Matt McLain Records Two Hits Saturday

Cincinnati Reds rookie shortstopMatt McLainwent 2-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-5 victory over Chicago Cubs. McLain's average on the season is now up to .333, and his OPS is .979. The 23-year-old is slashing .333/.423/.556 with two home runs, seven RBI, 12 runs, and six walks across 52 plate appearances in 2023.

He occupies a prime lineup spot as the No. 2 hitter in the order, and Cincinnati is unlikely to move him around in the batting order while he's hitting like this. Fantasy managers should add McLain in all league formats.
