Giancarlo Stanton swats homer, but Yanks fall to Rangers
by Chris Schommer | Yankees Correspondent | Sun, Aug 11th 7:34am EDT
Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, one run scored, and two RBI in the Yankees' 9-4 loss to the Rangers.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's defeat, Stanton's performance was a bright spot, showcasing his power with his 19th homer of the season. His batting average remains modest at .245, but his consistent power production keeps him relevant in fantasy lineups, especially in categories that reward extra-base hits and RBI. However, his high strikeout rate continues to be a concern, potentially limiting his upside in points leagues that penalize for strikeouts. Fantasy managers should continue to deploy Stanton for his home run potential, though they should temper expectations for batting average improvements.
