Lawrence Butler Shines in Athletics' Shutout Victory
by Chase Davis | Athletics Correspondent | Fri, Jul 5th 9:32am EDT
Lawrence Butler went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Athletics' 5-0 win over the Angels.
Fantasy Impact:
His solo shot contributed to the team's commanding victory, marking one of the few highlights in his struggling season. Despite a low batting average of .193 over 55 games, Butler's power potential occasionally surfaces, as evidenced by his four homers this year. His performance in this game might not signal a turning point, but for fantasy managers, any sign of life, especially in the power department, is a welcome sight. However, his high strikeout rate and low wOBA suggest continued caution in expecting consistent fantasy production.
