Not a lot of changes this week, as only a handful of games have happened between this list and the last one, but I’ve dug into a few players with the time off.
Also, these will start publishing on Thursday again starting next week, just had some personal schedule conflicts lately.
- As a reminder, these rankings are geared toward a standard, daily, 12-team H2H redraft league, which is typically the most popular fantasy baseball format. They will only factor in the five standard categories: runs, RBI, home runs, batting average, and stolen bases.
- These are not best ball or draft and hold rankings. The 12-team redraft format with daily moves is the fundamental opposite of that. Pure volume plays are not valued as much here as in those no-move formats.
- I take rankings like this more as art than science. Every person’s rankings are influenced by their biases, strategic philosophies, risk assessments, and projections. It’s why no two rankings are ever exactly alike. My way of evaluating and ranking players has worked well for me, but it might not be an excellent fit for you. I can’t possibly predict your team’s specific needs, your leaguemates’ player evaluations, or your current waiver wire, and if I could, it’d be weird in a bad way.
- This is a safe space for me where I answer to no one but myself…and you if you leave a comment.
- I’m doing my best to use five starts or 10 appearances as the threshold for positional eligibility. I have not included presumed eligibilities based on likely new positions, but I’ll add them once those eligibilities are earned. This is just a maintenance thing, and we will update eligibility throughout the season. Feel free to let me know if I’m missing any!
Ranking Philosophy
To keep things in the same ilk, here are a couple of notes on how I generally evaluate hitters before we dive in:
- In 12-team formats, I don’t see much value in guys who only provide stolen bases. It’s an important category, especially in Roto, but in shallower formats, there are too many other (and better) ways to get the steals you need without sacrificing production in the other categories.
- No stat is an island, and they should all be taken in proper context. For ranking purposes, the primary starting points I use are plate discipline, wRC+, quality-of-contact metrics (also known as Statcast batted-ball data), lineup context, and the skills we can measure with tools such as our PLV Hitter Attributes (available to PL Pro members). I also use various projections (some free, some I buy) and dollar value generators.
- Positional eligibility, specifically multi-eligibility, is neat but isn’t a huge factor in many 10- and 12-team leagues anymore due to the prevalence of multi-eligible players. It’s more valuable in deeper contests like the NFBC or in leagues with limited roster moves (draft-and-hold leagues, transaction limits/costs, extremely short benches, etc.). Still, the value is fairly situational and context-dependent.
- Similarly, I don’t penalize players for only qualifying in the utility slot. At most, it is a mild inconvenience if a DH-only player is available at a great value and you already have filled your utility spots.
- Regardless of true talent, anyone talented enough to make it to the big leagues can be brilliant or putrid for 50 to 100 at-bats. It could even last over a month with no change in potential or skill. It also could be wildly meaningful. We can’t and don’t know which will be valid until it’s over, though track record, scouting, and trends can give us hints.
- One of the most difficult things to account for in these rankings is the dynamic between low-ceiling players with clear roles and players with higher ceilings who lack a clear path to playing time. I try to note this in the blurbs as much as I can.
- THIS IS NOT A TRADE CHART. Trade charts need to account for “market” value, which is largely perception-based.

If you’d like input on a player or have any feedback, your best bet is to contact me on Bluesky (@scottchu.pitcherlist.com), X (@ifthechufits), or Reddit (u/ChusephEsquire)
I also host an AMA in the r/fantasybaseball subreddit every Friday (starting sometime in late March) with Nate Schwartz, starting around noon ET that lasts through the rest of the day and into the weekend, so feel free to join the fun and ask questions or make comments.
For additional insight, also check out the Hacks & Jacks podcast! This is a hitter-focused pod with me, Brett Ford, and occasional special guests.
Tier 1
- I’ve expanded Tier 1 to include a few of the best hitters in the game. This is less about a guy like Ohtani losing value and more about the thinning of the gap between the top 1% and the top 5%.
Tier 2
- Jordan Walker continues to make adjustment in-season, a skill he virtually never showed in past seasons and is the root of why he’s become such a stud in 2026. Every time a problem pops up (strikeouts and grounders, primarily), he turns it around in just a few series.
Tier 3
- I remain a huge Miguel Vargas fan for the changes he’s made in 2026, and the bad batted ball luck is finally fading away. Since June 1, Vargas has been a top-five hitter in terms of xwOBA, and it’s just a matter of time before his results start to match the ability.
