Stanton Powers Yankees to Narrow Victory Over Rangers
by Jesse Garcia | Yankees Correspondent | Sun, Aug 11th 8:31pm EDT
Giancarlo Stanton went 1-for-2 with a home run and four RBI in the Yankees' 8-7 win over the Rangers.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance included a walk and he plated a crucial run, contributing significantly to the team's narrow victory. Despite a batting average of .247 this season, Stanton's power at the plate remains evident with 20 homers and 52 RBI through 78 games. His ability to drive in runs and hit long balls keeps him relevant in fantasy lineups, particularly in categories that reward power hitting. However, his high strikeout rate continues to be a concern, potentially impacting his batting average and on-base opportunities. Fantasy managers should continue to value Stanton for his home run and RBI potential, while being cognizant of the batting average risk he carries.
