Mitch Garver goes deep in Mariners' shutout victory

Mitch Garver played a key role in the Mariners' 2-0 win over the Athletics, delivering with his bat by going 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI.

Fantasy Impact

His solo shot contributed significantly to the team's victory, marking one of the few highlights in his otherwise challenging season. With a batting average lingering around .172 and a high strikeout rate, Garver's power stroke has been one of the few redeeming aspects of his fantasy value this year. His 15 homers are respectable, but fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his overall production has been limited by a low BABIP of .216 and a concerning strikeout total. Moving forward, Garver remains a risky play, suitable mainly for those in need of power numbers from the catcher position.
