Leo Rivas sparks Mariners in 6-0 shutout
by Chris Schommer | Mariners Correspondent | Sat, Aug 10th 8:58am EDT
Leo Rivas went 1-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored in the Mariners' 6-0 victory over the Mets.
Fantasy Impact:
He also contributed significantly on the base paths, swiping two bases. Rivas's performance today was a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for the young shortstop, who is batting just .217 through 16 games. His ability to generate runs and steal bases today, however, could hint at a potential uptick in fantasy value, especially in categories that reward stolen bases and runs. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Rivas for signs of consistency, as he could become a viable option for speed and runs if he secures more regular playing time and improves his contact at the plate.
