Anticipation has been mounting for when Carlos Gonzalez will turn his excruciatingly slow start to the season around and become a valuable fantasy hitter again. Well, I've got good news and I've got bad news. He managed to go 4-11, 2 R, RBI, BB, 2 K over the weekend at home versus the Dodgers, elevating his batting average to a slightly easier-to-stomach .213 in the process (as compared to the .175 it dipped to back on April 19). CarGo has now hit safely in four straight and five of the last six Colorado contests. Is there hope that his renaissance is upon us? Sort of, but I mentioned bad news. He hasn't homered since April 25, and that .315 slugging percentage is pretty rough. Stay strong, fantasy owners: it's a long season and the .258 BABIP will hopefully improve very soon.
Let’s take a look at what else happened hitting-wise around the league:
Dude, what should I do with Story??
Touchy situation in ChC right now but are you starting Happ-y over Didi in a weekly league?
What’s wrong with with Miggy from Detroit? Is he hurt or has he fallen off the wagon again?
