Edward Olivares

Edward Olivares went 3-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored in the Pirates' 11-5 victory over the Braves.

Fantasy Impact

This performance marks a solid outing for Olivares, who has been struggling to maintain a consistent batting average this season. His three hits in the game helped lift his season average to .250, and the two RBI added to his total bring him to 16 for the year. While his power numbers have been modest with only five homers, his ability to contribute in multiple facets of the game remains evident. Olivares's lack of stolen bases and a relatively high strikeout rate might concern fantasy managers, but outings like this show his potential value in deeper leagues, especially if he can sustain or improve his .321 wOBA.

His power display, adding his fifth homer and third double of the season, offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers looking for signs of consistency. While his strikeout rate remains high and his walk rate low, games like this highlight his potential value in deeper fantasy leagues, particularly if he can maintain or improve his .314 wOBA.
