Kevin Kiermaier homers in narrow loss to Mariners

Kevin Kiermaier went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in the Blue Jays' 2-1 defeat to the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the loss, Kiermaier's performance was a small bright spot as he managed to notch his third homer of the season. However, his overall season statistics paint a less rosy picture. With a batting average lingering at .191 and a high strikeout rate of .333, Kiermaier's fantasy relevance remains limited. His power numbers are modest and, given his low walk rate of .047, opportunities for scoring and driving in runs are scarce. Fantasy managers should view him as a depth option at best, useful primarily in deeper leagues or formats that reward defensive prowess.
