Billy Cook

Takes advantage of rare start

Cook went 3-for-4 with a triple, two RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base Sunday against the Guardians.

Analysis

Cook was in the lineup for only the fourth time since returning to the majors on June 10, and he took advantage of the opportunity. He played a key role in the Pirates' early offensive production, recording an RBI or a run scored in three of the first six innings. While it was a nice showing, Cook isn't a viable fantasy option due to his lack of playing time.
