Cody Ross hit a three-run homer in Tuesday's win against the Rays. The 32-year-old finished 1-for-4. Ross hit .301 with three homers and 12 RBI in July, and he's been even hotter in August, going 9-for-21 (.429) with two homers and six RBI. The lefty masher is best suited as part of a platoon in daily fantasy leagues.

Cody Ross had a big night against his former team on Friday, going 4-for-5 with a home run, three RBI, two runs scored, and a stolen base in a 7-6 win over the Red Sox. After expressing frustration about offseason negotiations with the Red Sox earlier in the day, Ross did all the talking with his bat in this one. He had an RBI single in the third inning, a run-scoring double in the fifth, and a solo homer in the seventh. The 32-year-old has been very productive since the start of July, but he's best utilized against left-handed starters in fantasy leagues.

Cody Ross said Red Sox GM Ben Cherington "lied to my face." "They told me that they didn't want to sign guys to long-term deals, and then they gave [Shane] Victorino a three-year deal, and then [Mike] Napoli a three-year deal or four-year deal, whatever it was [later shortened to a one-year deal after health issues popped up]," Ross said. "So, basically they lied to my face. At that point, I kind of got a bad taste in my mouth and wanted to move on, and that was it." The guess here is that Cherington never had any intention of offering Ross a long-term deal and said what he could to appease the veteran outfielder and allow him to move on. In any case, it's never a good look to air dirty laundry to the local media the first time a player returns to his former city.

Cody Ross went 3-for-5 with two RBI against the Rays on Wednesday. Ross provided three of the Diamondbacks' 14 hits on the night, and he drove in a pair of runs in the first inning with a bases-loaded single off Jeremy Hellickson. The 32-year-old is batting .268/.326/.384 with 32 RBI in 85 games for Arizona this year. He's part of a crowded Diamondbacks outfield, so he can't be relied on as an everyday option outside of NL-only leagues.

Cody Ross went 2-for-5 and hit his sixth homer Friday against the Diamondbacks. Ross has always had big lefty-righty splits, but he's taken it to a new level this year; he actually has more hits in 99 at-bats against lefties (37) than in 180 at-bats against righties (36). Four of his six homers have also come against lefties, and his OPS is about 430 points higher versus southpaws. With Adam Eaton back, the Diamondbacks should be benching him against right-handers most days.

Cody Ross had a go-ahead solo homer in the 13th inning Monday against the Mets. The Diamondbacks went on to lose anyway, but Ross did his best to play here. He also doubled and walked in the game. The homer was just his fourth in 216 at-bats this season. Last year, he had 22 in 476 at-bats for the Red Sox.

Cody Ross has been dealing with contact issues due to the dry climate in Arizona. Ross paid a visit to the eye doctor, who evidently fixed the issue, as the outfielder launched a pinch-hit three-run homer Wednesday. Perhaps he's due for a hot streak with his vision issues behind him.
