View More NewsNelson Velazquez powers Royals past Rays
Nelson Velazquez went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and two RBI in the Royals' 7-4 victory over the Rays.
Fantasy Impact
This performance could be a sign of Velazquez turning a corner after a sluggish start to the season, raising his average slightly to .232. His power has been evident with five homers and eight doubles over 43 games, but his high strikeout rate (.295) and low walk rate (.077) continue to limit his on-base potential. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Velazquez for potential streaky production, especially in formats that reward extra-base hits and RBI.
