Kyle Isbel powers Royals past Pirates with clutch performance
by Chris Schommer | Royals Correspondent | Sat, Sep 14th 9:18am EDT
Kyle Isbel went 2-for-4 in the Royals' 8-3 victory over the Pirates, delivering a home run, a double, two runs scored, and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance is a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for Isbel, who is batting just .232 over 123 games. His power display, contributing his eighth homer and pushing his RBI total to 42, offers some hope for fantasy managers looking for late-season surges. However, his high strikeout rate and low walk rate continue to limit his on-base potential, making him a risky play in most fantasy formats. His modest stolen base totals and sporadic extra-base hits suggest he's best suited for deeper leagues or as a streaming option against favorable matchups.
