Ryan Braun has slowed down
by Chris Zolli | Tue, Jun 7th 6:09pm EDT
After his torrid pace to begin the season, Ryan Braun only has a .238 batting average over the last week and four extra-base hits in the last 10 games. Braun only has two multi-hit games in his last 10 games and has seen his batting average dip to .337 after a 1-for-5 performance on June 4. He has a .959 OPS this season.
Fantasy Impact:
Before injuries slowed Braun in mid-May, it was looking like he was back to being a top-10 player and filling every category. Even with his regression, he still looks like a player that will hit .300 with 50 or more extra base hits and 15-20 stolen bases, good enough to make him a low-end OF1 or high-end OF2. He has never faced the Athletics' starter on Tuesday, Sean Manaea, and has a 1.093 OPS against left-handed pitching this season.
