Bryce Harper powers Phillies past Padres

Bryce Harper (1B,DH - PHI)

Bryce Harper went 1-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in the Phillies' 9-3 victory over the Padres.

Fantasy Impact
While the solo shot added some flair to the scoreboard, Harper's overall performance this season has been a mixed bag. His batting average sits at .253, and despite the occasional power display, his strikeout rate of .230 is concerning. However, his wOBA of .353 indicates that he's still producing effectively when he does make contact. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Harper's strikeout and walk rates; improvements here could make him a more consistent contributor as the season progresses.
