Hanser Alberto has hit .356 in June and has fround himself in the leadoff spot in the Orioles lineup. Alberto has shown a good ability to hit for a high average throughout the minors so this could be pretty legit.

DJ LeMahieu has been invaluable for the Yankees thus far. The veteran infielder will be starting the All-Star game for the junior circuit and for good reason. LeMahieu is on a 127-run pace right now.

Yandy Diaz was just activated from the injured list and he is more than likely available in your league. The remarkably strong corner infielder was enjoying a nice first season in Tampa Bay before a hamstring strain sidelined him. He has the ability and strength to be a real force at the dish.

Howie Kendrick deserves to be an All-Star. Whether he gets the nod or not, the guy is enjoying somewhat of a career resurgence. He is doing it all for the Nationals and with multi-position eligibility, Kendrick needs to be owned in more leagues.

Fernando Tatis Jr. has been as advertised. He is looking like a five-category fantasy stud for many many years to come. The rookie phenom is now up to 12 steals in 15 attempts and has a legit shot at a 20/20 year.

Manuel Margot has been getting a little bit more run in the San Diego outfield of late. The 24-year old has ten swipes so far and if he gets more regular playing time, he could be looking at a 30-steal season.

Currently walking around 17% of the time, Rhys Hoskins is becoming one of the best all around hitters in the game. His profile is similar to that of Anthony Rizzo, albeit with a few more strikeouts. He is going to be good for a long time.

Alex Verdugo has done an exceptional job at making contact. He doesn’t walk a ton, but he also strikes out less than 10% of the time. That’s pretty remarkable.

Aaron Nola may finally be turning the corner. He has not won a decision since the end of May, but he has allowed one run over his last two starts to go with 20 K’s across 15 IP. He has had some walk and home run issues but things may be looking up.

Despite a little bit of a blow up this weekend, Jordan Yamamoto has been excellent since joining the Marlins rotation. He is averaging a strikeout per inning and he has posted great strikeout numbers at all levels of the minors, so there is reason to believe that he will remain a great source of K’s.

| 10 | Jose Leclerc | TEX | RP | -2 |
Off the List: Pedro Strop, Diego Castillo (injury)
Save chances are not going to be prevalent in Kansas City, but Ian Kennedy has done a nice job in the closer’s role. He is 10-for-12 in save chances now. His fastball velocity is up a couple notches now coming out of the bullpen. If you are someone who lost Jordan Hicks for the year without snagging a replacement in the Cardinals’ pen, you could do worse than Kennedy.

Off the List: None
German Marquez has allowed 45 baserunners across his last 30 innings pitched. Marquez has shown signs of his dominance from 2018 but he ultimately has been done in by Coors Field. Tough matchups at home are starting to look like they need to be avoided with Marquez.

Off the List: James Paxton
Mike Minor has more quality starts than Chris Sale, Stephen Strasburg, and Aaron Nola. Pretty remarkable year for the assumed soon-to-be-traded Rangers lefty.

Off the List: Lance Lynn (ownership), Spencer Turnbull (injury)
There are only six pitchers in all of baseball who have more quality starts than Mike Fiers. The veteran righty is turning into a very solid source of not only QS but also WHIP and he’s tallied eight wins thus far.
