Taylor Ward's Quiet Day at the Plate

Taylor Ward went 1-for-4 with a double in the Angels' 4-1 loss to the Guardians.

Fantasy Impact

This performance was a minor blip in what has been a fairly productive season for Ward, who maintains a .279 batting average with seven home runs and 24 RBI through 34 games. His ability to hit for both power and average is valuable, though his low walk rate (.048) and high strikeout rate (.221) continue to be areas of concern. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his contact rates and plate discipline, as improvements in these areas could lead to more consistent production. For now, Ward remains a viable fantasy option, especially in formats that reward extra-base hits.
