Connor Joe Homers in Lopsided Loss to Cubs
by Matthew Adam | Pirates Correspondent | Tue, Aug 27th 6:16am EDT
Connor Joe went 1-for-1 with a home run and two RBI in the Pirates' 18-8 defeat to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's heavy loss, Joe managed to make his lone at-bat count by sending a ball over the fence, contributing his eighth homer of the season. This performance is a small bright spot in what has been a challenging season for Joe, who is batting just .233 through 107 games. His power numbers are modest, and while homers like these are encouraging, they're too infrequent to significantly boost his fantasy value. Owners should view Joe as a depth option, useful primarily in deeper leagues or as a fill-in based on matchups.
