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.

Fantasy Impact

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.
