Christopher Morel is out of the lineup for the Tampa Bay Rays against the Cleveland Guardians Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Morel will receive the night off for general rest, with Josh Lowe batting sixth and starting in left field for manager Kevin Cash against the Guardians Saturday.

Christopher Morel had a subdued performance in the Rays' 3-1 win over the Guardians, going 1-for-2 at the plate.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the win, Morel's contribution was minimal, and this game did little to boost his underwhelming season average of .198. With a season marked by high strikeout rates and low on-base metrics (.286 wOBA), Morel's fantasy relevance continues to wane. His power numbers, with 21 homers, are the only silver lining in an otherwise disappointing season. Fantasy managers should consider Morel's current form and season-long struggles before slotting him into active lineups, as his inconsistency can be a liability.
