Taylor Ward went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in the Angels' narrow 3-2 victory over the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact:
He also managed to steal a base and walked twice, rounding out a solid all-around performance. This season, Ward has been struggling with a .240 batting average, but his ability to draw walks and contribute in multiple categories can still make him a valuable asset in deeper fantasy leagues. His modest power-speed combo, highlighted by 12 homers and now three steals, offers some upside, though his high strikeout rate and low BABIP suggest potential volatility in his batting average. Ward's performance in high-leverage games like this one could hint at a more consistent second half, making him a player to watch for fantasy managers in need of outfield depth.
