Bats
60% 3B, SS Colson Montgomery, Chicago White Sox- Has 6 home runs in his past 10 games. Needs to take more walks to experience sustained production, but this is nevertheless very impressive.
56% OF Jesus Sanchez, Houston Astros- Newly acquired by the Astros and playing full time. Still has great power potential and has been an OK source of both pop and speed this year with 10 home runs and 9 steals.
43% 3B Warming Bernabel, Colorado Rockies- Has been on fire since his callup. Already has 3 homers, and in 4 of his 7 games, he’s had multiple hits. He should also acquire 1B eligibility. Grab him if you can!
35% 1B Josh Bell, Washington Nationals- Though his numbers aren’t so great for the season, he does have 13 bombs and has been swinging a hot bat lately. He looks like more of an asset in OBP leagues right now, as he seems to be making a concerted effort to stay patient and get on base.
18% OF Tommy Pham, Pittsburgh Pirates- On a 10-game hitting streak with half of those being multi-hit games. Despite being 37, Pham remains a solid hitter who offers some power and speed. A great option in deeper leagues for your last active outfield spot.
13% C Kyle Higashioka, Texas Rangers- Seems to be heating up, which we’ve seen him do in the past. Has hit 3 of his 7 home runs this season in his past 5 games, with 4 of those 5 being multi-hit performances.
Pitchers
*76% SP Trevor Rogers, Baltimore Orioles- Another excellent start his last time out, with only 4 hits and 1 run allowed over 8 innings. He walked none and struck out 8. Last chance to scoop him if he isn’t already owned.
70% SP Eric Lauer, Toronto Blue Jays- Although his peripherals suggest he has been playing over his head, Lauer has done a phenomenal job of limiting walks this season. He has Colorado his next time out, which seems like a decent matchup, despite the park, considering how bad the Rockies are this year.
*65% RP Randy Rodriguez, San Francisco Giants- Has been named closer after the departure of Camilo Doval. He’s been phenomenal this year and needs to be owned everywhere now.
*60% SP Joe Boyle, Tampa Bay Rays- Not the best start his last time out, but he at least did not allow any runs through 5 innings. He is still a must-grab if he remains unowned.
19% RP Kevin Ginkel, Arizona Diamondbacks- Could be the closer now that Shelby Miller is out.
