Yasmani Grandal homers, drives in five Monday
by Mike Maher | Pirates Correspondent | Tue, Apr 17th 7:45am EDT
Yasmani Grandal went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, five RBIs, and a walk in Monday's win over the San Diego Padres. The home run was this third of the season, and the RBIs doubled his total to 10.
Fantasy Impact:
Grandal is slashing .372 / .460 / .651 through his first 43 at-bats. He has been splitting time with Austin Barnes this season, and Barnes was the more popular pick in many fantasy drafts this offseason after batting .289 last season. Barnes, though, is batting .250 with no home runs and just one RBI through 20 at-bats, so the playing time pendulum will continue to swing in Grandal's favor if he can keep up with anything close to his current pace.
