Yasmani Grandal Homers in Narrow Pirates Victory
by Chase Davis | Pirates Correspondent | Fri, Sep 20th 8:32am EDT
Yasmani Grandal went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Pirates' 3-2 win over the Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance included a crucial home run that contributed to the tight victory, along with drawing a walk. Despite a challenging season with a .220 batting average and modest power numbers, Grandal's ability to hit key home runs and maintain a decent walk rate (10%) adds some value in deeper fantasy leagues. His wOBA of .298 suggests some effectiveness, but his low BABIP (.240) indicates potential bad luck or a decline in skill as he progresses through the season. Fantasy managers should view Grandal as a possible streaming option against favorable matchups rather than a regular starter.
