Maldonado Homers, But Sox Fall Short
by Jesse Garcia | Wed, Jul 10th 9:28pm EDT
Martin Maldonado went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in the White Sox's 3-2 loss to the Twins.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, while a bright spot, underscores a challenging season for Maldonado, who has struggled to find consistency at the plate, batting just .113 through 47 games. His power has been sparse with only three homers to his name, and his on-base skills are lacking, as evidenced by a meager walk rate. Fantasy managers should view Maldonado as a desperation play in deep leagues, primarily for his occasional power outburst, but his high strikeout rate and low batting average severely limit his appeal.
