Ryan Sweeney went 1-for-2 with a run scored and an RBI in a losing effort against the Brewers on Friday. He also drew a walk in the contest, raising his still disappointing season slash to .205/.280/.227. While he's playing nearly everyday against right-handed pitching, he remains best used in deep NL-only formats.

Ryan Sweeney went 2-for-3 with a solo home run on Thursday against the White Sox. Sweeney hit his first homer of the spring in the second inning off of Felipe Paulino. Sweeney won't play everyday, but a majority of his plate appearances should come against right-handed pitching, making him a cheap match-up play in fantasy leagues.

Ryan Sweeney (knee) returned to Chicago's lineup Tuesday. Sweeney left Sunday's Cactus League game with right knee soreness. The 29-year-old outfielder is expected to be a key platoon player in Chicago's outfield after slashing .266/.324/.448 with six homers and 19 RBI in 70 games a season ago. He should intrigue NL-only sleeper-hunting owners.

The 29-year-old outfielder is expected to see semi-regular playing time in the Cubs outfield this season after slashing .266/.324/.448 with six homers and 19 RBI in 70 games a season ago. He makes for a decent late-round outfielder in deeper NL-only formats.

Cubs re-signed OF Ryan Sweeney to a two-year, $3.5 million contract with a $2.5 million option for 2016. It's a nice depth-building move for the Cubs, who got a decent .266/.324/.448 batting in 212 plate appearances this summer from Sweeney. The 28-year-old will likely serve as a fourth outfielder next season in Chicago.

Ryan Sweeney went 2-for-4 with a double in Monday's loss to the Marlins. Sweeney rejoined the Cubs on Sunday after missing more than two months with a fractured rib. The 28-year-old was off to a solid start prior to the injury and there's not much standing in his way, so he could have some value in NL-only leagues for the final month of the season.

Before the injury, his season had gotten off to a nice start, hitting .295/.342/.527 with four homers and 15 RBI in 44 games. He could be worth a look in deeper NL-only leagues depending on how his playing time shakes out.
