Whit Merrifield has quiet night in Braves' narrow victory

Whit Merrifield went 1-for-4 with a double in the Braves' 3-2 win over the Nationals.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the Braves' success, Merrifield's personal performance this season has been underwhelming, with a batting average lingering around the .217 mark. His double in this game does little to shift the narrative of a challenging season, where his production has notably declined. Fantasy managers might find Merrifield's modest tally of 16 stolen bases and 35 runs scored this season appealing for speed and runs categories, but his overall impact remains limited. His low wOBA of .283 and BABIP of .237 suggest that any significant turnaround might not be on the horizon, making him a risky play in most fantasy formats.
