Nick Fortes went 3-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in the Marlins' 8-0 rout of the Mets.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included a walk and he crossed the plate three times. Despite a challenging season where Fortes has struggled with a mere .159 batting average and a lowly .201 wOBA, this game could be a turning point. His ability to drive in runs and score multiple times in a single game highlights his potential value in deeper fantasy leagues, particularly in formats that reward power from the catcher position. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Fortes, as increased confidence and more consistent at-bats could make him a viable streaming option or a bench stash, especially if he builds on this performance.

Nick Fortes is not in the starting lineup for the Marlins Friday.

Fantasy Impact

Fortes will get a day off as the Marlins turn to Christian Bethancourt behind the plate. He will likely return to starting for the Marlins on Saturday.

Nick Fortes went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Marlins' 20-4 defeat to the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact

This performance, featuring his first homer of the season, offers a slight glimmer of hope in what has been a bleak season for Fortes. With a batting average lingering around the Mendoza Line at .141 and minimal production across the board, this game does little to boost his fantasy relevance. Owners should remain skeptical of any significant turnaround based solely on this outing, as his overall metrics this season, including a poor .178 wOBA and .146 BABIP, suggest deep-seated struggles at the plate.
