Lawrence Butler's bat stays warm in narrow victory over Tigers

Lawrence Butler went 3-for-5 with a walk in the Athletics' 7-6 win over the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite not contributing to the run column or driving in any runs, Butler's ability to reach base multiple times helped maintain pressure on Detroit's pitching. This performance is a positive sign for fantasy managers, especially considering Butler's solid season stats, including a .270 batting average and 21 home runs. His consistent contact and power mix should keep him relevant in fantasy lineups, particularly in leagues that value extra-base hits and home runs. However, his high strikeout rate remains a concern, potentially capping his upside.
