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

Nobody has hit better over the past two weeks than Bryce Harper. The veteran outfielder is slashing .396/.434/.917, including six HRs and 13 RBI over his last 12 games. The reigning NL MVP has picked up right where he left off so far in 2022.

Barring any injury, Luis Arraez will most likely remain at the top of this list for the entire season. Arraez is the king of empty batting average as he only has 63 extra-base hits across 271 career games, therefore he won’t provide you much else other than AVG.

Off the list: Marcus Semien, Jonathan India (injury)
Christian Yelich is starting to show some signs of life. The 2018 NL MVP really has not replicated any of his success from 2018-2019 over the course of the last couple of years. This may be due to several lingering injuries that the veteran outfielder has sustained, so it is nice to see Yelich start turning it on over the last couple of weeks. Yelich has a .961 OPS along with 11 runs scored over his last dozen games.

Brandon Drury has somehow found himself back into fantasy relevancy. Drury, now on the Reds, has been getting regular runs batting second on a very bad team but has made the most of it. The veteran infielder has ten runs scored over his last nine games to go along with seven HRs and 22 RBI.

Giancarlo Stanton’s strikeout rate may be through the roof, but it has not slowed him down from absolutely crushing the baseball. Stanton has mashed six homers over his last 11 games for the best-record-in-baseball Yankees.

Jesús Aguilar has clubbed four HRs over his last 12 games and has driven in 11 RBI during that span. Aguilar has gotten off to a solid start in 2022 for the Marlins and should be rostered in deeper mixed roto leagues.

Pete Alonso has had quite the nose for the RBI thus far this season. Alonso has driven in 29 runs including 12 across his last 13 games. The Mets’ slugger has even been hitting for a higher AVG as well so here’s to hoping we see some shades of the 2019 Alonso that took the league by storm.

Colin Moran has driven in 15 runs over his last 13 games and now finds himself with more RBI than the likes of Freddie Freeman, Matt Olson, and Mike Trout. He is on the deep league radar now.

In only ten games since returning from injury, Ronald Acuña Jr. has already tallied five swipes in as many chances. The young superstar is bound to be among the league leaders in HRs and SBs come years end, even with the late start to his 2022 campaign.

Jorge Mateo currently leads the league in stolen bases. Too early to tell if it is in fact… too early to tell if Mateo can keep this pace up, but, for now, he should be rostered in deeper mixed leagues.

Josh Bell is enjoying a fantastic start to his 2022 contract year. Bell is slashing a robust .336/.428/.488 with 21 RBI. The switch-hitting first baseman is coming off of a very solid and overlooked 2021 and is looking to cash in this offseason.

Ben Gamel has been on a roll of late. The Pirates outfielder enjoyed a decent little 111-game sample size last year with Pittsburgh and has picked up right where he left off in 2022. Over the past two weeks, Gamel is hitting .367/.426/.612.

I think it is safe to say Justin Verlander is back. The 39-year-old is now 5-1 across seven starts including four in a row. Verlander also owns a microscopic 1.38 ERA.

Corbin Burnes has really had some bad luck to this point. The reigning NL Cy Young has a 1.77 ERA through seven starts but only a lackluster 1-2 record to show for it. Over his last three starts, Burnes has a 1.80 ERA and an 0-2 record. One would have to imagine that the wins will start to fall for the righty.

Remember José Quintana? It has been a good five or six years since Quintana has been relevant in any sense of the word, but here we are in 2022 and the veteran lefty is back on fantasy radars. Quintana has allowed three runs or fewer in all seven of his starts and now sports a 2.19 ERA on the year.

Off the list: Jake Diekman, Tanner Rainey
David Bednar is now 7-for-7 in save opportunities with a splendid 1.00 ERA and 0.61 WHIP. While he may not get many chances for the Pirates, he should still provide great ratios for fantasy owners.

Mark Melancon has been pretty horrendous in the closer’s role for Arizona, to the point where you have to wonder when the move will be made to replace him. Ian Kennedy filled in nicely for Melancon while he was on the shelf and has the experience to make sense as a serviceable replacement.

Pablo López has been downright excellent to this point in 2022. The 26-year-old has allowed more than one run only once across seven starts and has a sparkling 0.81 WHIP, good for third in the majors.

One of the best pitchers in the American League to this point, Paul Blackburn has done an excellent job at limiting baserunners, to the tune of a 0.90 WHIP. He needs to be owned in more than two-thirds of leagues.

Off the list: Charlie Morton
With four consecutive quality starts, Zac Gallen’s numbers improve to a 1.05 ERA and 0.67 WHIP. The right-hander has had some tough luck, though, compiling only two victories so far this year.

Off the list: Eric Lauer (ownership), Miles Mikolas (ownership), Cole Irvin (injury), Michael Pineda (injury), Marco Gonzales, Zack Greinke
While inconsistent, Austin Gomber has still posted quality starts in four of his last five outings. Two of those four were in the hitter-friendly confines of Coors Field as well. Gomber is far from a must-own but he is a guy who can log a QS from time to time depending on the opponent. He is firmly on the streaming radar.
