by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com

Joyce went 2 for 3 with two singles before leaving the game and is batting .252. He's day to day for the Rays. Joyce has hits in four of his last five games with two homers and six RBI over that span.

| Matt Joyce starting to come around in May |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(11:04 am ET) Rays outfielder Matt Joyce is starting to heat up in May.
Joyce's average is only .265 during the month, but he's been a strong on-base threat, and is showing improved power. Joyce has three home runs this month, but has also added four doubles, bringing his slugging percentage to .531 during the month.
Joyce will continue to be platooned, and will only face righties. He's been a significantly better hitter against righties over his career, with a .266/.357/.501 slash line in 1,219 at-bats.

| Matt Joyce stays true to himself |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5/19/13) Rays outfielder Matt Joyce was frustrated Saturday by Baltimore's exaggerated shift used against him defensively, MLB.com reports.
"The shift is tough," Joyce said. "After the first at-bat, I came in and told Joe [Maddon] I'm probably going to try and hit the ball to left field. And he said, 'No, just be you. Stay who you are. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll find the holes.'"
Joyce doubled twice by the end of Saturday's game. He also homered and drove in five RBI.
"That's what I talk about all the time. I just want him to be himself," Maddon said. "That's what we try to do to other teams. Don't let them do that to us. I always talk to our guys about dictating to the other side. I don't want them to dictate to us. So just be yourself. Go up there and swing the bat like you can, and it's all going to come back to you."

| Matt Joyce has two double and a home run in win |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(5/18/13) Rays right fielder Matt Joyce had three of his team's 10 extra-base hits in a 10-6 win over the Orioles Saturday night, including two doubles and his seventh home run. He drove in a team-high five runs.
It was the first three-hit game of the season for Joyce, who has hit .279/.380/.512 in 43 at-bats in May.

| Matt Joyce terrible against lefties |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5/6/13) After playing in five of the previous six games, the Rays gave outfielder Matt Joyce a game off Monday against Toronto with left-hander Mark Buehrle on the hill.
Joyce is batting an ugly .067 against left-handed pitchers this season over 15 plate appearances.
Hitting .243 overall on the season, Joyce has gone 8 for 31 (.258) over his last eight games with four homers and seven RBI.

| Matt Joyce is one of those frustrating players in Fantasy who show a world of potential when used in a limited role, but fail to live up to expectations with more exposure. Joyce appeared in only 180 games over his first three major league seasons, and in that time, he clubbed 25 home runs over 490 at-bats. The Rays have given Joyce more extensive playing over the last two seasons, but his power production has fallen short of his earlier pace, as he has hit 36 homers in 861 at-bats. At least in 2011, Joyce showed some potential to hit for a decent average, batting .277, but that mark fell to .241 last season. He has also continued to struggle to hit against lefties, making the argument to keep him in the lineup every day a harder one to accept. While Joyce has shown enough power to be useful in deeper mixed leagues and AL-only formats, it's time for owners in standard mixed leagues to stop waiting for the breakout. (Updated 1/2/13) |
