Freddy Fermín’s name appears in the sequence as a baserunning miscue erased by Pages’s assist, illustrating SD’s aggressive baserunning and the risk-reward dynamic of late-inning opportunities. Fermín’s role offers a speculative angle for deep fantasy formats that chase late-season variability.

Fermin’s two-run homer added insurance and showcased his power upside in the Padres’ lineup. In fantasy, he offers occasional pop and catcher eligibility that can add depth when the Padres rotate catchers, providing a decent path to home runs and RBIs in favorable matchups.

Fermin adds catching depth and middle-infield flexibility for the Padres, providing a bat-first option off the bench and potential call-ups in games that demand rest or strategic splits. His presence is a speculative boost for the Padres’ late-inning production and fantasy depth.
