Ramon Laureano went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk, an RBI, and a run scored as the Cleveland Guardians trounced the Los Angeles Angels 7-1.

Fantasy Impact

This performance, highlighted by his first home run of the season, offers a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers who have been enduring his sluggish start to the season. Despite the home run, Laureano's batting average remains a paltry .161 through 22 games, which is a significant concern. His high strikeout rate of .348 combined with a low BABIP of .250 suggests he's been both unlucky and underperforming. Fantasy managers should remain cautious, as it will take more than one good game to prove he's turned a corner. However, his power-speed potential remains, making him a high-risk, high-reward option in deeper leagues.
