Bryan De La Cruz Swats Homer in Marlins' Loss
by Chase Davis | Pirates Correspondent | Fri, Jul 12th 9:04am EDT
Bryan De La Cruz went 3-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Marlins' 6-3 defeat to the Astros.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance today, highlighted by his 16th homer of the season, provided a bright spot in an otherwise disappointing game for Miami. De La Cruz's batting average nudged up to .247, and while his power numbers are respectable, his high strikeout rate and low walk rate continue to cap his fantasy upside. Owners should view De La Cruz as a potential depth piece in fantasy lineups, particularly in formats that reward power, but his lack of consistent on-base skills makes him a risky play in points leagues.
