Fantasy Analysis
Iwamura started May with a .202 average, but since his nine-game tear, his average is back up to .253. He hasn't really made the type of offensive impact the Rays or Fantasy owners would have liked since he began his MLB career in 2007, but he is doing well at the plate right now. Iwamura remains more of an AL-only Fantasy option at this time. (Updated 05/11/2008).
Iwamura went 2-for-5 with a triple and an RBI, but the visiting Rays fell, 7-3, to the Boston Red Sox on Sunday. (Updated 05/05/2008)
