Nobody has hit for a higher AVG over the past month than David Fletcher, who produced a sizzling .402 BA. After a dreadful start to the year, it was only a matter of time before Fletcher turned it around. He is the definition of an empty batting average, as evidenced by his .366 SLG.

Starlin Castro has a .356 AVG and .910 OPS over the past 30 days and a .417/.473/.563 line over his last two weeks. The veteran infielder is currently in the midst of a 13-game hitting streak and has raised his season-long batting average from .248 to .277 during that span.

Off the list: Ronald Acuña Jr. (injury)
Jake Cronenworth has been the unsung hero for the Padres this season. The former pitcher turned position player has done it all for San Diego and fantasy owners. “Crone” has scored 24 runs across his last 26 games and currently sits eighth in the majors in the category with 63. As long as he continues to hit second or third in the Padres lineup, he should continue to produce solid fantasy value across the board.

Former home run king Pete Alonso has not had the greatest first half, but he is starting to heat up. With six HRs over the past two weeks, Alonso now has 17 on the year and looks to defend his Home Run Derby crown during this week’s All-Star break. Alonso is a prime second-half breakout candidate.

With seven homers over his last 13 games, AJ Pollock is back on mixed league radars. Considering Pollock’s health, if you are willing to roll the dice, especially for those who may have lost Ronald Acuña Jr., the veteran outfielder is worth a look.

Manny Machado has gotten red hot over the past month. He is slashing .348/.431/.652 since the middle of June, including 23 RBI over his last 27 games. Machado is far too talented to be performing the way he was, so this was fully expected to happen.

Josh Bell has been delivering friendly reminders of just how good he can be and how good he was in Pittsburgh before coming to Washington. Bell has driven in 18 runs over his last 23 games and looks to be making up for lost time. The Nationals are talking about playing Bell in left field in the second half, so they are looking for any way to keep him in the lineup, which is good news for fantasy owners.

Going a perfect 10-for-10 in swipes for the past month, Raimel Tapia now has 15 SBs on the year, which is already a career-high. Tapia has been one of the very few bright spots for the Rockies in 2021 and looks to be well on his way to a 10/20 year while also serving as a solid source of batting average.

Akil Baddoo has swiped five bags over the past two weeks, which leads the majors over that stretch. He is batting leadoff consistently for the Tigers, so he should be given more opportunities to run.

Justin Turner has been red hot (no pun intended) over his last 23 games. Turner has a 1.011 OPS over that span, including a .462 OBP. The veteran third baseman has always had a natural knack for getting on base during his time with the Dodgers, and this year is no different.

Off the list: J.P. Crawford, Yonathan Daza
Over the last two weeks, Jace Peterson has a .349/.473/.628 slash line, as well as 12 RBI and 11 runs scored. He is a pretty solid real-life hitter but is not the most intriguing for fantasy purposes. Though, for the time being, he looks to be a decent pick-up in deeper leagues.

Pitching to the tune of a 1.67 ERA since May 6th, Zack Wheeler currently holds a 2.26 mark on the year, which is good for fifth in the majors. The Phillies got a lot of flack for the contract they gave to Wheeler but he is proving he is worth every penny.

Eduardo Rodriguez is making baby steps in the right direction. He continues to string a couple of good starts together and then takes two steps back. However, one thing he has done consistently is strike guys out. Rodriguez is punching out over 10 batters per nine on the year.

Stripling has not had the easiest transition to the American League but recently has strung together seven strong outings over his last nine starts.

Germán Márquez has reeled off nine quality starts across his last ten outings. The right-hander is on an incredible roll and has rightfully earned a spot on the National League All-Star roster.

Off the list: Joe Ross (injury), JT Brubaker, Johnny Cueto
Jameson Taillon wrapped up his first half with three quality starts in his last four outings, including one against Houston. We all know what Taillon is capable of when healthy and he has shown flashes of his brilliance this year. Here’s to hoping the right-hander can put it all together and has a big second half.
