Jorge Mateo homers, but Orioles fall short in slugfest
by Chris Schommer | Orioles Correspondent | Sat, Jun 22nd 5:16am EDT
Jorge Mateo went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Orioles' 14-11 loss to the Astros.
Fantasy Impact:
Mateo's two-run shot was a small bright spot in a game dominated by high scores and defensive struggles. Despite the loss, this performance could offer a slight boost to Mateo's fantasy value, which has been hampered by a modest .236 batting average and inconsistent production this season. His power-speed combo remains appealing, however, as evidenced by his five homers and 12 stolen bases. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Mateo for potential spot starts, especially in matchups that favor his skill set.
