Julio Rodriguez hit a solo homer to help the Mariners top the White Sox on Monday.

Rodriguez worked a full count and then lashed his eighth homer of the season to right-center off Noah Schultz. The 25-year-old's .251/.318/.421 slash is certainly not what fantasy managers are hoping for come the final weeks of the year, but consider how poorly he's started in previous seasons, managers should be thrilled that he's already driving the ball in the early-ish portion of 2026.
