Another week of baseball in the books, which means another fresh edition of CPR!

Off the list: Luis Arraez
Trea Turner is beginning to heat up, batting .400 over this past week to raise his season AVG to .308 to go along with six dingers and seven swipes. He is justifying his first-round draft position through April as he is currently on a 40/40 pace.

Off the list: Donovan Solano (injury), Jed Lowrie, José Iglesias
It may be too late to pick him up in a lot of competitive leagues, but Kolten Wong is hitting .412 since returning from injury. For the most part, we already know who Wong is as an offensive talent at this point in his career. The move to Miller Park, however, is definitely worth monitoring when it comes to Wong because as we have seen over the years, left-handed bats certainly benefit.

Off the list: Francisco Lindor
After returning from the injured list, the dynamic Fernando Tatis Jr. has 15 runs scored across 14 games and has 19 in as many games on the season. His plate discipline needs some polishing, but the kid is a game-changer at the dish. As long as the Padres keep him in the leadoff spot, Tatis should be looking at 120+ runs this year.

| 10 | Jed Lowrie | OAK | 2B | -8 |
Off the list: Nick Senzel, Aaron Hicks
After an abysmal start for Andrew Benintendi, the former first-round pick has slashed .367/.457/.700 over his last nine games and has scored nine runs during that span. Benintendi is a former top prospect as well as a former fantasy stud, so for him to return to form at the age of 26 is not outside the realm of possibility. Keep tabs on him.

Is this it?! Are we finally witnessing the potential of Byron Buxton on display? If so, strap in and enjoy the ride. The former number one prospect has had a myriad of injuries over his now seven-year career which has derailed his path to stardom and filled his name with “what if’s”. As long as health permits for the now 27-year-old, Buxton’s power should continue to impress.

Off the list: Carlos Santana (ownership), Carson Kelly, Wilson Ramos, Adam Duvall
Josh Rojas has homered now in three straight games for the Diamondbacks. Rojas gained a ton of steam towards the end of spring training in the fantasy community as he was absolutely mashing in the preseason. A slow start to the year and inconsistent playing time caused many to grow cold on Rojas, but with multi-position eligibility across most formats and a track record of being a power/speed threat in the minors, Rojas needs to be back on managers’ radars.

Off the list: Trevor Story
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is showing exactly why he was a once-in-a-generation prospect. The guy is absolutely crushing the baseball and is looking like a four-category fantasy stalwart. Those who invested in him at the rich price he was being drafted in the preseason could not be happier right now. Vlad is currently on a 46-HR, 130-RBI pace.

Off the list: Tyler Naquin, Jonathan India, Jed Lowrie
In the first month plus of the year, Colin Moran has 19 RBI while slashing .297/.356/.495. Moran has driven in more runs than Nolan Arenado, Freddie Freeman, and Manny Machado. Being in such a mediocre lineup, one would have to assume his numbers will plateau and normalize, but those in need of a middle infielder or corner infielder in a roto league should ride it out.

The bat has cooled off a tad for Whit Merrifield, but the pleasant sight of five stolen bases over the past week has surely made up for it. He is now tied for the league lead in swipes and is currently on a 50-SB pace.

Off the list: Leody Taveras, Elvis Andrus
Jurickson Profar’s career high in SBs is 10 and yet here he is halfway there through 28 games. The former top prospect is playing all over the diamond for San Diego but is getting regular run as their left fielder, so he is worth a look if you are lacking in the speed column—as long as he continues to run, that is.

Over his past 11 games, Aaron Judge is slashing .343/.489/.686. Judge is looking like the near-MVP caliber hitter we have only seen flashes of since his break out in 2017. He will have his share of strikeouts but he will also get on base a ton, a seen with his .390 career OBP.

Austin Riley is walking at a career high 11.2% so far in 2021 and either it is a fluke or Riley has turned a new leaf at the major league level. The slugging Bravo has shown decent discipline in the minors before but it had not translated in the bigs just yet. Here’s to hoping it is here to stay because if so, Riley looks like a nice multi-category bat in fantasy.

With quality starts in his last five outings, Clayton Kershaw has four wins during that span. The now-33-year old has not slowed down and is still an elite SP that will contribute his fair share of victories on the best team in baseball.

While the numbers for the season are pretty unsightly, over his last three starts, Madison Bumgarner has reeled off three consecutive wins. MadBum’s peripherals show he has pitched better than his 5.58 ERA, and while he may never be the Bumgarner of old, if he can keep this up he will be worth a pick-up.

Outside of a lone start against the Nationals, Marcus Stroman has allowed a mere two earned runs combined over 25 innings spanning four starts. Stroman appears to be an excellent number two behind Jacob deGrom in the Mets’ rotation.

Since returning to the Yankees’ rotation, Domingo Germán has shown drastic improvements en route to allowing only two earned runs across two starts. Whether it is the changing of the guard behind the dish for the Bombers or Germán making some adjustments while at their alternate site, he deserves to be owned in all leagues until further notice.

Off the list: Kenta Maeda
If you aren’t on the Trevor Rogers hype train, then you’re missing out. The 23-year old’s velocity is up a tick from last year and he is utilizing his fastball to his benefit. Rogers has 44 K’s through six starts which is a higher total than Lucas Giolito and Aaron Nola. It is a small sample but the lefty is looking like a solid fantasy contributor the rest of the year, barring any innings restrictions.

Adam Wainwright has been out since last week due to being exposed to COVID-19, but it sounds like he will be back early this week. Waino has turned back the clock this year, and even dating back to last year, as he has been getting more strikeouts than he has ever before. He has 31 K’s across his last 26 innings. He might be worth an add if any impatient owners in your league dropped the veteran right-hander.

While there was a lot of questioning over who would close for the Padres this year, Mark Melancon has made it pretty clear so far. The veteran reliever now has a league-leading nine saves and a sparkling 0.69 ERA and 0.38 WHIP.

Lou Trivino has been nails since taking over the closer role in Oakland. The Athletics went out and got Trevor Rosenthal this past offseason with full intentions of him being the ninth inning stopper but an injury put that plan on the shelf. Trivino is 4-for-4 in save opportunities and is boasting a 1.20 ERA and 0.93 WHIP.

Julio Urías has proven himself to be a master at limiting baserunners, as evident by his 1.08 WHIP over the last three years. He has cut his walks down each year during that span including this season thus far. As he continues to sharpen his command, Urías is looking like a very special arm.

Anthony DeSclafani has found a home in San Francisco and the fantasy community is rejoicing because of it. There have been flashes from DeSclafani of brilliance and underlying numbers that showed promise, but all it took was a move out of Great American Ballpark. Makes sense. DeSclafani has a sub-1.00 WHIP through six starts and does not look like he is slowing down.

Can you believe Kevin Gausman is in the midst of putting together back-to-back great seasons? He has built off of his impressive 2020 and through five starts owns an ERA a hair over 2.00 and has posted four quality starts. Like DeSclafani, Gausman appears to have found a home in SanFran.

Jose Ureña has now tallied four straight quality starts. Pretty impressive feat, considering three of them were against the Yankees, White Sox, and Athletics. The Tigers righty looks to be firmly on the streaming radar and if he can continue to get the whiffs he has been generating, he will creep into must-own territory.
