Kyle Manzardo

Kyle Manzardo went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Guardians' 6-1 victory over the Reds.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included a walk and he scored twice, contributing significantly to the team's win. This season, Manzardo has been somewhat inconsistent with a .248 batting average over 50 games, but his power numbers are showing promise, especially with his fifth homer of the season. His .320 wOBA indicates potential for productive outings, though his high strikeout rate remains a concern for fantasy managers. Moving forward, Manzardo's ability to tap into his power while reducing strikeouts could make him a more reliable fantasy option, especially in deeper leagues or as a streaming choice against favorable pitching matchups.

Kyle Manzardo went 3-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Guardians' 3-2 win over the Twins.

Fantasy Impact

This performance could hint at a potential upswing for Manzardo, who has been struggling to make a significant impact this season, with a modest .258 batting average and only four home runs over 46 games. His ability to connect without striking out in this game is a positive sign, especially considering his relatively high strikeout rate of 25.6% this season. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Manzardo, as consistent contact like this could lead to more regular production, potentially making him a valuable asset down the stretch if he can maintain or improve upon his current .322 wOBA.
