Austin Riley homers, but Braves fall short against Dodgers
by Chris Schommer | Braves Correspondent | Sat, May 4th 7:25am EDT
Austin Riley went 2-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in the Braves' 4-3 loss to the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the defeat, Riley's performance was a bright spot, showcasing his power with a solo home run that contributed to his season tally. This season, Riley has been struggling with a modest .242 batting average and a high strikeout rate of 24.8%, but his ability to hit for power remains evident. His wOBA of .316 indicates that he is still producing at a reasonable level, but fantasy managers should be cautious due to his inconsistency at the plate. Moving forward, Riley remains a viable fantasy option, particularly in formats that value power, but expectations should be tempered given his current batting trends.
