Player Notes

August 30, 2008
Akinori Iwamura went 3-for-5 and scored three runs in Saturday's 10-9 win over Baltimore. He hit two doubles and a single.

Our View:He has scored three runs in back-to-back outings, and extended his hitting streak to eight games.

July 13, 2008
Akinori Iwamura collected two walks but went 0-for-3 today, and is just 5-for-25 in his last seven games. He struck out in all three of those at-bats.

Our View:Iwamura gets on base enough to justify him batting leadoff, but he'll need to raise that average for him to have legitimate fantasy value in anything other than AL-only leagues.

July 8, 2008
Akinori Iwamura extended his hitting streak to 11 games on Monday with a double off the center field wall against the Royals, according to the Tampa Tribune.

Our View:He has four multi-hit efforts over the streak, with five doubles, one triple, one homer, nine runs, and eight RBI. Keep him active as a starter while he is hot.

July 1, 2008
Akinori Iwamura has returned from his three-game suspension and he will bat leadoff for the Rays in their tilt against Boston, according to the Tampa Tribune.

Our View:If you have Iwamura on your roster, tonight is a great night to get him back in the lineup. He is hitting .421 in his career against Red Sox starter Time Wakefield.

June 27, 2008
Akinori Iwamura's appeal of his three-game suspension was denied by MLB, this according to the St. Petersburg Times. The Rays second baseman will begin the penalty phase starting Saturday.

Our View:An official announcement is expected later today on the leagues official decision.
