Jonathan India had a productive outing in the Reds' 8-3 victory over the Pirates, going 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored, and an RBI.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included a walk, contributing to the team's offensive surge. This game is a positive note in what has been a somewhat average season for India, who is hitting .247 with 15 homers and 58 RBI over 144 games. His ability to draw walks continues to provide him with opportunities to score, as seen by his 82 runs this season. While his power numbers are respectable, his overall impact in fantasy remains moderate due to his batting average and strikeout rate. However, games like this show his potential to contribute across multiple categories.

Fantasy Impact

Adding a walk and scoring twice, India played a key role in Cincinnati's offensive outburst. This performance is a bright spot in what has been a somewhat average season for India, who is hitting .248 with modest power numbers. His ability to get on base, highlighted by his 74 walks, continues to be a valuable asset in points leagues. However, his overall fantasy impact remains limited by his lack of consistent extra-base hits and stolen bases. Moving forward, India should be viewed as a solid middle infield option.

Jonathan India went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored in the Reds' 8-4 win over the Twins.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included a walk and a strikeout, contributing to the team's offensive output. Despite a modest .246 average this season, India's ability to get on base, highlighted by his 73 walks and a .329 wOBA, remains a valuable asset in fantasy formats, especially those that reward on-base percentage. His mix of moderate power and speed, with 14 homers and 12 stolen bases, provides a balanced profile that can contribute across multiple categories. However, his relatively high strikeout rate and low BABIP suggest potential volatility in his batting average, making him a somewhat risky play depending on the matchup.
