The current hits leader in the American League, Cedric Mullins is enjoying a monster breakout season at age 26. Mullins has hit .340 over the past month and is now sitting at a robust .321 on the year, which is good for seventh in baseball. With the combo of power and speed to compliment the batting average, Mullins has evolved into a five-category fantasy asset.

Remember Miguel Andújar? The former rookie sensation has battled through injuries and inconsistencies since his breakout in 2018 and became an afterthought, but he is getting regular run right now in the Yankees’ struggling lineup and is making the best of it. Over the past two weeks, Andújar is slashing .333/.356/.690 and deserves a long look in deep leagues.

Jesse Winker deserves to start the All Star Game if it were tomorrow. He has taken his game to a whole six other levels. Winker has been an elite four-category fantasy stud this year and has scored 23 runs across his last 25 games.

Off the list: Hunter Renfroe, Jeimer Candelario (COVID)
Over the past month, Justin Upton has seven home runs, 15 RBI, and 20 runs scored. The AVG is not ideal but he is swinging a hot bat right now and should be owned in more leagues. It was not that long ago that Upton was a 30-homer, useful contributor for fantasy.

Eleven home runs over the past month have catapulted Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to the top of the HR charts. The young phenom has essentially walked as many times as he has struck out and has slugged a MLB-leading .673. This has been so fun to watch and well worth the wait.

The slash line might not be the greatest, but man does Eduardo Escobar have a knack for driving in runs. He has even boosted his percentages over the past month with a .295/.333/.543 slash line to go along with 23 RBI during that span. Escobar is now up to 43 on the year and a 111-RBI full season pace.

Jonathan Schoop has skyrocketed himself into fantasy relevancy over the past month. During that time, spanning 26 games, Schoop has driven in 21 runs while slashing .343/.419/.647. At this pace, he will be a targeted name at the trade deadline, in which his role may change, so ride it out now.

Tommy Pham has been able to turn his season around hitting .279/.421/.488 over the past month. Pham has also swiped eight bags in nine chances during that time, bringing his total to 11 on the year. He has earned his way back into must-own territory.

Amed Rosario is absolutely raking over the past two weeks and finds himself getting regular run as Cleveland’s number-two hitter. He is hitting .396 over his past 12 games and has chipped in a couple of steals during that time as well. Rosario is now six for six in SB chances.

While Juan Soto’s overall counting stats have been disappointing, the man is getting on base at an elite clip. Soto has a 40:33 walk-to-strikeout ratio, so he is seeing the ball well. It is only a matter of time before the run production comes around.

Clayton Kershaw has looked like prime Kershaw over the past month or so, at least when it comes to his punchouts. He has averaged almost 11 K/9 over his past five turns and is now up to 10.38 K/9 on the year. If he keeps up that pace, it will be the highest strikeout rate Kershaw has posted since 2017.

With 43 K’s over his last 27 innings, Tarik Skubal is showing exactly why he was a top arm in the Tigers’ farm system. Skubal hasn’t just been a bunch of strikeouts during that span either as he has posted a 2.67 ERA. The young lefty is earning his way back into the good graces of fantasy owners.

Josh Hader continues to dominate as one of the best stoppers in baseball. The lefty is now perfect in all 17 save chances with an unreal 0.68 ERA and 0.75 WHIP.

With Kendall Graveman finally back from the IL, the Rafael Montero era can thankfully end in Seattle. Graveman has been excellent out of the pen this year, and as the Mariners’ primary closer.

Still posting a minuscule 0.83 WHIP on the year, Joe Musgrove has an even lower 0.64 mark over the past month. Musgrove has enjoyed his first season in San Diego immensely and, as a result, has established himself as a fantasy ace.

Former Cardinals prospect Austin Gomber has been pretty solid in his first year with the Rockies. Gomber has posted a sub-4.00 ERA, a WHIP of 1.13, five wins, and more than a strikeout per inning. Can’t ask for much more from a pitcher in Colorado.

Tyler Glasnow has posted a quality start in six of his last eight starts. For a guy who has had a history of command issues and going deep into games, it is such a welcome sight to see Glasnow dominating at the big league level like he has this year.

There is not much to write home about here. After a bit of a rough patch, Cole Irvin has put up back-to-back quality starts. The two starts give him seven on the year, which is more than a lot of higher owned arms in fantasy. His ERA has been quite up and down, so here’s to hoping this is the start of another solid stretch for the right-hander.
