Jeimer Candelario (DET): 2-4, 2 2B, RĬandelario’s ten HRs, 60 runs, and 47 RBI with a. For fantasy purposes, he is only viable in five-outfielder leagues or AL-only. southpaws with an additional start here and there. However, Hays is playing in a very crowded outfield that’s only allowing him to get ABs vs. Touch ’em all, Austin Hays! The 412-foot HR was his 14th and took the RBI count to 47 on the season. Maybe, just maybe, he hasn’t been scooped up in yours. I would highly suggest you double-check your waiver wire, as Naquin was added in 23% of leagues this last week. In fact, in his last 83 ABs, Naquin is batting. Naquin is doing everything necessary to soften the blow of the injury to Jesse Winker. Furthermore, his 88 RBI and 73 runs have made him a tremendous waiver wire pickup for some fantasy managers. 792 OPS, and even though he didn’t go yard, his 29 HRs are a career-high. Mitch Haniger (SEA): 2-4, 2 R, 2 BBĪfter sitting out all 2020 with injury, Mitch Haniger is back, baby! His four times reaching base help bolster a. While his draft-day price may be pricey, Smith has done everything to live up to it. All these aspects help fuel is 138 wRC+ and 4.2 fWAR, which is tops among all catchers. He plays every day, takes walks, doesn’t strike out, and often puts the ball over fences. The fresh prince of LA does everything you could want from a catcher. Although, what might be the most impressive part of last night is the walk since Perez only takes four balls on 3.6% of his ABs. Not only is he playing nearly every day behind the plate, but among all MLB hitters, Perez is tied for second in HRs and fourth in RBI. Perez’s season-long stats would be impressive at any position, let alone catcher. Salvador Perez (KC): 3-5, HR, R, 4 RBI, BB If the gains stick, keep an eye on Solak as a toolsy multi-eligible player to help you down the stretch. He’s accomplished this by swinging out of the zone 10% less than before the demotion. However, what really stands out is that Solak hasn’t struck out yet. He’s also done an excellent job showcasing his skillset by putting one over the fences and swiping a base. Since returning to the MLB squad, Solak has gone 8-for- 21 and hit safely in all five games. Let’s see how the other hitters did Friday Nick Solak (TEX): 2-3, R Therein lies precisely why the White Sox would be ecstatic to get Grandal back on the field. In lamens terms, that is the number of times a catcher induces an umpire to call strikes on pitches outside the zone. The veteran backstop is an excellent framer and routinely leads the MLB in balls called strikes. However, Grandal is not only a tremendous source of power. The Chicago White Sox are in no need of adding thump to their lineup. Due to his mammoth power, he must be rostered in all formats-regardless of his batting average being slightly over the Mendoza line. Additionally, last night was Grandal’s first game back since July 5th, and he’s still tied for eighth in HRs for all catchers. His season’s 15th and 16th HR helped put away the crosstown rivals as the White Sox threw a staggering 17 runs on the board(eight of which were driven off by Grandal). Grandal may have the lowest swing rate among batters with 100 PAs but decided to take his bat off the shoulder last night. Yasmani Grandal (CWS): 4-6, 2B, 2 HR, 2 R, 8 RBI