- Corbin Carroll’s poor results have been well earned, as he’s struck out 32.1% of the time in his last 18 games with just a single barrel and an expected slugging of just .222 in that stretch. We’ve seen Carroll work his way out of slumps before, and I suppose the Break could not have come at a better time for the embattled star. I trust the talent but acknowledge it may be rough waters for a bit until he gets back on track.
Tier 4
- Francisco Lindor has hit the ball just fine in his return, but bad luck has been a factor. Just be patient.
- Drake Baldwin has put those early strikeout woes behind him, and while he has a .583 OPS over his last 16 games despite the fixed plate discipline, his batted ball quality has been exceptional and we should see the ratios jump in short order.
- CJ Abrams has slowly been reverting to the pre-2026 version of himself over the last month or so, with the batted ball quality dropping off hard and the plate discipline reverting to a high-strikeout, low-walk approach. There’s still a dynamic player in here, and he’s shown signs that there’s another level to his game, but Abrams is one of the better sell-high candidates in the game at the moment if you can get a different top-25 option for him (especially if you’re agnostic to the stolen bases).
Tier 5
- It’s a season of peaks and valleys for Ketel Marte, but in the end, what choice do you have but to hold through it all? He should finish as a top-40 hitter as long as he’s just a bit better overall than he was in the first half. The batted ball quality is as good as it was in seasons past, though he’s chasing more, which could explain the streakiness. If that gets corrected, Marte could move up to Tier 4.
- Luis García Jr. is one of just four players to post a wOBA north of .450 since May 25 (around 40 games for most qualified hitters), along with PCA, Wood, and Alvarez. That’s incredible company, and is backed by being one of just seven hitters who have an xwOBA above .400 (the three aforementioned sluggers plus Soto, Ohtani, and Vargas). The hard part is explaining how this all happened in a year, as prior to 2026 García Jr. was a slap-hitting platoon infielder. Sure, his average exit velocity and swing speed are both up between one and two ticks, but neither explains how he’s doubled his home run to fly ball rate, and that usually suggests a lot of good fortune is driving these incredible results that don’t at all resemble anything he’s done before. For better context, the 11 home runs García Jr. hit in June is two more than any two prior months of his career combinedThat’s not to say García Jr. is a fraud by any means, but it does mean I expect at least some kind of slow down just because García Jr. remains a mortal man. I think I’ve baked in that risk with this ranking, as even with less power he should be able to hit for average, and may steal more bases if he’s stopping on first more often. Please don’t read this as a reason to trade García Jr. away, though: I’d rather take the risk that he remains a top-40 hitter than trade him for a lesser value, which is what I’d expect you’d get from managers who are likely skeptical on the whole of this insane surge in power.
- So, let’s talk about Fernando Tatis Jr.. On one hand, Tatis has shown plus power all season long, and his contact ability has finally rebounded to levels seen in prior years. His decision-making has also remained above-average all season, so by those measures, I should be very excited about what Tatis can do for the rest of 2026. And I mean, I am, in theory. This kind of rebound from a mid-season slump is very much like what we saw at the end of 2025, and in general, I buy into players who show above-average marks in all three of our Process+ skills.That said, everything Tatis is showing right now is just a bit less than what we saw in years past. Generally, his power metrics are more good than great, and are well short of his peak marks (except for swing speed). He’s also struggled to consistently get the ball in the air. The wax of the candle we’ve been burning for Tatis in the fantasy community was mostly made of hope that his elite power would return, but at this point, even 15 home runs this season would require a big surge. I’m not going to go so far as to try and pick out a culprit for the lack of power, such as injury, but I am starting to accept that it’s possible that this new, less dynamic (from a power perspective) version of Tatis is just the guy to expect going forward.
If someone in your league is in lvoe with projections and see’s Tatis sitting in the top-10 rest of season for THE BAT X and OOPSY, and the top-15 for ATC, and is willing to offer you a player from the top three or four tiers of this list to get it done, I think it might be wise to take the deal, especially if you need to offload some risk in exchange for a safer asset.
Tier 6
- Rafael Devers has rarely moved up this list in 2026, but he’s smashing the ball when he connects, striking out WAY less (18.8% walk rate and 12.5% strikeout rate in June), and most importantly, he’s making contact when he swings in the zone at a rate MUCH higher than at any point earlier this season. This version of Devers can be a star. The chart below shows just how tightly correlated his zone contact rate and his performance is these days. For those who don’t read a lot of charts, this is as close a relationship as you can get in real-world data that doesn’t measure the same variable.
