Hitting .370 over the past month, Jeff McNeil has put himself right back into the conversation of useful fantasy options. After just a dreadful start to the year hampered by injuries, McNeil is now up to a .276 AVG.

Harrison Bader has been white hot over his last 21 games. The young outfielder is slashing .382/.422/.632 over that span. Bader has shown flashes of his talent before but he has finally put together a nice season with 15 combined HRs and SBs.

Chris Taylor has been a consistent force all season long. And as if the Dodgers’ lineup couldn’t get any more potent, they go out and get Trea Turner to add to it. Taylor has steadily hit atop the L.A. order and it has resulted in a 122-run full season pace. We shall see what the Dodgers will do in terms of their lineup construction but one would have to think the addition of Turner can only help Taylor’s production.

Brandon Nimmo is just such an underrated player, both in real life and in fantasy. The 28-year old is an on-base machine and as long as he is healthy will provide you with enough runs and AVG to be worth yof a roster spot in most leagues.

Maybe all Pete Alonso needed was the Home Run Derby to get him going. Alonso has gone deep six times since the All-Star break and is now up to 23 on the year. We all know the power he possesses, it’s just a matter of him tapping into it consistently.

Seven homers over his last 20 games and being traded to Atlanta has put Jorge Soler back on deep league radars. Maybe a change of scenery will be what Soler needs to tap into his potential that we saw from the slugger a couple of years ago.

Manny Machado is heating up and it could not come at a better time for both the Padres and fantasy owners. The All-Star third baseman has driven in 25 runs over his last 23 contests now putting him in the top ten in baseball for the category.

The Brewers can do no wrong right now. Since joining the Brew Crew, Rowdy Tellez is slashing .349/.431/.674 in with four HRs and 12 RBI in 17 games. The big first baseman has massive power upside, all he needs is a chance, and to cut down on the strikeouts.

Raimel Tapia is 8-for-8 in stolen base attempts in his last 19 games. Tapia has been a solid contributor across the board this year for Colorado and in fantasy, but it has been the SBs that has set him apart.

Greg Allen has been the spark plug the Yankees have needed since the All-Star break. Allen is 5-for-5 in SB attempts since being called up and should be given the green light whenever in the lineup for a very slow Yankees team.

Walker Buehler is 3-0 over his last five outings with a sparkling 1.67 ERA. After somewhat of a subpar start to the year, Buehler has been the ace everyone drafted him to be since the middle of May. The talented righty is 10-1 and owns a 1.58 ERA since May 17th. He is really good.

Going 4-1 in his last five turns, Kwang Hyun Kim now owns six victories and a 3.31 ERA on the year. Kim has been a nice surprise for the Cards and fantasy owners this year, and although he does not miss any bats, he should remain a decent SP the remainder of the year.

Hyun Jin Ryu has always done a solid job of limiting damage, as evidence by his career 2.99 ERA. Ryu has been excellent over his last four outings posting three victories and a 1.61 ERA. Expect more of the same from Ryu as the season comes to a close.

If it wasn’t for the unfortunate truth that Kyle Freeland pitches for the lowly Rockies, he would be a much more popular add in mixed leagues right now. The left-hander has gone 0-4 over his last five starts but has a very nice 2.40 ERA during that span.

Frankie Montas has punched out 37 batters over his last 25.2 innings and now has 132 Ks in 119 IP for the season. Montas has looked like an ace over the past month and is firmly entrenched back into the “must start” category among SPs.

Patrick Sandoval has been downright nasty. The lefty has 70 Ks over his last 56 innings with a 3.21 ERA dating back to June 6th. One of those starts was a near no-hitter in which he punched out 13 batters. He needs to be owned across all formats.

With the trade deadline just barely in our rearview mirror, the ninth inning picture for most teams is still pretty cloudy. Jake McGee has separated himself from Tyler Rogers as the clear guy for saves for the NL West leading Giants. McGee has converted his last ten save opportunities.

Off the list: Taylor Rogers (injury), Joakim Soria, Ranger Suárez, Kendall Graveman
Gregory Soto has converted five of his last six save opportunities for the Tigers. Soto was named to the All-Star game for a reason. The lefty has an electric arm and while saves will be hard to come by pitching for the Tigers, he is still worth a look if you are lagging behind in the category.

The newest member of the Blue Jays’ rotation, José Berríos, has posted a league leading 0.76 WHIP over the past month. We kind of know what to expect from the 27-year old righty, but it will be interesting to see if he can tap into another gear with his new team.

Merrill Kelly has put himself on the streaming radar in mixed leagues. Wins will be hard to come by pitching for Arizona, but Kelly has been rock solid over his last five outings posting a 3.48 ERA and 1.10 WHIP.

Off the list: Trevor Rogers
Luis Castillo’s turnaround cannot be overstated. He has posted nine quality starts across his last 11 outings, and the two that he did not, he was only an out or two away. He is very much back.

Cal Quantrill has now reeled off four quality starts over his last five turns. He is on a nice little roll right now and has lowered his ERA to 3.40.
