Andrew Stevenson Swats Pinch-Hit Homer
4 years agoWashington Nationals outfielder Andrew Stevenson, the team's fourth outfielder, hit a pinch-hit home run Monday. It was his first home run of the season and fourth of his career. Backup outfielder is the right role for Stevenson, a career .259/.335/.373 hitter in 254 plate appearances over parts of four seasons. He started some games this year while the team waited for Kyle Schwarber to return from the COVID-19 list, but he should now settle into his backup role. As such, the home run is nothing to get excited about. It's tough to see a fantasy role for Stevenson, even in NL-only leagues or for DFS on those rare occasions going forward when he receives a start.
