Christian Encarnacion-Strand Hits First Career Homer Tuesday
1 year agoCincinnati Reds corner-infield prospect Christian Encarnacion-Strand showed why he is such an intriguing fantasy player in Tuesday's 11-10 loss to the Giants. The 23-year-old came into his second career big-league game to pinch-hit and play third base and went 2-for-3 with a single and a three-run home run. Encarnacion-Strand is one of many exciting, young Reds players and is the team's No. 5 prospect, per MLB Pipeline. His average and power potential are well-known among fantasy managers and he is currently rostered in 55% of leagues. His upside and success at Triple-A Louisville make him worth an add in most leagues at this time.
