Nick Fortes Shines Despite Marlins' Loss
by Matthew Adam | Marlins Correspondent | Tue, Aug 20th 6:33am EDT
Nick Fortes went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in the Marlins' 9-6 defeat to the Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance today, highlighted by his third home run of the season, offered a rare bright spot in what has been a challenging season for the catcher. Despite a modest .223 batting average over 81 games, Fortes's ability to contribute with power, albeit sporadically, keeps him on the fantasy radar as a potential streaming option in deeper leagues or two-catcher formats. His low walk and strikeout rates suggest a contact-oriented approach, but his overall production remains limited by a lackluster Marlins lineup.
