Fantasy Impact

This performance underscores Stanton's ability to deliver significant power and RBIs, despite a batting average that might not jump off the page at .235. His 27 homers and 72 RBI in 112 games this season highlight his value as a key run producer in fantasy lineups, particularly in formats that reward power hitting. While his high strikeout rate (31.4%) continues to suppress his batting average, Stanton's solid wOBA (.333) indicates he still makes a substantial impact when he does connect. Fantasy managers should continue to value him for his home run and RBI potential, though the average will likely remain a weak point.

Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in the Yankees' 10-0 rout of the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact

His performance today, highlighted by his 26th homer of the season and a pair of runs scored, offers a glimpse of the power he brings to the lineup, despite a batting average that might not turn heads (.234). Stanton's ability to drive in runs (67 RBI in 108 games) remains an asset for fantasy managers, especially in categories that reward power numbers. However, his high strikeout rate continues to be a concern, potentially limiting his overall fantasy ceiling. While not the most consistent player, Stanton's power stroke makes him a valuable asset in any fantasy lineup, particularly in matchups where the Yankees face favorable pitching.
