Ketel Marte went 3-for-4 in the Diamondbacks' 5-3 loss to the Cubs, delivering a home run, a double, and driving in two runs.
Fantasy Impact: This performance underscores Marte's consistent hitting prowess, as evidenced by his solid .325 average this season. His ability to contribute across multiple categories, including power and run production, makes him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups. While the Diamondbacks struggled in this game, Marte's individual success continues to bolster his fantasy relevance, especially in leagues that reward extra-base hits and RBIs.

Luis Garcia went 1-for-3 with two stolen bases and a walk in the Nationals' 2-0 win over the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact: Despite not driving in any runs or scoring, Garcia's ability to get on base and steal twice was crucial in a tightly contested game. His performance this season has been solid, maintaining a .294 batting average through 16 games. The increase in stolen bases could hint at a more aggressive baserunning approach, which would enhance his fantasy value, especially in categories leagues. Garcia's consistent contact and emerging speed game make him a player to watch or pick up if available in fantasy leagues.
