Eligibility
Hunter Renfroe went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI as the Royals trounced the Rangers 7-1.
Fantasy Impact
Renfroe's solo shot contributed to the offensive onslaught, and he also drew a walk during the game. Despite this performance, Renfroe's season has been lackluster with a batting average lingering at .155 and a wOBA of .234 over 28 games. His power stroke, evidenced by his three home runs, remains, but his overall production has been disappointing. Fantasy managers should view Renfroe as a potential power source, but his low batting average and on-base skills make him a risky play in most formats.

Hunter Renfroe had a solid performance in Friday's game against the Cardinals, going 2-for-4 at the plate with a home run and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact
Despite his efforts, the Reds ultimately fell to the Cardinals by a score of 9-4. Renfroe's season-long numbers have been underwhelming, with a .242 batting average and 20 home runs, but his ability to drive in runs could make him a valuable asset in deeper fantasy leagues. However, his lack of stolen bases and high strikeout rate may limit his overall fantasy production.
