Victor Caratini homers in Astros' 5-2 victory over Guardians

Victor Caratini went 1-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in the Astros' win over the Guardians.
Fantasy Impact:
His solo shot contributed to the team's victory, but his three strikeouts in the game highlight an ongoing concern. Caratini's performance this season has been decent for a catcher, maintaining a .270 batting average with eight home runs and 30 RBI over 86 games. His power numbers are respectable for his position, but his high strikeout rate and relatively low walk rate limit his upside in fantasy formats that penalize for strikeouts or reward for OBP. While he provides some occasional pop, his inconsistency at the plate makes him a risky play in shallower fantasy leagues.
