals) would become viable in deeper formats.

Pillar went 3-for-3 with a solo home run, two runs scored, and two stolen bases in Friday's 5-3 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Pillar's fifth-inning homer restored a one-run lead for the Giants, and he scored again in the seventh inning on a two-run shot by Mike Yastrzemski. The speedy outfielder is up to eight homers and eight steals this season despite an on-base percentage of .265 in 62 games.

Pillar went 1-for-4 with a home run in Wednesday's win over the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
Pillar got the Giants on the board with a solo shot to deep left field against Joey Lucchesi in the second inning. Despite getting off to a powerful start this season, the long ball marked Pillar's first since May 7 against the Rockies. Overall, the 30-year-old has tallied seven home runs, 27 RBI and 25 runs scored while batting just .225/.255/.362.

Pillar will head to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pillar will catch a breather after picking up a base knock in each of his last three games. Mike Yastrzemski moves over to right field and Tyler Austin gets the nod in left with Pillar on the bench.

Pillar went 2-for-4 with a pair of doubles and two runs Saturday in the Giants' 8-2 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Pillar had only managed one extra-base hit in his previous 14 games before doubling twice in the penultimate game of the series in Baltimore. The 29-year-old remains locked into a full-time role in the San Francisco outfield, but his lack of power and lowly .220 batting average have rendered Pillar more of an NL-only play than a genuine mixed-league asset. He'll start again Sunday, batting sixth while manning right field, per Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com.

Pillar went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's comeback win over the Braves.
EDGE Analysis
Pillar's early season power binge came to an expected halt. The 30-year-old has just one long ball in 17 May contests (.203/.227/.313), but he has provided 10 runs and three steals to help keep his deep-league status afloat.

Pillar isn't in Friday's starting lineup against the Reds, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pillar will get the night off after collecting a pair of hits in Thursday's series finale against the Rockies. Steven Duggar draws the start in center field and is set to bat eighth.
