Ceddanne Rafaela powers Sox to victory with key homer
by Chris Schommer | Red Sox Correspondent | Sat, Sep 7th 6:13am EDT
Ceddanne Rafaela went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in the Red Sox's 3-1 win over the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact:
His two-run shot contributed crucially to the victory, underscoring his ability to impact games with power. Despite a modest .253 average over 135 games this season, Rafaela's 15th homer and 65th RBI highlight a potential uptick in his fantasy value, particularly in formats that reward power numbers. Owners should note his relatively high strikeout rate and low walk rate, which could impact his on-base potential. However, his blend of power and speed (17 stolen bases) continues to make him a viable fantasy option in deeper leagues.
