While the Angels couldn't secure the win, Ward's performance was a silver lining as he contributed significantly with his 11th homer of the season. This outing continues a solid season for Ward, who now boasts a .271 batting average and 32 RBI through 51 games. His power numbers are encouraging, especially in deeper fantasy leagues where home runs and RBI are gold. However, his high strikeout rate remains a concern for batting average stability. Fantasy managers should continue to ride Ward's power streak, but be wary of potential slumps due to his strikeout tendencies.

This performance, featuring a mix of power and contact, is somewhat reflective of his season thus far. Ward's ability to contribute both homers and doubles is valuable, but his high strikeout rate (0.211) continues to be a concern for fantasy managers.

Ward's consistency at the plate, evidenced by his .275 batting average and steady power numbers (10 HRs, 28 RBIs), makes him a viable option in most fantasy formats, particularly in leagues that reward extra-base hits. However, his limited base-stealing ability and high strikeout frequency might cap his ceiling.
