Addison Barger homers, but Blue Jays fall short
by Chris Schommer | Blue Jays Correspondent | Sun, Aug 18th 6:03am EDT
Addison Barger went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Blue Jays' 3-2 loss to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
The young slugger managed to connect for his third homer of the season, contributing an RBI for his team in the game. Despite this flash of power, Barger's season has been challenging, with a batting average lingering at .176 through 35 games. His power numbers are modest, and his high strikeout rate combined with a low walk rate suggests ongoing struggles with plate discipline. Fantasy managers should view Barger as a risky play, primarily useful in deeper leagues or as a speculative add in hopes of a turnaround.
