Bethancourt Homers in Cubs' Losing Effort
by Jesse Garcia | Thu, Aug 22nd 7:21am EDT
Christian Bethancourt went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in the Cubs' 8-2 loss to the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact:
His solo blast provided a rare highlight for the Cubs in a game where they struggled to generate much offense. Despite the home run, Bethancourt's season has been underwhelming, with a batting average lingering around the Mendoza Line at .196 and modest power numbers, including just four homers over 47 games. His lackluster .264 wOBA and high strikeout rate of 25.5% continue to limit his fantasy appeal, making him a less desirable option in most formats. Fantasy managers should consider other alternatives unless desperate for a catcher in deeper leagues.
