J.D. Martinez delivers in Mets' victory over Marlins
by Chris Schommer | Mets Correspondent | Sat, Aug 17th 8:46am EDT
J.D. Martinez went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI as the Mets topped the Marlins 7-3.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, while solid, underscores a season that has been somewhat average for Martinez, who is hitting .259 with 12 homers and 55 RBI through 91 games. His contributions today helped the Mets secure a win, but his overall impact this season has been less than stellar, especially considering his past productivity. Fantasy managers should view Martinez as a situational player rather than a consistent starter, given his fluctuating performance and the Mets' lineup options. His ability to drive in runs remains, but his limited power numbers and high strikeout rate this season should temper expectations.
