Fermin is behind the plate and hitting No. 8 in the lineup with Salvador Perez getting the day off. He is hitting .218 with one home run so far this season.

Freddy Fermin went 2-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored, and one RBI in the Royals' narrow 6-5 defeat to the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

Fermin's performance, highlighted by his first homer of the season, provided a much-needed spark for Kansas City's lineup. Despite the team's loss, Fermin's day at the plate could signal a turning point for the catcher, who has struggled to find his rhythm this season with a modest .227 batting average. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Fermin, as increased production could make him a viable option in deeper leagues or formats that reward power from the catcher position.
