Jason Heyward powers Astros to narrow victory
by Chris Schommer | Wed, Sep 25th 9:05am EDT
Jason Heyward went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in the Astros' 4-3 win over the Mariners.
Fantasy Impact:
His home run contributed crucially to the narrow victory, marking his 10th homer of the season. Despite a less-than-stellar batting average of .214 over 85 games this year, Heyward's power has been a redeeming feature, with his RBI count now standing at 37. His performance this season shows sporadic bursts of productivity, primarily through power hitting, which could make him a situational asset in deeper fantasy leagues or formats that heavily reward power statistics like home runs and RBI. However, his high strikeout rate and low batting average might limit his appeal to fantasy managers looking for more consistent hitters.
