Cleveland Indians Fantasy Spin
Yasiel Puig went 3-for-4 with a solo homer in the Indians’ loss to the Twins on Saturday. Puig launched his first long ball in an Indians uniform, a solo homer off Twins reliever Sergio Romo in the seventh inning, and recorded his second consecutive three-hit performance in this one. The 28-year-old outfielder has posted four multi-hit efforts in 10 games since being dealt to Cleveland at last month’s major-league trade deadline. He owns a .263/.315/.485 triple-slash line with 56 runs scored, 23 home runs, 66 RBI and 16 stolen bases in 445 plate appearances. He’s on track to record the first 20-homer, 20-steal campaign of his big-league career
Minnesota Twins Fantasy Spin
Max Kepler slugged his 32nd home run of the season to power the Twins to a 4-1 victory over the Indians on Saturday. Kepler sliced an opposite-field solo homer off Indians starter Adam Plutko in the fifth inning. It was his lone hit in four at-bats The 26-year-old slugger has blossomed into an elite power hitter and is on pace to eclipse the 40-homer plateau this season. He owns a .264/.339/.549 triple-slash line with 79 runs scored, 78 RBI and one stolen base in 487 plate appearances. He’s a virtual lock to be selected within the top 50 picks in fantasy drafts next spring.
