Austin Riley powers Braves past Yankees, 8-1

Austin Riley had a productive outing in the Braves' dominant 8-1 victory over the Yankees, going 2-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored, and an RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
He also drew two walks, showcasing his ability to reach base effectively. Riley's performance, highlighted by his seventh homer of the season, offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers who have been concerned about his modest .251 batting average and relatively low power numbers this season. With a solid .324 wOBA but an underwhelming .309 BABIP, there's potential for Riley to improve as the season progresses, especially if he continues to capitalize on scoring opportunities like he did in this game. His ability to combine power with on-base skills should keep him relevant in most fantasy formats.
