Hedges led the Padres' offense Tuesday, going 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and four RBI in a 6-2 win over the Cubs.
The 24-year-old broke out of his 10-game slump (.125/.176/.125) in a big way, driving in a career-high four runs while increasing his career high in homers to nine as well. Over the past two seasons, Hedges has shown an ability to dominate Triple-A pitching, only to struggle in the majors. Unsurprisingly, the backstop has provided production right down the middle of his minor- and major-league splits in his first full season as the Padres' starter. If fantasy owners can stomach Hedges' low batting average, his production of nine homers and 25 RBI (second among all catchers) can certainly be enjoyed.
