The Phillies fell to the Mets on Monday by the score of 5-2. Ryan Howard got one of the Phillies seven hits and also walked, but struck out twice. Howard continues to struggle overall and is batting just .200 this season.
Fantasy Impact
Howard is slugging .500, but is drawing relatively few walks and striking out at his typically high rate. No longer a top power threat, Howard still has some fantasy value versus right-handed pitching. Just don't count on him to be your top first baseman.