- Welcome back, Munetaka Murakami! Murakami had exceeded all reasonable expectations before he got hurt, and I do worry that the time away messed with some of the things he needed to continue performing at that level. Still, he’s a top-50 caliber hitter for me right now and could rise if he gets back to his old ways.
- I know Jazz Chisholm Jr. is frustrating but whether you knew it or not, that was what you signed up for. He finished a rather disappointing first half as a top-60 hitter per the FanGraphs Player Rater, and he’s well on his way to a finishing with at over 20 home runs and nearly 40 steals.Now, if you’re in a points league, you’d drop Jazz by three tiers or so. It might be the most dramatic value difference for any player, as Jazz’s high strikeout rate, low batting average, and limited counting stats combined with points leagues generally not putting a ton of value in stolen bases create a perfect storm of value loss.
Tier 7
- Manny Machado looks so much better of late, with seven home runs and 32 combined runs and RBI over his last 21 games with excellent plate discipline and a .307/.416/.653 line. He’s getting quite lucky in the power department per Statcast, but the underlying numbers still suggest he’s been very strong.
- Welcome back, Jeremy Peña! He goes back to the leadoff spot and hitting in front of Yordan, so at the very least, runs should be a strength. Hopefully the extra week with the All-Star Break helps Pena feel even fresher.
- I have no idea why Xavier Edwards isn’t running more, as he’s getting on first base a ton, but they should start coming again eventually.
- Kazuma Okamoto is keeping the strikeout rate below 30% so far in July while slugging over .500, which is the best way for Okamoto to find long-term success.
- Still no long-term signs of power for Kyle Tucker, if you’re wondering.
- It’s good to see some power lately for Trea Turner. Not seeing a lot else, but that’s plenty for now.
Tier 8
- I always assumed that Ryan O’Hearn facing lefties would dilute his overall numbers, but that’s just not what has happened in 2026. He’s tied his career-high in RBI and is just one dinger short of his career-high in that category as well. The walk rate is down quite a bit, but with how well he’s hitting, that is just fine with me.
- Jake Bauers has taken over the job at first entirely over Vaughn and keeps hitting. What else can be said?
- Casey Schmitt has been unlucky of late and remains one of my favorite buy-low candida1tes for the second half.
- Ivan Herrera has been well-ranked here for a while due to the track record of his strong decision-making, contact, and power since the start of last year, but things have changed. This chart does a better job than words at explaining why he’s fallen so far. I’m very concerned, though his upside is higher than most catchers on your wire so I’m not sure there’s much action to be taken.
- Since May 8 (which covers his last 50 games), only two qualified hitters have a lower average exit velocity than Liam Hicks’s 83.8 mph, and none have a worse expected slugging (.273), not even Chandler Simpson. The plate discipline remains strong, as does the batting average, but Hicks has morphed back into the points league specialist of years past who mostly provides hits and whatever runs and RBI the Marlins around him in the lineup can muster. Hick’s move to the leadoff role should help him continue to put up runs scored, but expect the RBI to fall off considerably thanks to both the move in the order and the evaporation of his power.
Tier 9
- I’m sure there are those who scoff at this ranking of Jake McCarthy, but it’s hard to ignore how much he’s overperforming his expected metrics, especially with respect to power (there’s a 176 point gap between his actual slugging and expected slugging), and not even the power of Coors Field explains that kind of difference (for reference, as a team, the Rockies as a team have overperformed their xSLG by 35 points, and his 176 point gap is at roughly 40 points higher than the next widest gap on his own team).
- Jac Caglianone spent all season gradually lowering his ground ball rate only for it to dramatically shoot back up following that home run outburst to as high as it has ever been.
Tier 10
- Trent Grisham has looked solid in his return to the lineup for the Yankees and appears to have found nearly everyday playing time in the top-third of the order. Move him up a tier or two if you’re in an OBP or points league.
- This exciting version of Royce Lewis is a lot of fun, though the risk remains as high as ever in terms of both injury and slumps. Ditto Chase DeLauter.
- Brandon Nimmo has been one of the unluckiest hitters in baseball per expected stats, so a surge from him is more like regression to the mean than a change.
