Austin Slater Shines in Orioles' Offensive Outburst
by Matthew Adam | Orioles Correspondent | Tue, Sep 3rd 5:54am EDT
Austin Slater had a standout performance in the Orioles' dominant 13-3 victory over the White Sox, going 3-for-4 with a double and driving in three runs.
Fantasy Impact:
His day at the plate also included scoring twice and drawing two walks. Despite a rather tepid season with a .217 batting average, this game could be a sign of turning things around. His ability to get on base multiple times and contribute significantly to the team's run total is a positive indicator, but his overall low power numbers and high strikeout rate still make him a risky fantasy play. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Slater to see if this performance is a spark that leads to more consistent production or just a one-off in an otherwise underwhelming season.
