Orlando Arcia powers Braves past Padres with key homer
by Chris Schommer | Braves Correspondent | Sat, Jul 13th 7:36am EDT
Orlando Arcia played a pivotal role in the Braves' 6-1 victory over the Padres, going 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance was a bright spot in what has been a challenging season, as he's batting just .212 through 88 games. The home run, his seventh of the year, along with the pair of RBI, add slightly to his underwhelming totals but don't move the needle much on his fantasy value. Arcia remains a fringe fantasy option, primarily useful in deeper leagues or as a fill-in during injury crises, given his low batting average and limited power numbers. His lack of walks and high strikeout rate further dampen his appeal in formats that penalize for strikeouts or reward for on-base percentage.
