Fantasy Impact

This performance, albeit modest, is a bright spot in Lockridge's limited season appearances, where he's now played in 11 games with a batting average of .222. His home run in this game was his first of the season, which underscores his potential power, albeit inconsistently displayed. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Lockridge as a possible deep-league or streaming option, especially if he begins to see more regular at-bats and can leverage his power more consistently. However, his current stats suggest caution, given his low batting average and on-base metrics.
