Description: Phillies center fielder Ben Revere has gone 11-for-16 (.688) over the last four games, including 3-for-5 Saturday. | Insight: It's about time Revere got going. His value is still limited because he has no power at all (six extra-base hits), but if he can get his average back to the .290 to .300 range, fantasy owners can start taking advantage of his speed (16 steals). | | |

Description: Phillies center fielder Ben Revere has picked up three hits in two of the last three games. | Insight: Revere is hitting .260 after going 3-for-5 with a double and two runs Tuesday against the Marlins. The outfielder's strikeout rate is up, and his line-drive rate is way down from last season, when he batted .294. | | |

Description: Phillies beat writer David Murphy of the Philadelphia Daily News wrote Friday that "the sense before last night's game was the center field will be a night-by-night proposition for the foreseeable future." | Insight: Ben Revere missed Thursday's game with a swollen finger, but Murphy thinks that Revere would have been in the lineup if he was hitting well. The center fielder is batting .204 with a .471 OPS and likely will split time with John Mayberry Jr. until he picks up his average. | | |

Description: Philadelphia center fielder Ben Revere will miss Thursday's game with a swollen ring finger on his right hand. SOURCE: Jim Salisbury, CSNPhilly.com | Insight: Revere jammed his finger diving into second base Wednesday night. He's only hitting .204 this season and has just one extra-base hit. | | |

Description: Philadelphia center fielder Ben Revere won't be available for Friday's game versus the Mets. He's been battling a quad injury. | Insight: Aside from the occasional stolen base, Revere (.207, 0 HR, 4 RBI, 5 SB) hasn't been very productive in his first year with the Phillies. John Mayberry (.255, 1 HR, 4 RBI) will grab the start in center field. | | |

Description: Phillies center fielder Ben Revere was not in Thursday's lineup and is questionable for Friday's game against the New York Mets with a sore quad. | Insight: Revere is offering little to fantasy owners except stolen bases. He's batting just .207 with an ugly .472 OPS and no longer bats at the top of the Phillies lineup. | | |

Description: Phillies center fielder Ben Revere is not in Thursday's lineup. He's just getting a day off. | Insight: Revere's strikeout rate is up from 9.8 percent in 2012 to 15.1 percent in 2013, and his line-drive rate is down to a meager 11.4 percent, which is why he is only batting .207. He has hit 75.7 percent groundballs and is batting just .189 on grounders (10-for-53) after hitting .247 on grounders last year. | | |

Description: Phillies center fielder Ben Revere went 2-for-5 with a stolen base Sunday against Miami. | Insight: Revere is just 12-for-50 (.240) this zero extra-base hits this season, and he has struck out nine times in 12 games after fanning 54 times in 124 games last year. He does have five steals, however. | | |

Description: The Phillies have reportedly acquired outfielder Ben Revere from the Twins. SOURCE: Todd Zolecki, MLB.com | Insight: Revere hit .294 with 40 steals last season. He has no pop but makes a lot of contact. He's the second starting outfielder Minnesota has sent to the NL East in the past week, with Denard Span going to Washington. | | |

Description: Minnesota right fielder Ben Revere holds a .389 lifetime average versus White Sox starter Jake Peavy. | Insight: Revere (.297) is 0-for-11 over his last three starts but we're predicting a breakthrough Sunday against Peavy (10-11, 3.27 ERA). | | |
| 9/13/2012 4:03:00 PM |
Description: Twins outfielder Ben Revere is a .400 career hitter against Royals starter Luiz Mendoza. | Insight: Revere (.301) is a good hitter for average and fast enough to bunt his way on so it wouldn't be surprising if he posted a three or four-hit game Thursday against Mendoza (7-9, 4.63 ERA). Just don't expect any home runs. Revere has still never hit one in 920 major league at bats. | | |

Description: Minnesota outfielder Ben Revere kept his hitting streak alive with a four-hit effort Monday versus Cleveland. | Insight: All four of the hits were singles, which is typical of the slap-hitting Twins outfielder. Obviously Revere's slugging percentage isn't off the charts, but it's tough for fantasy owners to complain when he's hitting .481 for the month and .364 since the All-Star break. Revere will try to extend the streak to 21 games on Tuesday. | | |
| 8/4/2012 10:48:00 PM |
Description: Minnesota outfielder Ben Revere extended his hitting streak to 18 games with three hits in five at-bats Saturday against the Red Sox. | Insight: Revere is an elite speed option, posting 26 steals and a .323 batting average in 72 games this season. As long as you receive power production from other parts of your fantasy lineup, Revere can help out. | | |
| 8/1/2012 4:57:00 PM |
Description: Minnesota rightfielder Ben Revere used a pair of hits Wednesday to increase his hitting streak to 15 games. | Insight: Since June 1, Revere is hitting .324 with 19 RBIs and 21 SBs. | | |
| 8/1/2012 12:15:00 PM |
Description: Look for Twins outfielder Ben Revere to extend his hitting streak to 15 games Wednesday against the White Sox. He's a .417 lifetime hitter against righthander Jake Peavy. | Insight: Revere's power is basically nonexistent (no homers in 759 career at bats) but he is getting hits and has always been a stolen base threat (24 thefts in 69 games this season). Expect Revere (.317, 0 HRs, 20 RBIs) to continue wreaking havoc Wednesday versus Peavy (8-7, 3.15 ERA) and the first-place Chi Sox. | | |

Description: Twins outfielder Ben Revere extended his hitting streak to 12 games with a two-hit game Sunday. Revere also stole two bases. | Insight: Revere (.315, 24 SB) is a high-contact speed demon who won't help at all in power or run production. However, it helps that the outfielder isn't just a one-trick pony like some other stolen base options, as he provides a solid batting average at the very least. | | |
| 7/29/2012 10:30:00 AM |
Description: Twins outfielder Ben Revere had one of his better games of the season Saturday in a win over the Indians. He finished the night with three hits and two RBIs. | Insight: Revere (.313, 0 HRs, 18 RBIs) will look to extend his hitting streak to 12 games on Sunday. | | |

Description: Minnesota outfielder Ben Revere went 4-for-4 with two steals Friday against Cincinnati. | Insight: Revere came in having gone 0-for-12 in his last three games. Friday's performance raises his average to .320 and he now has 14 steals. Clearly, Revere is going to run whenever he gets on base, so hopefully he can keep picking up hits. | | |
| 5/17/2012 1:47:00 PM |
Description: Ben Revere has been recalled from Triple-A Rochester. | Insight: Revere isn't an overly impressive player (evidenced by the fact that he's spent time in Triple-A this season) but his elite speed (34-43 on stolen base attempts last year for the Twins) makes him an interesting fantasy possibility. If you can live with his mediocre batting average (.262 in 136 career games) and his complete lack of power (0 HRs in 496 major league at bats), Revere can definitely help you if you need steals. | | |