- Cal Raleigh’s strikeouts are spiking and catcher is deep, so it was time for a plunge.
Tier 11
At this point in the ranks, you can start considering players as streamers in standard-size 10-12-team leagues. That doesn’t mean they are bad; it just means we are at/near the replacement level, as several of these guys are likely on your wire.
- Dansby Swanson’s surge was amazing, don’t get me wrong, but everything under the hood suggests it was as out-of-nowhere as we thought and his batted ball metrics don’t indicate any major change outside of just being super hot. Keep riding the wave if there aren’t any good alternatives out there, but also keep looking in shallow leagues.
- On one hand, no one can deny that Esmerlyn Valdez has power, and that when he connects, that ball is going to go a long way at high speeds. We also can’t deny that connecting with the ball is a weakness, particularly in the zone, and has been a weakness throughout his pro career. Obviously, no one should have any interest in cutting Valdez, but you should be prepared for extended slumps (as we see with virtually every player with poor contact ability), and if you don’t want to weather that storm, then you should be aggressively trying to cash in via trade.
- Were the pre-Break home runs a sign of things to come? Who knows. Were they a reason to give Alex Bregman another series or two if you’ve held him this far? Yes.
- José Caballero is playing a lot and stealing bags, though the batted ball quality has been terrible and the strikeouts are piling up. In points leagues, I’d probably let him go, but if you need steals he’s doing enough to hold on to.
- I still believe in the possibility of a JJ Bleday resurgence, but it will require a return to mostly-average contact ability, and he’s far from it right now.
- Speaking of contact ability, it’s something Heriberto Hernández has struggled with as a pro. That said, the power is legit and he has an opportunity for extra playing time with Caissie on the IL. Stream away, folks.
Tier 12
- Kody Clemens has started chasing a ton, and when you combine that with his limited contact ability, you get a very scary combination. I want off this ride before it derails.
- Kyle Karros has hit the ball hard lately and gets two series at home against some questionable pitchers. Fire him up!
- Travis Bazzana has plenty of long-term upside, but the lack of power is being exacerbated by some struggles with making contact, leaving a player who isn’t quite on the verge to contributing at the moment. If the contact ability rebounds, he’ll need to be back on rosters.
- Trevor Larnach is leading off with solid discipline, so he might be worth a stream in OBP leagues, points leagues, or in situations where you need some runs scored. If he keeps that job when Buxton returns, it could be even more fruitful.
- Jung Hoo Lee’s streakiness is fairly unusual for a player of his mold, but he has a -2 wRC+ in his last 58 plate appearances and a .158/.172/.193 line. If you’re in a points league with a strikeout penalty, it might be wise to merely bench him, but in standard leagues that use categories, you can probably stream someone else.
UPDATE: I’ve separated the Taxi Squad and Injured List for my own organization. The Injured List will only focus on players who might actually get ranked on return.
Injured List
Listed by position in no particular order.
Catcher
- Will Smith (C, LAD) — Hopefully, some time on the IL helps him recover and find his old form.
First Base
- Spencer Horwitz (1B, PIT) — Hamstring strains can last a few weeks, but he should be back after the Break (if not sooner).
- Nick Kurtz (1B, ATH) —
Second Base
- Brendan Donovan (2B/3B/OF) — Close to a rehab. Might be back by August.
- Gleyber Torres (2B, DET) — Gleyber was raking at the top of the order (though good luck was playing a big role). He’s a fringe top-100 type when healthy.
- David Hamilton (2B/3B/SS, MIL) — Doesn’t need to be held in 12-teamers unless it’s a very deep roster and you’re desperate for steals.
- Blaze Alexander (2B/3B/SS/OF, BAL) — I’m holding in deep leagues if I can for the versatility but in a standard league he can be let go.
- Zack Gelof (2B/3B/OF, ATH) — At some point, the heat and luck with fade away and we’ll see the guy the underlying skills suggest is there (which isn’t good at all).
Third Base
- José Ramírez (3B, CLE) — Progressing well. As long as there are no set-backs, he’ll move back into Tier 2 immediately upon activation (which is still a ways away).
- Maikel Garcia (2B/3B/SS/OF, KCR) — Should be back by August.
- Matt Chapman (3B, SFG) — Still no progress. I wouldn’t be holding in any 12-teamers.
