Fantasy Impact

Wieters now has a home run in each of his last two games, and four in his last 11 contests. Wieters has limited fantasy value because he doesn't play everyday, but he's provided quite a bit of pop lately. He's also a feast or famine type hitter, and is a volatile batter to have in your lineup.
