Anthony Rizzo

Anthony Rizzo contributed effectively in the Yankees' 6-2 victory over the Giants, going 2-for-4 with a double and scoring a run.

Fantasy Impact

This performance is a bright spot in what has been a fairly average season for Rizzo, maintaining his .250 batting average. His ability to put the ball in play, evidenced by his zero strikeouts in the game, aligns with his relatively low strikeout rate this season. However, his power numbers and run production have been modest, with only seven homers and 25 RBI over 57 games. Fantasy managers should view Rizzo as a stable, but not spectacular, option at first base, providing consistent, if unspectacular, contributions across multiple categories.

Fantasy Impact

Anthony Rizzo went 1-for-3 with an RBI as the Yankees topped the Padres 4-1.

Fantasy Impact

His performance included a single, a walk, and a strikeout. Despite the modest stats in this game, Rizzo's season has been fairly average, maintaining a .250 batting average and contributing sporadically with power, as evidenced by his seven homers. His on-base skills are stable, highlighted by a decent walk rate, but the lack of extra-base hits and a middling BABIP suggest limited upside. Fantasy managers should view Rizzo as a steady, yet unspectacular option, primarily valuable in deeper leagues where consistency rather than high upside is required.

Anthony Rizzo played a pivotal role in the Yankees' 2-0 win over the Rays, delivering a significant performance at the plate.

Fantasy Impact

He went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and one run scored. This outing was a bright spot in what has been a somewhat average season for Rizzo, boosting his batting average to .265 and his RBI count to 22 through 39 games. His home run, his seventh of the season, underscores his continued power-hitting capability, which remains an essential aspect of his fantasy value. While his strikeout rate has been manageable, his modest walk rate suggests limited opportunities for scoring runs. Fantasy managers should view Rizzo as a reliable source of home runs and RBI, though his overall impact might be capped by the surrounding lineup's performance and his on-base skills.
