Rafael Marchan is in the Phillies lineup on Friday against the Braves.

Fantasy Impact

Marchan is back behind the plate and hitting seventh in the lineup. He is hitting .250 with three home runs across his limited at-bats this season.

Rafael Marchan went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, one run scored, and one RBI in the Phillies' 5-3 victory over the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact

Marchan's performance showcased his potential power, contributing significantly to the team's win. With a season batting average now at .250 and three homers in just 12 games, Marchan is making a case for increased fantasy relevance, especially in deeper leagues or those that value power from the catcher position. His low strikeout rate (0.103) paired with a solid wOBA (.353) suggests that he could provide consistent value if he maintains regular at-bats. However, his low BABIP (.207) indicates potential for even better results moving forward, making him a player to watch or stash, particularly in formats that reward extra-base hits.
