Fantasy Impact

Despite the team's loss, Wendzel managed to make his lone at-bat count by crushing a home run, contributing significantly to the Rangers' scoring efforts. This performance, albeit in a limited sample size, could hint at potential for more impactful outings if he can secure more consistent playing time. However, his season-long stats suggest a struggle at the plate, with a mere .154 batting average and only two hits over eight games. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Wendzel for any sign of increased opportunity or improvement, but for now, he remains a risky play primarily in deeper leagues or as a speculative add.