Shortstop
- Trevor Story (SS, BOS) — Surgery means he could be out for nearly three months. That’s a drop in most formats.
- Corey Seager (SS, TEX) — Feeling like this might be a lost season for Seager, especially when he sat against lefties in his brief return. In 10-team and shallower, the wire might be robust enough to just move on.
- Konnor Griffin (SS, PIT) — He should return by early September: the only question is whether you can wait that long. If you can, you really should (especially in keeper leagues).
Outfield/DH
- Aaron Judge (OF, NYY) — There’s still hope he’s back by the end of August
- Luis Robert Jr. (OF, NYM) — The move to the 60-Day IL doesn’t really change much here. He’s out for the foreseeable future.
- Giancarlo Stanton (OF, NYY) — If you only have two IL spots, he’s not a must-keep.
- Brent Rooker (OF, ATH) — Out for the season.
- Ronald Acuña Jr. (OF, ATL) — On a rehab.
- Oneil Cruz (OF, PIT) — Should be back by early August.
- Byron Buxton (OF, MIN) — Should be back by August.
- Julio Rodríguez (OF, SEA) — Not quite ready to be activated yet.
Taxi Squad
Players are listed by position in no particular order.
Catcher
- Tyler Stephenson (C, CIN) — Boring-but-safe streamer when he’s at home.
- J.T. Realmuto (C, PHI) — Not the hitter he once was, but plays often and doesn’t strike out a ton.
- Endy Rodríguez (C, PIT) — Hitting the ball hard and often lately. A solid streamer who has more upside than I initially thought.
- Alejandro Kirk (C, TOR) — Strong plate skills but no longer plays every day so he’s more of a safe streamer than locked-in regular.
- Francisco Alvarez (C, NYM) — Plenty of power but injuries and inconsistency continue to hold him back.
- Anthony Seigler (C/2B, BOS) — Leading off and rank-worthy for points leagues, but the lack of power is quite real. Would be the next catcher to be ranked.
- Carson Kelly (C, LAD) — Streaky part-timer.
- Jonah Heim (C, ATH) — Got extra time against a slew of lefties, but no need to keep holding.
- Dalton Rushing (C, LAD) — Too many streaming options to keep holding out hope in standard leagues.
- Henry Davis (C, PIT) — The Pirate offense being good is cool but I have no faith in Davis.
First Base
- Spencer Torkelson (1B, DET) —Just let me have this one. If he could make contact at even a below-average (as opposed to abysmal) clip, he’d be quite relevant.
- Coby Mayo (1B/3B, BAL) — Will get more playing time with Alexander out, but nothing more than a desperate power option in deep leagues.
- Andrew Vaughn (1B, MIL) — Barely playing at all.
- Kyle Manzardo (1B, CLE) — Streaky and prone to platooning.
- Nolan Schanuel (1B, LAA) — Points league streamer.
- Christian Encarnacion-Strand (1B/3B, BAL) — Smacked 17 home runs in 61 games for the Norfolk Tides, but the plate discipline suggests he’s still not ready to be a real contributor.
- Paul Goldschmidt (1B, NYY) — The strikeouts have spiked out of control and he’s sat against five of the last seven righties.
- Vinnie Pasquantino (1B, KCR) — Go ahead and scoop him if you’re looking for a lotto ticket, but he’s got to start hitting fly balls with more authority for me to get excited.
Second Base
- Cole Young (2B, SEA) — Love the low strikeout rate of late, but he’s hard to rank when hitting at the bottom of the order.
- Marcus Semien (2B, NYM) — He’s back and should only be considered in very deep leagues where you just need volume.
- Angel Martínez (2B/OF, CLE) — Not worth holding on your IL unless it’s unlimited.
- Matt McLain (2B/SS, CIN) — Hit the IL and wasn’t playing against all righties.
- Javier Sanoja (2B/3B/OF, MIA) — Points league streamer.
- Tyler Tolbert (2B/SS/OF, KCR) — He still lands on leaderboards because of those two monster games, but there’s nothing to see here.
- Jorge Polanco (2B/3B, NYM) — My hopes aren’t terribly high that he’ll find success but he’ll likely have a fantasy relevant stretch or two between now and the end of the season.
- Willi Castro (2B/3B/SS/OF, COL) — Sat against the last three lefties.
- Brett Baty (2B/3B, NYM) — The return of Semien clouds his playing time.
