Justin Upton Swats Seventh Homer
4 years agoLos Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton went 1-for-4 with a home run and a walk in Monday's win over the Astros. Upton had been in the midst of a 3-for-23 slump but took some strides towards breaking out of it, walking in his second at-bat of the game, then homering in his third. The veteran outfielder now has seven homers, which is tied for third on the team. Upton's barrel and hard-hit rates are the highest they've been since the 2018 season when he hit 30 homers- though he remains a relatively one-dimensional fantasy option given his low batting average and high strikeout rate.
