Eric Thames

Eric Thames went 2-for-2 with his 31st home run of the season Friday against the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact

Thames has now homered in three straight games. He could be on the verge of another power binge.

Eric Thames lifted a Tyler Glasnow pitch over the left center field wall for his 30th home run of the season during Wednesday's 8-2 victory over the Pirates. The two-run shot was Thames lone hit in three at-bats.

Fantasy Impact

Thames has now produced at least one hit in four straight games and has gone deep in back-to-back games as the Brewers fight for a playoff spot. He will likely continue to sit against left-handed pitchers so he could be on the bench for three of the next four games with the Brewers slated to face a string of left-handed starters.

Eric Thames went 2-for-3 with his 29th home run of the season and an RBI single Tuesday against the Pirates.

Fantasy Impact

Thames has been alternating between amazing slugger and useless free swinger all season, and this home run was just his first of September. Thames is a match up play at this point of the season.

Eric Thames started at 1B and hit leadoff for the Brewers on Friday and delivered a leadoff double in the first inning coming around the score on Ryan Braun's homer to give the Brewers a 2-0 victory over the Cubs.

Fantasy Impact

Thames continues to platoon at 1B starting for just the second time in the last four games. Thames is batting just .212 with five home runs and 11 RBIs over 42 games since the All-Star break. He will continue to see limited at-bats only starting against right-handed pitchers. The Brewers are scheduled to face left-hander Mike Montgomery on Saturday.

Eric Thames hit a RBI double down the right field line in the fourth inning off Nationals' ace Max Scherzer to even the score at one. It was Thames lone hit in two at-bats before being replaced for a pinch-hitter in the sixth inning of the Brewers' 3-2 loss

Fantasy Impact

Thames only has three hits, all for extra-bases, over his last eight games (27 at-bats), while batting .111 with 13 strikeouts. With rosters expanded, look for Brewers' manager Craig Counsell to only use Thames situationally against right-handed pitchers whether that be starting or pinch-hitting.
