Luis Garcia

Luis Garcia went 3-for-4 with a run scored in the Nationals' 7-1 defeat to the Guardians.

Fantasy Impact

While the team struggled overall, Garcia's performance was a bright spot, showcasing his ability to find gaps and get on base. Despite the lack of extra-base hits or RBIs in this game, Garcia's consistent contact hitting has kept his average solid at .274 for the season. His ability to maintain a decent batting average and contribute across various categories, including stolen bases and runs scored, makes him a valuable asset in most fantasy formats. However, his low walk rate and moderate power numbers suggest a limited ceiling in leagues that heavily reward on-base and slugging percentages.