Third Base
- Nolan Arenado (3B, ARI) — The power isn’t there anymore, but he can still provide ratios and RBI at a slightly above-average clip.
- Austin Riley (3B, ATL) — The numbers under the hood are even worse than the surface numbers. It’s like when you see a rusted out car at the dump, and when you open it, a raccoon jumps out and claws your face.
- Jordan Lawlar (3B/OF, ARI) — This dude cannot catch a break.
- Noelvi Marte (3B/OF, CIN) — Short side of a platoon.
Shortstop
- Anthony Volpe (SS, NYY) — He’ll be a post-hype sleeper at some point, probably.
- Masyn Winn (SS, STL) — Had two fun weeks but has quieted down to a below-replacement option.
- Xander Bogaerts (SS, SDP) — Hitting third makes him semi-interesting if you’re desperate.
- Colt Emerson (3B/SS, SEA) — There’s long-term upside here, but I’m not waiting for it in 2026. He needs to figure out those holes in his swing and make more contact in the zone.
- J.P. Crawford (3B/SS, SEA) — If the Mariners find their groove on offense and Crawford is still leading off, then maybe he’d be valuable.
- Cooper Pratt (SS, MIL) — Points league streamer who lacks power but should put a lot of balls in play as line drives and grounders.
Outfield/DH
- Kerry Carpenter (OF, DET) — The premier streaky lefty platoon guy.
- Mike Yastrzemski (OF, ATL) — Streaky lefty platoon guy.
- Gavin Sheets (1B/OF, SDP) — Streaky lefty platoon guy.
- Luke Raley (OF, SEA) — Streaky lefty platoon guy.
- Mickey Moniak (OF, COL) — Sat against both lefties in his return, though he did pinch hit in both games. Streaky lefty platoon guy.
- Jesús Sánchez (OF, TOR) — Streaky lefty platoon guy.
- Tristan Peters (OF, CWS) — Lefty platoon guy who is overperforming considerably.
- Jorge Soler (OF, LAA) — Streaky power streamer.
- Steven Kwan (OF, CLE) — Batting ninth is a worst-case scenario for his value. How did everything go so terribly wrong?
- Justin Crawford (OF, PHI) — Lost interest until the walk rate is closer to 10%.
- Joc Pederson (DH, TEX) — Streaky lefty platoon guy.
- Joshua Baez (OF, STL) — The home runs are there, but nothing else.
- Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (OF, ARI) — I never know what to expect from him, and in a shallow league, I would just avoid the headache entirely.
- Jacob Young (OF, WAS) — Has shown signs here and there, but the wheels keep falling off soon after.
- Dylan Beavers (OF, BAL) — Might be worth a look in deeper OBP formats.
- Jarren Duran (OF, BOS) — He might finish with 20 homers and 20 steals but the ratios are going to be awful and the counting stats won’t help either. If the strikeouts come down and he hits in the top half of the order, he could get ranked again.
- Braden Montgomery (OF, CWS) — Not showing enough to justify holding over other outfield streamers.
- Colton Cowser (OF, BAL) — The strikeouts are back and so is the platoon.
- Lars Nootbaar (OF, STL) — No need to hold here as he has dropped in the lineup and is sitting against most lefties.
- Cam Smith (OF, HOU) — One of these days, he’ll stay on the list.
- Ryan Waldschmidt (OF, ARI) — They’ve recalled him after he slashed .286/.416/.524 following his demotion, but playing time and opportunity remain to be determined.
- Lane Thomas (OF, KCR) — I suspect a lot of his recent production is merely because the Royals have seen a lot of lefties, as Thomas continues to perform badly against right-handed pitching.
- Daulton Varsho (OF, TOR) — Varsho is notoriously streaky as well as injury-prone, so I’ve always viewed him as more of a disposable streamer in 12-teamers.
- Taylor Ward (OF, BAL) — In deeper formats or OBP, you can justify holding him if you don’t like the waiver options, but I just don’t see any signs that he’s going to go back to being the 2025 Ward, who I was a big fan of.
- Cedric Mullins (OF, TBR) — The steals have dried up and he doesn’t hit enough to justify holding through it.
- Victor Mesa Jr. (OF, TBR) — The plate discipline is solid and he’s shown high exit velocities in the minors this season, but he seems to get jammed a lot in the majors. If Mesa Jr. played more, he’d be a streamer candidate in OBP leagues.
