Steven Souza Jr. (OF, ARI) - Week 20 Waiver Wire Pickups rotoballer.com Sun 8/12/18 7:21 AM

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues OWNED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Steven Souza Jr. appears to be turning the corner and turning into the 30 home run/16 stolen base player that they traded for this spring. Unfortunately, Souza suffered a pectoral muscle strain in spring training that kept him out for most of the first half (he initially came back in May, but played poorly and landed back on the disabled list with the same injury a few weeks later). No matt[...]

Week 20 Waiver Wire - Outfielders (OF) rotoballer.com Sun 8/12/18 3:01 AM

Greetings, Rotoballers! After an unexpected two week absence, I've returned to the top of the waiver wire mountain to give you, my people, the names you need for fantasy glory. Like manna from heaven, I bring you cheap homers for nothing more than your undying affection. Ok, so that metaphor is a little too much. Ok, a lot too much. But make no mistake Rotoballers, I bring you the goods. Need an outfield-eligible utilityman to plug the holes in your lineup, I gotch'u. Need some dingers in you[...]

Steven Souza Jr. Out on Friday rotoballer.com Fri 8/3/18 2:45 PM

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Steven Souza Jr. (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Francisco Giants. Souza will get a day off after playing in four straight contests. Jon Jay will lead off and play right field against righty Chris Stratton. Jay is hitting .391/.417/.522 over the last week, so he's a decent bet for DFS contests on Friday.

Steven Souza Jr. (OF, ARI) - Week 19 Waiver Wire Pickups rotoballer.com Fri 8/3/18 10:19 AM

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of leagues ANALYSIS: Coming off a career year in which he hit 30 home runs and stole 16 bases while putting up solid run production, Steven Souza Jr. was a popular late-round target in drafts this spring. Being traded from Tampa Bay to Arizona over the winter figured to only boost his value, even with the installation of a humidor at Chase Field. Unfortunately, Souza suffered a pectoral muscle strain in spring training that kept him out [...]

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Steven Souza Jr. Went 3-for-3 with a walk, an RBI, and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Cubs. Souza also reached base after being hit by a pitch.

Steven Souza Jr. Hits First Home Run As A Diamondback rotoballer.com Sun 7/8/18 6:10 AM

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Steven Souza Jr. went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 20-5 win over the Padres on Saturday night. Souza hit his first dinger in style, banging a 450-foot moon shot off the bottom of the center field scoreboard. This may be the spark Souza Jr. needed, as he has struggled to hit all season long. If Souza finally stays healthy, expect a healthy mix and speed and power to go along with his poor batting average.

Steven Souza Jr. Records First Hit Since Activation From DL rotoballer.com Sat 7/7/18 7:40 AM

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Steven Souza Jr. went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Padres. This was Souza's second straight game in the lineup and first hit since his five-week stint on the disabled list. [...]

Steven Souza Jr. Goes Hitless In Return rotoballer.com Fri 7/6/18 6:59 AM

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Steven Souza Jr. went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Padres. As he has all season long, Souza struggled to put the ball in play and now holds a 27.5 percent K-rate on the season. It will likely take Souza Jr. a few games to get up to speed after multiple lengthy DL stays. However, if fully healthy he will need to compete with Jon Jay, David Peralta, and, eventually, Jarrod Dyson for starts in the outfield. Souza and Peralta [...]

Steven Souza Jr. Activated From Disabled LIst rotoballer.com Thu 7/5/18 2:21 PM

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Steven Souza Jr. (pectoral) was activated from the disabled list prior to Thursday's game against the Padres. Souza is slotted to bat fifth in the lineup, between A.J. Pollock and Ketel Marte. Hitting behind Pollock and Paul Goldschmidt will give Souza plenty of RBI opportunities if he is able to improve on his .163 season average. Souza will play in right field, replacing David Peralta. There has been no indication of how the outfield hierarchy will play ou[...]

Steven Souza Jr. To Play Outfield In Rehabilitation Game rotoballer.com Mon 7/2/18 3:58 PM

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Steven Souza Jr. is set to play in the outfield during Monday' rehab game in Triple-A Reno. Prior to Monday's game, Souza has exclusively played DH, going 2-for-3 with two triples and two RBI in his last outing. If he does not suffer any setbacks, expect Souza to be activated by the weekend. His spot in the lineup is in question as the excellent table-setting provided by Jon Jay has made it difficult to bench him.
