Athletics' Esteury Ruiz: Homers in return
Ruiz hit a solo home run in his lone plate appearance in a loss to the Cardinals on Monday.
Ruiz was recalled from Triple-A prior to the contest and entered as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning. He produced Oakland's only run of the game when he smashed a 406-foot solo shot off Cardinals reliever JoJo Romero. It was a bit baffling when the A's sent Ruiz to the minors April 1, as he had gone 3-for-7 with a stolen base over his first three games. He played well during his Triple-A stint, slashing .326/.423/.581 with seven thefts in eight tries and showed more than his usual amount of power with three long balls. He probably isn't going to suddenly become a home-run hitter, but that's fine with most fantasy managers who hung onto him during his demotion -- after Ruiz racked up an AL-leading 67 thefts as a rookie last year, he figures to be a difference-maker in that category (if given enough playing time) now that he's back in the big leagues.

Athletics' Esteury Ruiz: Back in big leagues
Ruiz was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Ruiz has been officially promoted after being spotted in the clubhouse earlier in the day. He's been performing well at Triple-A, hitting .326 with three homers, eight RBI and seven stolen bags in 11 games.

Athletics' Esteury Ruiz: Spotted in Oakland clubhouse
Ruiz was spotted in the Athletics' clubhouse Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Ruiz has not yet been officially recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas, but it could be coming. J.D. Davis (hip/groin) is expected to be sidelined for at least a few days and could be an injured list candidate. Ruiz has a 1.004 OPS with three home runs and seven stolen bases over 11 games since his demotion to Las Vegas. Given his stolen base upside, he would immediately land back on the fantasy radar if he's recalled, although it's not clear how often the A's would plan to play him.

Athletics' Esteury Ruiz: Hitless in first minors game
Ruiz started in center field for Triple-A Las Vegas in its win over Sugar Land on Wednesday, going 0-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts.
The uninspiring start to what Ruiz and his fantasy managers hope will be a brief stay on the farm does nothing to ease concerns about the outfielder's short-term outlook. Ruiz's recent demotion was a somewhat curious one, considering he'd opened the major-league season by going 3-for-7 with a double, a triple, an RBI, a stolen base and two runs over his first three games; however, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports the Athletics wanted Ruiz to continue getting consistent at-bats with the Aviators since Oakland was slated to face plenty of right-handers in coming weeks. Additionally, general manager David Forst noted that while Ruiz did display improvements in exit velocity this spring, he still needs to get on base on a more consistent basis against big-league arms in order to maximize his greatest asset, that being his electric speed.

Athletics' Esteury Ruiz: Optioned to minors
Oakland optioned Ruiz to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.
Ruiz started just two games during Oakland's four-game set against the Guardians to open the season. Though he hit leadoff in those two contests and went 3-for-7 with an RBI and a stolen base, it wasn't enough to save his spot on the big-league roster. His demotion to the minors is a big hit to fantasy managers who used an early draft pick on Ruiz this spring with the anticipation that he would be a major source of stolen bases. The Athletics will replace Ruiz on the 26-man active roster with infielder/outfielder Tyler Nevin, whom the team claimed off waivers from the Orioles.

Athletics' Esteury Ruiz: Makes impact out of top of order
Ruiz went 2-for-4 with a triple, a stolen base and two runs in a win over the Guardians on Sunday.
Ruiz started in only two installments of the season-opening four-game set against Cleveland, but he managed to make an impact in each of those contests. Sunday, he one-upped the 1-for-3, one-RBI effort he'd put together Friday, swatting his second extra-base hit of the campaign and pulling off one of his signature steals after setting a new AL rookie record with 67 stolen bases in 2023. Ruiz is technically stuck in a rotational role in the outfield for the time being, but he may certainly force manager Mark Kotsay's hand if his hot hitting persists.
