Josh Bell (1B-PIT): Josh Bell went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, a RBI and two runs scored, but the Pirates fell short to the Reds. When the Pirates went way over slot to sign Bell away from his commitment...

Lonnie Chisenhall- 3B- CLE- Idea- Chisenhall has played in the outfield almost exclusively this season and that's where he's eligible. His .305/.345/.469 slash line against RH pitching is an asset. Jose Berrios has had problems with LH hitting with a...

Jonathan Villar-Brewers-SS Jonathan Villar was 1-4 with a run scored against the Cardinals. Villar is now slashing .298/.377/.464, which is an absolute ridiculous line from someone that was supposed to lose their job to a rookie during the season. Villar...

Jonathan Schoop (BAL) - Jonathan Schoop helped to power the Orioles on Friday night, but they fell short to the Tigers. Schoop hit a two-run home run off Detroit start Michael Fulmer in the 6th inning. On the season, Schoop...

Kevin Kiermaier Kiermaier stayed red hot Thursday, going deep twice more, bringing his season total to 11 home runs, four of which have come in the last week. Kiermaier is now sporting a 12-game hit streak, with four steals during...

Daniel Descalso- SS- COL- Idea- Descalso is available at a bargain price to play either SS or 1B. His slash line of .273/.377/.429 against RH pitching is solid, if not spectacular. Matched up against Luis Perdomo and his .316/.369/.498 slash...

Brandon Belt, 1B, SF Belt homered against the Rockies on Wednesday, his 1st HR since Aug 13 and his 1st hit in the month of September as he just broke out of an 0-19 skid. Belt made the all-star team...

AJ Pollock, Arizona Diamondbacks - AJ Pollock launched his second homer of the season Tuesday and has gotten off to a great start to his season in late August triple slashing .286/.359/.457 with a 116 wRC+. If owners (like myself)...

Jake Odorizzi (SP-TB) - Odorizzi and Chris Archer stayed, while Matt Moore went at the trade deadline. It would not be surprising to see trade talks around Odorizzi and Archer revisited this winter, as the Rays have, as usual, a...

Kendrys Morales (DH/1B) KC - Morales homered again on Monday, giving him 3 during his current 8-game hitting streak. Sure, Morales has been a bit of a disappointment this year, but the hard contact rate of 40.8% is extremely impressive,...

Seth Lugo-Mets-SP Seth Lugo went 7 IP and gave up 0 ER on 6 H, 0 BB, and 4 K's against the Nationals. Lugo now has a 2.38 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, and 20% K. He has now made four starts...

Byron Buxton, OF, MIN Buxton went 3-6 with a HR and a 2B on Sunday and is now 9-16 with 3 HR's and 3 2B's since rejoining the Twins at the beginning of September. During the four-game stretch, Buxton has...

Yoan Moncada, Boston Red Sox - Yoan Moncada notched his first two hits of his career, including a double, a RBI and two runs scored. This gives him two straight starts for the Red Sox at third and it looks...

Jake Lamb (3B-ARI): Jake Lamb went 2-for-5, hitting his 27th homer to lead the D-backs. While Lamb's average and home run rate have fallen off in the second half, his peripherals suggest that he's been the victim of bad luck,...

AJ Pollock (AZ) - It's been a long wait for AJ Pollock, but he's finally making an impact for both the Diamondbacks and the fantasy owners. Pollock has now hit safely in 4 straight games and on Friday night he...

Alex Cobb (SP, TB): Cobb made his highly anticipated return from Tommy John surgery, and it was a resounding success. He tossed 84 pitches, making it through five innings and yielding two runs on four hits and one walk, striking...

Clayton Richard- P- SD- Idea- Richard has quality starts in the last 2 of his 3 starts since he was put in the rotation last month. He will be facing a Dodgers team where only Charlie Culberson has a batting...

Tim Anderson Tim Anderson left Thursday's game with a bruised right calf, but the injury doesn't sound too serious. Anderson has had himself a productive rookie season, hitting .282 with seven home runs and seven steals in 308 plate appearances....
