Jason Heyward went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in the Astros' 4-3 win over the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

His home run contributed crucially to the narrow victory, marking his 10th homer of the season. Despite a less-than-stellar batting average of .214 over 85 games this year, Heyward's power has been a redeeming feature, with his RBI count now standing at 37. His performance this season shows sporadic bursts of productivity, primarily through power hitting, which could make him a situational asset in deeper fantasy leagues or formats that heavily reward power statistics like home runs and RBI. However, his high strikeout rate and low batting average might limit his appeal to fantasy managers looking for more consistent hitters.

Jason Heyward went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in the Astros' 6-1 loss to the Mariners.

Fantasy Impact

This outing brings a slight uptick to his modest .212 batting average, and the home run marks his ninth of the season. Despite the long ball, Heyward's overall performance this year remains underwhelming for fantasy managers, characterized by a low batting average and limited production metrics. His .297 wOBA and .230 BABIP suggest that not much luck has been involved in his struggles at the plate. Fantasy managers should continue to view Heyward as a fringe option, primarily in deeper leagues or formats that reward defensive prowess, rather than expecting any significant offensive breakout at this stage of the season.

Fantasy Impact

His solo shot contributed to the Astros' triumph, bolstering his season totals to a modest .201 average with seven homers. Despite the low batting average, Heyward's power stroke was a welcome sight, but his overall fantasy impact remains limited. With a wOBA of .288 and a concerning strikeout rate of 20.5%, fantasy managers should view Heyward as a situational player rather than a consistent starter. His performance can provide occasional boosts in power categories, but his lack of consistent hitting and on-base skills caps his overall value.
