Nelson Velasquez finished 1-for-4, blasting a solo home run as the Cubs fell to the Marlins 3-2 on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Velasquez went deep for the second time in as many days, sending a third inning Jesus Luzardo offering deep into the left field bleachers. The 24-year-old sophomore is making a case to remain in the Cubs' lineup regularly, as he now holds a stellar .412/.500/1.059 slash line with three homers through 17 at-bats. He is definitely a guy to keep an eye on in deeper fantasy leagues going forward.
Nelson Velasquez went 1-for-3 at the plate for the Cubs Thursday, blasting a solo home run in a 5-2 win over the Padres.
Fantasy Impact
Velasquez has been reliable at the plate since returning from Triple-A for the Cubs, recording hits in three consecutive games for the club. The 24-year-old will look to try and stick with manager David Ross's club, batting a robust .462 with two home runs, five runs scored, and five runs batted in so far this season.
Nelson Velasquez has been optioned to Triple-A Iowa. Brandon Hughes was activated from the IL.
Fantasy Impact
Velasquez saw success in his latest stint in the majors, going 3-for-4 with three runs and four RBIs. Ultimately, the activation of Seiya Suzuki takes Velasquez out of an everyday role, so the Cubs will send him down to get more regular at-bats.
Nelson Velasquez went 3-for-4 with three runs scored and four RBI, including a grand slam in the third inning to reclaim the lead at 8-7. The Cubs would go on to win 14-9.
Fantasy Impact
Velasquez's home run completed the Cubs' comeback after they dug themselves a 7-0 deficit. The 24-year-old is on fire right now and a plausible pickup in deeper leagues, though be prepared to drop him when he cools off.
Nelson Velasquez was recalled from Triple-A Iowa Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Velasquez is hitting .364 with three home runs, seven RBI, and one stolen base so far in Triple-A. Fantasy managers should hold off on looking to add Velazquez as he may only be up until Seiya Suzuki is healthy enough to return to the Cubs.
