Lara is a hold — league average and steady as it gets.

His expected wOBA is .307, .008 below the league average of .315, and with 168 plate appearances he is past the point where that number becomes reliable. His actual line is being lifted by a .336 BABIP, 41 points above league average, but that number needs around 800 balls in play and he has 114. The gap is luck, and some of his batting average will come back to the field. The contact profile sits right at the middle: 89.0 mph average exit velocity, a 43.0% hard-hit rate, both around league, with a barrel rate of 4.4% below it. His strikeout and walk rates are league average, and he chases less than most. There is no skill surge and no luck collapse brewing. Hold. 0 HR / 4 R / 8 RBI / 0 SB is deep-league rotation only, so hold — no asset, no drag, just a streamer you can leave.
