What Cleveland SS Francisco Lindor is accomplishing right now during this second half is simply incredible. Not only has he reached safely in all but two September games (a BB in two of his four hitless games this month), but he's got the eighth-best slugging percentage league-wide since the All-Star break. His 1-4, R, HR, 3 RBI, BB, 2 K line in Anaheim yesterday provided the cushion the Indians would need to pull off the sweep and cap off their 27th win in 28 games. He's emerged as arguably the most valuable fantasy switch hitter this year. His 93 runs and 86 RBI have been instrumental to the Indians enjoying the success they've had this year. Surprisingly, he has more RBI in 54 games at leadoff than he does from the 2-spot he's played from in 93 games this year. The average splits also favor him atop the order (.293 versus .272).
Elsewhere in the league, we had some other notable hitting performances:
Need an OF for final week (tues-sun). 6×6 including OBP. Castellanos @kc and Min, Fowler home vs Cubs and Mil, Desmond 5 at Coors
