AI Summary

Jac Caglianone went 1-for-2 with a walk in Friday's extra-inning loss, continuing a slow start to the season with only four homers through 41 games.

Caglianone reached base in two of his three plate appearances before being lifted for a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning when Kansas City turned to Lane Thomas to face Guardians lefty reliever Daniel Lynch IV. The 23-year-old was a trendy preseason breakout pick and simply hasn't produced a ton of over-the-fence pop this season, mustering only four homers through 41 games. The immense talent means holding on and waiting is probably the correct move in deeper fantasy formats, but there's an argument for moving on from Caglianone in shallow mixers.
