Modest hitting streak snapped for Robinson Cano
by Chris Zolli | Thu, Apr 21st 6:45am EDT
Robinson Cano had a five-game hitting streak snapped on Wednesday afternoon, finishing 0-for-4 with a strikeout. The hitless game saw Cano's batting average drop to .214 on the season.
Fantasy Impact:
Cano has shown power this season, with five home runs and 10 RBI, but has not provided the usual high batting average that fantasy owners are accustomed to and has a .797 OPS. He is a notoriously slow starter in April, so the five home runs are more important than the .214 batting average, as his average will creep up closer to .300 as the weather warms up. Cano has shown better plate discipline, with five walks against nine strikeouts, and is in a healthy argument with Jose Altuve and Dee Gordon as the top 2B in fantasy baseball.
