Sale with another dominant outing as he lowered his ERA to 2.35. He is now 33rd all-time in strikeouts and looks to be a key piece for fantasy managers to win that title!
Perez is showing that upside he had in 2023, and boy, does he have a bright future ahead of him. He is a strikeout machine that goes deep into games and limits damage. He has top 5 arm potential and should be on the top of your radar for 2026.
Lile has been nothing short of impressive since August 1st, batting .350 / 4 HR / 17 RBI / 4 SB with a 23/11 K:BB ratio. A power and speed combo always pans out to be a fun profile so if you haven't already, pick this man up !
Baty smashes home run # 17 on the season. He has flown under the radar a bit as he is now approaching 20 HR on the year. Over his last 30 games, he is hitting .330/.394 behind a .915 OPS. An exciting development and another example that player development isn't always linear.
Merrill has been hot over his past 9 games, tallying 4 HR and 9 RBI, hitting .314. He has missed a majority of the 2025 season, but he will continue to be a big fantasy asset for years to come.
Horton dazzled with another strong performance, tallying 5 K in 5.0 IP. Over his last 11 starts, he is 8-1 and has allowed just 6 total runs during that stretch. He reminds me of Jake Arrieta and the ceiling is high for Horton.
I was watching some baseball and in the background of MLB Tonight, I overheard someone say, "The Next Willy Adames". I turned around and saw that Harold Reynolds was talking about Gabriel Arias. Although I don't know Arias' upside, he may be a player to keep an eye on in later rounds in next year's draft.
Torkelson hit home run # 29 on the year in this one. It's great to see him have a bounce-back season as he is a huge part of the Tigers future. He has been a bit streaky in the second half, but he will continue to be a reliable start to end the season thanks to his power upside.
Marsh has been hot at the dish over his last 10 games, hitting .351 with 3 HR, 11 RBI, and 10 runs scored. He is a fun hitter to watch when he is hot, and his home run was impressive, coming off a lefty for a go-ahead 3-run shot. Worth an add in crunch time!
Two-way Ohtani delivers a dominant performance through 5 IP. He also made a new club, being the first player to ever tally 50 HR and 50 K in one season. Ohtani is a Cy Young-caliber pitcher. Let's hope he gets stretched out so he gets that opportunity.
Colt Emerson hit a home run in his Triple-A debut! Emerson's big season has been extended, with Triple-A still moving toward playoffs, the Mariners aggressively promoted Emerson in a move that I love. Emerson was likely going to debut in Triple-A anyway next year, so what's the harm in giving him an early preview?
