Fantasy Impact

His performance included a walk and two strikeouts. This game marks Carpenter's first home run of the season, bringing his RBI total to four and his batting average to .250 through 11 games. While his strikeout rate remains high at .302, his ability to draw walks and contribute key hits like today's homer can offer sporadic boosts to fantasy lineups. However, given his limited playing time and modest overall production, Carpenter should be viewed as a depth option in deeper fantasy leagues.
