Xander Bogaerts blasts solo shot in Padres' rout of Giants
by Chris Schommer | Padres Correspondent | Sun, Sep 15th 8:29am EDT
Xander Bogaerts went 1-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in the Padres' 8-0 victory over the Giants.
Fantasy Impact:
His solo home run contributed to a dominant team performance, though his overall game output was modest. Despite a batting average of .262 this season, Bogaerts has now reached double digits in home runs, which could signal some power potential for fantasy managers looking for shortstop contributions. However, his limited production in other categories like walks and stolen bases, coupled with a relatively high strikeout rate, might temper expectations. Fantasy managers should view Bogaerts as a potential depth option, particularly in formats that reward power, but should keep an eye on his ability to improve his on-base skills to maximize his value.
