Keibert Ruiz Powers Up in Loss to Phillies
by Chase Davis | Nationals Correspondent | Fri, Aug 16th 8:50am EDT
Keibert Ruiz went 2-for-4 with two home runs and two RBI in the Nationals' 13-3 defeat against the Phillies.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's struggles, Ruiz's performance was a bright spot, showcasing his power potential with a pair of solo shots. This game nudges his season home run tally to 11, a respectable figure given his modest .227 batting average over 93 games. While his overall offensive numbers this season don't scream 'must-start' in fantasy lineups, games like this highlight his ability to contribute valuable power numbers from the catcher position. Fantasy managers should consider Ruiz as a situational play, particularly in matchups that favor his power-hitting capabilities.
