Dominic Smith

Dominic Smith went 2-for-3 with a home run and two runs scored in the Red Sox's 7-2 defeat to the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's struggles, Smith's performance was a bright spot, delivering his first home run of the season and adding an RBI. This game could be a sign of turning things around for Smith, who has been struggling with a low .213 batting average and limited power output this season. His ability to connect and drive the ball could help increase his wOBA, which sits at a modest .254, and potentially stabilize his spot in the lineup if he can maintain this kind of performance. However, fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his high strikeout rate and low walk rate still pose significant risks.
