Brendan Donovan has quiet night at the plate

Brendan Donovan went 1-for-4 with an RBI in the Cardinals' 6-3 loss to the Yankees.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance was a bit underwhelming, especially considering the expectations placed on Donovan to contribute significantly in the middle of the lineup. His season batting average now sits at .263, which, coupled with a modest .313 wOBA, suggests that he's been more of a contact hitter than a major run producer this year. Fantasy managers should note that while Donovan's consistency in hitting for average is reliable, his lack of power numbers and limited stolen base potential might cap his upside in standard formats. His role as a regular starter does ensure he'll have opportunities, but don't expect explosive stat lines too frequently.
