Oneil Cruz drives in two runs in Pirates triumph
by Chris Schommer | Pirates Correspondent | Sun, Jul 14th 9:04am EDT
Oneil Cruz went 0-for-4 with two RBI in the Pirates' 6-2 victory over the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's success, Cruz failed to contribute offensively, recording no hits and striking out twice. This performance is indicative of his struggles this season, marked by a high strikeout rate of 0.325 and a modest batting average of .244. His power numbers, with 14 homers, suggest some upside, but his inconsistency at the plate could be a concern for fantasy managers. Moving forward, Cruz remains a risky play in fantasy lineups, primarily valuable in formats that reward power and can tolerate his batting average and strikeout liabilities.
