Whit Merrifield sparks Braves in 11-3 rout
by Chris Schommer | Braves Correspondent | Sun, Aug 18th 7:39am EDT
Whit Merrifield went 1-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, one RBI, and a stolen base in the Braves' dominant win over the Angels.
Fantasy Impact:
Merrifield's performance, highlighted by his solo home run and an additional stolen base, offers a glimmer of hope in what has been a lackluster season for the outfielder, batting just .208. Despite his struggles at the plate this year, his ability to contribute in multiple categories—power, runs, and steals—keeps him relevant in deeper fantasy leagues. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his low batting average and on-base skills continue to limit his overall upside.
