Maikel Garcia speeds past Pirates in Royals' victory
by Chris Schommer | Royals Correspondent | Sun, Sep 15th 9:13am EDT
Maikel Garcia went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a run scored, and three stolen bases in the Royals' 5-1 win over the Pirates.
Fantasy Impact:
Garcia's performance today was a bright spot in what has been a somewhat underwhelming season, given his .238 batting average. However, his ability to swipe bags, as evidenced by his three stolen bases today, boosts his fantasy value, especially in categories leagues. With 36 stolen bases on the year, Garcia remains a viable option for fantasy managers in need of speed, despite his struggles at the plate. His consistent playing time and position at shortstop add some stability, but fantasy managers should temper expectations when it comes to his hitting contributions.
