Luis Garcia Jr. Homers Against the Mariners
Luis Garcia Jr. had a solo home run in his team's 9-0 win on Wednesday night, giving him five long balls on the season. Garcia opened the scoring with his 404-foot blast in the second inning and finished the night 1-for-4, while later adding a walk and another run scored. The 25-year-old lefty is hitting only .234 on the year but does have a handful of home runs and 20 RBI, along with seven stolen bases. He has a .291 xBA and .475 xSLG, indicating that his quality of contact has been better than his batting average and slugging percentage indicate. Garcia can be an emergency fill-in or DFS streaming play at a thin 2B position now that he's recovered from his slow start to the season, but he isn't a must-start in standard leagues at this point.
