Kazuma Okamoto went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI, and two runs scored as the Blue Jays defeated the Nationals 5-2 on Wednesday afternoon.
Okamoto started at first base with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. not healthy enough to play. He’s been the most relevant fantasy option in a lineup that has regressed sharply from last year’s World Series run. Okamoto’s 24 homers are double the next-highest total on the team, while his 68 RBI clear Guerrero by 24. A strikeout rate over 30% and a lack of speed are the blemishes that fantasy managers must live with.
