Off the list: Jeff McNeil, Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa
The plate discipline still leaves little to be desired, but Teoscar Hernández has figured a way around that to post a very solid AVG this year. We know about the power he possesses, but it has been the batting average that has set him apart this year and his .376 BABIP may have something to do with it. Tough to say he will be able to keep this up in the future but as for 2021, there is no reason to expect anything less during the final weeks.

Starling Marte was already having a nice offensive season before being traded to Oakland but he has stepped it up even more since being dealt. Marte is slashing .397/.433/.556 with 10 steals and 12 runs in 14 games during his time with his new squad.

Hitting leadoff for the Red Sox, Enrique Hernández has been excellent over the past month. With 20 runs scored during that time, Kiké is on a full-season pace of over 100 runs. As long as he remains in that position of the order, he will be worth rostering in deeper leagues.

Off the list: Kris Bryant, Giancarlo Stanton
Is Joey Votto back? After about three-plus years of mediocrity, Votto has been the hottest hitter on the planet over the past month and has catapulted himself back into relevancy. The former MVP now owns a .282/.374/.580 slash line with 26 HRs and 75 RBI across only 88 games. The veteran first baseman has launched 15 bombs over his last 26 games and will be an interesting name on draft boards next year.

It was not all that long ago that Lewis Brinson was a top prospect in baseball. The now 27-year old outfielder has four home runs and 17 RBI over his last 13 games and now has seven dingers across 138 at-bats. His pedigree warrants an add in deeper leagues.

Myles Straw has been successful on his last eight SB attempts. The 26-year old is now 20-for-25 on the year. If he can figure it out at the dish, he would become a very intriguing fantasy asset.

Tyler Wade has played his way into some regular run with the Yankees, especially with all of their injuries. Wade is successful in eight of his last nine SB attempts and as long as Gleyber Torres is out, Wade remains relevant in deep leagues until he cools off.

Jesse Winker’s strong breakout continues. Over the last month, Winker owns a .347/.451/.663 line and has driven in 21 runs. Winker has always shown a great approach and elite profile in OBP leagues. This year, he has been elite in any league.

Off the list: None
With four wins over his last six starts, including two complete games, Zack Wheeler now has ten victories on the year. The veteran right-hander somehow has seven losses despite a pristine 2.56 ERA. He is going to be one of the first arms off the board in drafts next year.

You might be seeing Brent Suter’s name and thinking “but isn’t Suter a relief pitcher?”; you would be right. But the lefty has vultured his way to 11 victories out of the pen. That is more than Gerrit Cole, Zack Wheeler, and Lucas Giolito, among other studs. Deeper leagues should give him a look as he is not only tallying up wins, but he has pitched very effectively for the Brew Crew.

Since May 11th, Logan Webb has had a 1.53 ERA across ten starts. There are few in the game with a lower mark, and not only is Webb limiting damage, but he is striking out more than a batter per inning on the year. With a 2.96 ERA over 17 games, if Webb is somehow floating around on your wire, go pick him up NOW.

Corbin Burnes is in the thick of things for the NL Cy Young award. Burnes has a 1.89 ERA over his last five starts and has K’d 48 batters over 33.1 innings during that span. Burnes will be a hot name coming off of draft boards next spring.

Elieser Hernandez was activated off the IL this past weekend and made what was just his third start of the year. Hernandez is the forgotten part of that young core of arms that the Marlins have and he impressed in his first start back from a quad injury. The 26-year old has shown the ability to miss bats so he should be scooped up for the stretch run.

Over the past month, Gregory Soto has the most saves in baseball going a perfect 8-for-8. While there is not a ton of stock to put in that, especially closing for Detroit, Soto is still only owned in 57% of Yahoo leagues and less than 40% of ESPN leagues.

The Red’s closing carousel continues! Mychal Givens appears to be the next guy up… I think? The veteran reliever has converted all three save opportunities since joining the Cincinnati pen. He is only relevant in the deepest of leagues.

Chris Bassitt may very well finish in the top three for the AL Cy Young award. The right-hander owns a 3.06 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP for the year to go along with ten wins. Bassitt has been one of the best fantasy draft picks of 2021.

Josiah Gray has been getting a regular turn in the rotation for the rebuilding Nationals since being acquired in the Trea Turner/Max Scherzer deal. Gray has shown real effectiveness and the ability to miss bats and limit damage. He appears to be a future building block for that Washington rotation.

The veteran soft-tosser, Zack Greinke, has reeled off three QS over his last four outings. and his season total is now up to 13 on the year. Greinke has consistently been towards the top of this category over the last several years due to his ability to eat innings and great command. He is about as reliable as they come.

Marco Gonzales has gotten his season back on track over his last five outings turning in three consecutive QS during that time. Gonzales will not miss bats, but as we saw last year, he has shown he can be a decent, reliable option on most fantasy benches.
