MJ Melendez shows speed in Royals' shutout win

MJ Melendez went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in the Royals' 5-0 victory over the Twins.
Fantasy Impact:
While his single and run contributed to the team's win, it's his stolen base that might catch the eye of fantasy managers looking for speed. Despite a challenging season with a .212 batting average and limited production across 119 games, Melendez's ability to add stolen bases could offer some value in deeper leagues or formats that reward diverse statistical contributions. His power numbers with 17 homers are decent, but his high strikeout rate and low BABIP suggest continued volatility in his batting average. Fantasy managers should consider him a risky play with potential upside in specific categories.
