Description: White Sox outfielder Alex Rios has faced Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie 50 times and collected 15 hits, including three doubles and two homers. | Insight: The two used to play in the AL East, which explains why Rios has so many at-bats against Guthrie. After a torrid start, Rios is 12-for-67 (.179) with zero multi-hit efforts over his last 18 games, but a familiar face on the mound could help him get it going. | | |
| 4/28/2013 9:10:00 AM |
Description: White Sox outfielder Alex Rios is a career .500 hitter (8-for-16) against Tampa Bay ace David Price with a pair of homers and a 1.704 OPS. | Insight: Rios started the season on fire, but has cooled of late, batting just .167 over the past seven days.

| Hot | 4/21/2013 10:31:00 AM |

| Hot | 4/17/2013 11:00:00 PM |
Description: White Sox outfielder Alex Rios went yard Wednesday for the fifth time this season. | Insight: Rios is batting .351 with nine RBIs, nine runs and three steals through 15 games to quickly eliminate any concerns that he would have a letdown after last season's excellent all-around campaign. | | |
| 4/15/2013 12:50:00 PM |
Description: White Sox outfielder Alex Rios is just 3-for-23 (.130) against former teammate Mark Buehrle with a .428 OPS. | Insight: Rios (.372, 4 HR, 8 RBI) is off to a flying start, but after homering in four consecutive games through April 9, has gone without a long ball in his last five games. This is an unfavorable matchup. | | |
| Hot | 4/9/2013 11:07:00 PM |
Description: White Sox outfielder Alex Rios has homered in four straight games. | Insight: Rios (.304, 25 HR, 91 RBI, 23 SB) had one of his best seasons in 2012, primarily out of the fifth hole, and he has batted third in every game this season. He's batting .407 this season. | | |
| Hot | 4/6/2013 6:07:00 PM |
Description: White Sox outfielder Alex Rios has homered in two straight games and picked up a hit in all five games this season. | Insight: Rios (.304, 25 HR, 91 RBI, 23 SB) had one of his best seasons in 2012, primarily out of the fifth hole, and he has batted third in every game this season. Hitting in front of the patient and powerful Adam Dunn should give Rios plenty of chances to steal and score runs. | | |
| 2/25/2013 12:15:00 PM |
Description: According to Daryl Van Schouwen, White Sox right fielder Alex Rios will bat in the third hole this season instead of Adam Dunn. | Insight: Rios (.304, 25 HR, 91 RBI, 23 SB) had one of his best seasons in 2012, primarily out of the fifth hole. He could be even more valuable hitting higher in the order if he can repeat last year's statistics. | | |
| 10/2/2012 4:11:00 PM |
Description: White Sox right fielder Alex Rios is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game with Cleveland. | Insight: Rios (.304, 25 HR, 91 RBI, 23 SB) is having one of his best seasons, but after playing 157 of 160 games is likely pretty tired and with the team eliminated from postseason on Monday night there is no reason to play any of the regulars. | | |
| 9/23/2012 10:50:00 AM |
Description: White Sox right fielder Alex Rios can't be trusted Sunday against Angels starter Jered Weaver. In 22 at bats, Rios has just four hits against the Los Angeles righthander. | Insight: Rios (.301, 24 HR, 87 RBI) is coming off of a three-hit performance but we're not expecting him to enjoy that kind of success Sunday with Cy Young candidate Weaver (18-4, 2.79 ERA) on the mound. | | |
| 9/17/2012 9:20:00 AM |
Description: Chicago outfielder Alex Rios is 7-for-14 with a 1.105 OPS against Detroit starter Doug Fister. | Insight: Rios has put together one of his best seasons, batting .293 with 23 HR, 86 RBI and 21 SB. This is a must start matchup. | | |
| 9/12/2012 9:45:00 AM |
Description: Chicago outfielder Alex Rios is just 3-for-22 (.136) with eight strikeouts in his matchups with Detroit starter Max Scherzer. | Insight: Rios has put together one of his best seasons, batting .293 with 23 HR, 85 RBI and 20 SB, but this matchup is one to be avoided. | | |
| 9/8/2012 9:21:00 AM |
Description: Chicago outfielder Alex Rios is a .205 career hitter against Royals starter Bruce Chen. | Insight: Rios hit two homers and drove in six runs two days ago but he's been otherwise ineffective in the past month. Saturday would be a good day to sit him. | | |
| 9/5/2012 9:13:00 PM |
Description: Chicago outfielder Alex Rios came into Wednesday hitting .217 with two homers and 24 strikeouts in his last 29 games, but he broke out with two homers and six RBIs against the Twins. | Insight: Rios is a streaky player so hopefully this is a sign that he's going to put together another month like June (.346, 6 HRs, 16 RBIs) or July (.333, 6 HRs, 22 RBIs). | | |
| 8/26/2012 11:22:00 AM |
Description: Chicago outfielder Alex Rios is hitting an excellent .375 against Mariners starter Kevin Millwood. | Insight: Rios (.303, 20 HR, 73 RBI) has also demonstrated a nice power stroke versus the veteran righthander, exploding for seven RBI in 24 at bats. Make sure Rios is in your lineup on Sunday. | | |
| Cold | 8/24/2012 10:02:00 AM |
Description: White Sox outfielder Alex Rios is just 2-for-11 (.182) against Seattle hurler Jason Vargas. | Insight: Rios has been an excellent value this season, batting .301 with 20 HR, 72 RBI and 18 SB, but he's struggled over the past two weeks batting just .192 and this unfavorable matchup isn't likely to help. Sit him on Friday. | | |
| Cold | 8/19/2012 9:44:00 AM |
Description: White Sox outfielder Alex Rios is just 2-for-26 (.077) in his last six games, but Sunday's matchup might provide the spark to get his bat going. Rios will oppose a pitcher he has always had success against, Jeremy Guthrie of the Royals. | Insight: Guthrie has shockingly thrown 15 straight scoreless innings in winning his last two starts, but Rios is 12-for-38 (.316) with two doubles, two homers and five RBIs against the Royals starter. | | |
| 8/18/2012 3:36:00 PM |
Description: White Sox outfielder Alex Rios may be having a career year, but he may have some trouble contributing Saturday against Royals starter Bruce Chen. | Insight: Rios is contributing in all fantasy categories, hitting .306 with 19 homers, 70 RBIs, 17 steals and 70 runs scored. However, he's just 8-for-36 (.222) in his career against Chen. Still, you shouldn't bench Rios since Chen isn't exactly a dominating presence on the mound and trends could always change against a pitcher like him. | | |
