Xander Bogaerts racks up extra bases in Padres victory
by Chris Schommer | Padres Correspondent | Sun, Jul 28th 8:56am EDT
Xander Bogaerts went 3-for-5 in the Padres' 9-4 win over the Orioles, delivering two doubles, a triple, one run scored, and one RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance is a bright spot in what has been a relatively average season for Bogaerts, lifting his batting average to .272. His ability to hit for extra bases in this game could hint at a potential uptick in his slugging, which fantasy managers would welcome given his modest total of four home runs and 17 RBI over 57 games. While his strikeout rate remains low, his walk rate could use improvement. Owners should monitor if this game sparks a hot streak, but expectations should be tempered given the overall season performance.
