Spencer Horwitz went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base on Friday in the Pirates' loss to the Phillies.
Fantasy Impact
Horwitz has three multi-hit games over his last five contests and is batting .409 (9-for-22) with four runs scored and five runs batted in over his last seven games. His stolen base was the first of his 261-game major league career, so that was an unexpected bonus for the few fantasy owners who started him. Horwitz has a respectable .274/.387/.419 slash line with 19 RBI in 41 games on the season, but offers little in the way of power (three HR) or speed (one SB) which limits his fantasy value.
Spencer Horwitz doubled twice in five at bats, driving in three runs, on Sunday as the Pirates suffered a 7-6 loss to the Giants in 12 innings.
Fantasy Impact

He then gave Pittsburgh a 6-4 lead in the 10th with a two-run double off of Joel Peguero, also ending his afternoon. Horwitz is on a modest five-game hitting streak, going 6-for-16 (.375) during the stretch. He's also driven in nine runs in eight games this month. Horwitz has his average up to .261 for the season with six doubles, three home runs, 19 RBI, and a .796 OPS across 37 games.
Spencer Horwitz went 1-for-3 with an RBI double, two runs scored, and a pair of walks as the Pirates defeated the Giants, 13-3, on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Horwitz doesn't get the headlines in the Pittsburgh lineup, but he has been consistent for the Pirates all season. He has hit safely in five of seven games this month, batting .273 (6-for-22) with two doubles, a triple, and six RBI during the stretch. Horwitz doesn't do anything eye-popping from a fantasy perspective, but he quietly goes about his business and is slashing .255/.377/.396 with three home runs, 16 RBI, and a 17:21 K:BB ratio in 36 games.
