Tyler O'Neill swings hot bat in loss to Dodgers

Tyler O'Neill went 3-for-4 in the Red Sox's 4-1 loss to the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's struggles, O'Neill's performance was a bright spot, though it lacked extra-base hits or runs produced. His season batting average now sits at .260, and while his power numbers are decent with 16 homers, his high strikeout rate (.332) continues to be a concern for fantasy managers. His ability to get on base via hits rather than walks, as evidenced by his .116 walk rate, suggests a reliance on batting average, which can be volatile. Fantasy players should view O'Neill as a streaky option, capable of big games but also prone to dry spells.
