Yastrzemski Powers Giants Past Nationals
by Jesse Garcia | Giants Correspondent | Wed, Aug 7th 10:27pm EDT
Mike Yastrzemski had a productive outing in the Giants' 7-4 victory over the Nationals, going 2-for-4 with a triple, a home run, two RBIs, and two runs scored.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance highlights a season that's been a mixed bag for Yastrzemski, who's batting .248 through 96 games. His power numbers have been decent, with the latest home run being his ninth of the season, matching his total in triples. Despite a relatively high strikeout rate, his ability to contribute extra-base hits and drive in runs provides some value in deeper fantasy leagues. However, his inconsistency at the plate might make him a risky play in shallower or average-based formats.
