Sam Hilliard went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Rockies' 6-4 loss to the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact
His performance included a walk and a strikeout. Hilliard's home run adds a bit of shine to his season, where he's now boasting a .261 average with nine homers and 26 RBI through 51 games. While his power is evident, his high strikeout rate continues to be a concern for fantasy managers. However, his wOBA of .360 suggests he's been quite effective when he does make contact. Hilliard remains a viable fantasy option in deeper leagues, particularly for those in need of power numbers, though his strikeout propensity could dampen his batting average.

Fantasy Impact
His performance today, though limited in opportunities, showcased his ability to impact the game with significant power. Hilliard's season has been a mixed bag with a .248 batting average and eight home runs over 48 games, indicating sporadic productivity. His high strikeout rate continues to be a concern, potentially limiting his chances for consistent playtime. Fantasy managers should view Hilliard as a situational player whose value spikes in matchups favorable to power hitters, but his inconsistency at the plate makes him a risky play in standard formats.

Fantasy Impact
Hilliard will head to the bench after going hitless Tuesday. Nolan Jones will patrol left field and bat eighth against the Tigers.
