Lawrence Butler hit a three-run homer while going 2-for-2 in a loss to the Twins on Monday.
Butler also drew three walks in the contest, so it was a five-reach game with a three-run homer. That’ll play. The 24-year-old has been a decent power/speed play in 2025 with nine homers and steals, respectively, and he hasn’t killed fantasy managers with a .260 average in the process. It’s maybe not the star level he played at in the second half of 2024, but it’s far from unplayable. On the contrary, really.
