Oneil Cruz's slump continues in loss to Royals
by Chris Schommer | Pirates Correspondent | Sun, Sep 15th 9:10am EDT
Oneil Cruz went 1-for-5 with an RBI in the Pirates' 5-1 defeat to the Royals.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite driving in a run, Cruz's performance was marred by three strikeouts and a lack of extra-base hits, contributing to Pittsburgh's offensive struggles. This game is a microcosm of Cruz's recent struggles at the plate, where his high strikeout rate continues to undermine his overall productivity. While his power numbers and speed are assets, his inability to consistently make contact and get on base is a growing concern for fantasy managers. Moving forward, Cruz remains a high-risk, high-reward option in fantasy lineups, capable of game-changing plays but often at the cost of batting average and on-base percentage.
