Keibert Ruiz delivers key hits in Nationals' rout of Phillies

by Chris Schommer | Nationals Correspondent | Sat, Sep 28th 9:12am EDT

Keibert Ruiz went 2-for-5 with three RBI in the Nationals' 9-1 victory over the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact:

This performance, while solid, doesn't mask the struggles Ruiz has faced this season, batting a mere .226 through 126 games. His contributions today, primarily driving in runs, are a positive note in what has been a lackluster year for the catcher. With a low wOBA of .266 and an equally unimpressive BABIP of .228, Ruiz's fantasy relevance remains limited to deeper leagues or those in dire need of a catcher. His lack of consistent production, especially in power and on-base metrics, makes him a risky play in standard formats.
