Albies hits home run in two-hit day
Ozzie Albies went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in a win over the Red Sox on Tuesday. Albies hit a 401-foot shot that left the bat at 104.4 mph for his fourth home run of the season. The second baseman has just 29 RBI on the season to go along with a .275/.339/.410 slash line. He’s one of a surprising list of Braves players who haven’t been hitting at their usual level so far this season. There’s not much you can do in fantasy leagues; Albies is a talented player in a good lineup who should get it going over the summer. He’s highly unlikely to reach the 30+ home runs he’s hit in each of his last two fully healthy seasons, but he could put together another solid fantasy season.
Smith hits solo home run in loss
Dominic Smith went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Braves on Tuesday. Smith took Max Fried deep in the third inning, but it was a 352-foot shot that would only have been a home run in two MLB stadiums. The 28-year-old is slashing .198/.284/.308 on the season with two home runs. He should not be rostered in any fantasy formats and could only have a few more weeks on the Red Sox roster as they await Triston Casas’ return from injury.
