Martin Maldonado shines in White Sox victory over Rays
by Chris Schommer | White Sox Correspondent | Sat, Apr 27th 9:52am EDT
Martin Maldonado went 2-for-4 in the White Sox's 9-4 win over the Rays with a home run, two runs scored, and three RBI.
Fantasy Impact:
This performance was a significant highlight in what has been a challenging season for Maldonado, whose batting average has lingered around a paltry .087. The veteran catcher's two-hit game, including a home run, might not signal a turnaround, but it does offer a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers who have been waiting for any sign of offensive life. Given his overall poor offensive stats this season, including a very low BABIP and wOBA, fantasy managers should remain cautious. Maldonado's value continues to be limited to very deep leagues where defensive play factors into scoring, or as a backup in two-catcher formats.
