It's been an up and down season for Nomar Mazara. In April, he hit .229, in May he hit .340, in June he hit .202, in July he hit .205, and over the past month, he's been slashing .311/.371/.491, going 2-2, 1 HR, 2 R, 2 RBI on Wednesday, so if you've had him since the beginning of August, you've been happy. His ownership has seen similar waves, as he was typically drafted right at the end of most drafts and dropped when he started struggling. Then when he turned it on in May, everyone owned him, only to drop him in June and July, only to pick him up again. Unfortunately this is the nature of someone like Mazara, he's a power hitter first and foremost, and power hitters go through streaks often dictated by their BABIP. In April, June, and July, the three months where he was terrible, his BABIP was .247, .222, and .230 respectively. Mazara is one of those guys who should always be owned but should be benched when he's slumping, and luckily right now, he's on his good streak, and if you happen to be lucky enough to be in one of the 41% of leagues he's available in, I'd grab him. One note of warning though, he was taken out of Wednesday's game with quad tightness, though the Rangers have Thursday off, so that might be all the time he needs to recover. Just keep an eye on it.
Let's take a look at some of the other performances from Wednesday:
