Brett Sullivan went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI as the Padres trounced the Red Sox 11-1.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included a key home run that contributed significantly to the lopsided victory. Despite limited appearances this season, Sullivan is showing promise with a .300 batting average and a .377 wOBA over five games. His power display, evidenced by his first home run of the season, suggests potential for more impactful outings if he continues to find opportunities in the Padres' lineup. However, his high strikeout rate and lack of walks could limit his upside. Fantasy managers should monitor his playing time and consider him as a possible streaming option in deeper leagues or two-catcher formats.
