Lawrence Butler homers, but A's fall short against Brewers
by Chris Schommer | Athletics Correspondent | Sat, Aug 24th 7:10am EDT
Lawrence Butler went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Athletics' 11-3 loss to the Brewers.
Fantasy Impact:
The outfielder's solo shot contributed a glimmer of offense on an otherwise bleak day for Oakland. Despite the loss, Butler's power continues to be a bright spot in a challenging season. With 14 homers and 43 RBI through 95 games, he's proving capable of producing valuable fantasy stats, particularly in the power categories. However, his .242 batting average and high strikeout rate might temper enthusiasm. Fantasy managers should consider Butler a viable option in deeper leagues or formats that heavily reward power numbers but be wary of the impact his average and strikeouts could have on their team's overall performance.
