Ryan Howard homers again in win over Dodgers
by Kerry Kauffman | Thu, Aug 18th 11:23pm EDT
Ryan Howard had been playing poorly and saw decreased playing time in favor of Tommy Joseph. Howard has been hitting the ball well lately, and continued with a home run in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Dodgers. Howard now has 19 home runs and 43 RBI for the season.
Fantasy Impact:
Howard is 12-for-28 with four home runs and 12 RBI this month. His .198 batting average and .702 OPS are far from stellar, but he's averaging a home run every 13 at-bats. Howard should continue to get enough playing time this month to be a good power option in deeper leagues.
