Santiago Espinal went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Reds' 2-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Impact

His performance this season has been underwhelming with a batting average lingering around the Mendoza Line at .200 and a modest .237 wOBA. While the home run might excite some, his overall production suggests limited fantasy relevance. Owners should consider him a fringe option, primarily in deeper leagues or as a fill-in during a hot streak or favorable matchups.
