Lawrence Butler Shines in Athletics' Victory Over Blue Jays
by Jesse Garcia | Athletics Correspondent | Sun, Aug 11th 8:15pm EDT
Lawrence Butler went 3-for-5 with a double, two runs scored, one RBI, and a stolen base in the Athletics' 8-4 win over the Blue Jays.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance could be a spark for Butler, who has struggled to maintain a consistent batting average this season, currently sitting at .248. His ability to contribute across multiple categories in this game, however, highlights his potential value in fantasy leagues, especially with his combination of power and speed (13 homers and 10 stolen bases on the season). While his high strikeout rate and low walk rate remain concerns, performances like today's show that Butler can be a valuable asset when he's making contact.
