JJ Bleday homers in loss to Brewers
by Chris Schommer | Athletics Correspondent | Sun, Aug 25th 6:57am EDT
JJ Bleday went 1-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in the Athletics' 9-5 loss to the Brewers.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, highlighted by his 18th homer of the season, underscores a modest power uptick for Bleday, though his .241 batting average and high strikeout rate continue to dampen his fantasy appeal. With a wOBA of .331, he offers some value in deeper fantasy leagues, particularly in formats that reward extra-base hits. However, his limited stolen base numbers and high strikeout frequency make him a risky play in standard leagues. Fantasy managers should consider Bleday a situational starter, depending on matchup and league format.
