MJ Melendez went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Royals' narrow 7-6 defeat to the Twins.
Fantasy Impact
The outfielder managed to leave the yard for his fifth homer of the season, contributing the lone RBI and run scored for his day's work. Despite the highlight, Melendez's season has been marred by a concerning .176 batting average and a high strikeout rate of 26.7%. His power stroke is evident, but fantasy managers should remain wary due to his inconsistency at the plate and low .251 wOBA. His performance in isolated games like this one does little to assure consistent fantasy viability unless he can significantly improve his contact rate and overall hitting mechanics.
