Blake Dunn went 2-for-3 with a home run, three runs scored, one RBI, and two stolen bases in the Reds' 15-3 loss to the Braves.

Fantasy Impact

This performance was a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for Dunn, who has struggled to make an impact with a mere .167 batting average over 17 games.

Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Dunn for signs of consistency before considering him for a regular spot.
