Freddy Fermin Swipes Base, Royals Fall to Red Sox
by Matthew Adam | Royals Correspondent | Tue, Aug 6th 6:35am EDT
Freddy Fermin went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in the Royals' 9-5 loss to the Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's defeat, Fermin's ability to contribute with a hit and an RBI adds a slight positive note to his fantasy value, particularly in leagues that value catcher offense. His stolen base, a rare feat for him this season, might not be a reliable indicator of future base-stealing, but it's a welcome bonus for fantasy managers. Maintaining a .304 batting average over 73 games, Fermin continues to be a solid option in fantasy lineups, especially given his consistent hitting and moderate power contributions. His performance should keep him relevant in fantasy discussions, particularly in formats that reward on-base percentage and batting average.
