Jorge Polanco Powers Mariners Past Rays with Solo Shot
by Matthew Adam | Mariners Correspondent | Tue, Aug 27th 5:30am EDT
Jorge Polanco went 1-for-4 in the Mariners' 5-1 victory over the Rays with a home run and one RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance, highlighted by his 13th homer of the season, offers a glimpse of power but doesn't mask the broader concerns about his .219 batting average and high strikeout rate of 30.8%. While the home run adds a positive note to his fantasy value, Polanco's overall inconsistency at the plate and lackluster on-base skills (.296 wOBA) make him a risky play in most fantasy formats. His power can provide occasional boosts, but fantasy managers should temper expectations given his performance trends this season.
