Ryan Howard homers in win over Twins
by Kerry Kauffman | Thu, Jun 23rd 4:37pm EDT
The Phillies have struggled for much of the past month, as has Ryan Howard, whose average had dipped to .140. Howard broke out some on Thursday, going 2-for-5 with a home run. The blast was Howard's 11th this season and 367th of his career.
Fantasy Impact:
Howard is on pace to hit 24 home runs, but only 50 RBI. HIs average is an abysmal .150 and his OPS is only .554. Tommy Joseph has been struggling, which could get Howard back into the lineup more regularly, unless the Phillies plan to give Andres Blanco more time at first base. Howard has very little fantasy value at this stage of his career with the exception of the occasional long ball.
