Whit Merrifield went 1-for-2 with a home run and an RBI in the Phillies' dominant 14-3 victory over the Giants.
Fantasy Impact
His performance included a walk and a strikeout, contributing to the team's offensive explosion. Despite a slow start to the season with a .229 batting average and modest power numbers, Merrifield's latest homer could hint at a potential uptick in his production. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his performance, as increased power could make him a more valuable asset, especially if he starts to combine it with his ability to steal bases. However, his low BABIP suggests some bad luck at the plate, which might improve as the season progresses.
