Keibert Ruiz

Keibert Ruiz went 2-for-5 with three RBI in the Nationals' 9-1 victory over the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact

This performance, while solid, doesn't mask the struggles Ruiz has faced this season, batting a mere .226 through 126 games. His contributions today, primarily driving in runs, are a positive note in what has been a lackluster year for the catcher. With a low wOBA of .266 and an equally unimpressive BABIP of .228, Ruiz's fantasy relevance remains limited to deeper leagues or those in dire need of a catcher. His lack of consistent production, especially in power and on-base metrics, makes him a risky play in standard formats.

Keibert Ruiz is out of the starting lineup for the Nationals Wednesday.

Ruiz will head to the bench for a day of rest Wednesday. Drew Millas will start behind the plate and bat seventh against the Royals.

Keibert Ruiz went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in the Nationals' 4-1 win over the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact

Adding a stolen base to his line, Ruiz showed a flash of versatility, though his season-long stats paint the picture of a catcher still finding his way at the plate with a modest .231 batting average and .275 wOBA. His 13 homers and 51 RBI are respectable for a catcher, but fantasy managers would hope for more consistency in hitting to make him a more reliable option. The stolen base is a rare bonus, but with only three on the year, it's not enough to significantly boost his fantasy stock.

Keibert Ruiz went 3-for-5 in the Nationals' 8-6 win over the Pirates, delivering two doubles, an RBI, a run scored, and a stolen base.

Fantasy Impact

This performance marks a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for Ruiz, who's batting just .227 through 111 games. His multi-hit game, featuring two doubles, provides a glimpse of potential upside, though his overall power numbers have been modest with only 13 homers. The stolen base is a rare bonus for fantasy managers from the catcher position, but with only three on the season, it's not a reliable category booster. Ruiz's low batting average and on-base skills, highlighted by a .272 wOBA and a .225 BABIP, suggest limited fantasy value outside of deeper leagues or two-catcher formats.

Keibert Ruiz went 3-for-4 in the Nationals' 6-2 victory over the Marlins, featuring a home run, a double, two runs scored, and one RBI.

Fantasy Impact

This performance is a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for Ruiz, who's batting just .222 through 107 games. His power display, adding his 13th homer and 15th double of the season, offers some hope for fantasy managers looking for late-season surges. However, his low batting average and modest on-base skills, highlighted by a .266 wOBA suggests that expectations should be tempered. Ruiz remains a fringe fantasy option, primarily valuable in deeper leagues or those that heavily weigh catcher performance.
