Jordan Westburg's solo shot not enough in Orioles' loss
by Chris Schommer | Orioles Correspondent | Sun, Jun 23rd 7:49am EDT
Jordan Westburg went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the Orioles' 5-1 defeat to the Astros.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the loss, Westburg's ability to connect for his 12th homer of the season was a small silver lining on an otherwise tough day that saw him strike out three times. His performance this season has been solid, maintaining a .277 average with a decent power-speed combo, highlighted by his 12 homers and six stolen bases. However, his high strikeout rate continues to be a concern for fantasy managers, especially in points leagues where strikeouts are penalized. Westburg remains a viable middle infield option in most formats, but his value could be higher if he manages to cut down on strikeouts and increase his walk rate.
