Donovan's performance was a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for him, batting just .233. His two-hit game could be a sign of turning things around, but his lack of power and speed stats continue to limit his upside in fantasy formats. With a modest .299 wOBA and only four homers on the year, Donovan remains a fringe fantasy option, primarily valuable in deeper leagues or as a fill-in player during hot streaks or favorable matchups.
