This article provides a weekly overview of recommended waiver wire pickups for fantasy baseball, highlighting players like Miguel Vargas, who is emerging as a power hitter, and Cole Young, who recently made his MLB debut. It discusses various players' recent performances, roles, and potential value in fantasy leagues, along with pitcher streamers under 40% rostered, to help managers optimize their lineups.
The Los Angeles Dodgers secured another win against the Angels, with Mookie Betts, J.D. Martinez, Freddie Freeman, and Will Smith hitting home runs. Struggling Dodger infielder Miguel Vargas may be sent down to the minors, while Noah Syndergaard is set to begin a rehab assignment after a rough start to his first season with the Dodgers. The team remains just half a game out of first place in the NL West.
Mookie Betts started in the infield for the Los Angeles Dodgers and hit two home runs, leading his team to an 11-4 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. The correlation between Betts' infield starts and his elevated production is becoming hard to ignore. Dodgers pitcher Tony Gonsolin also had a strong performance, giving up four runs in 6 2/3 innings. The Angels lost for the eighth time in nine games and dropped to .500 for the first time since June 3. Second baseman Miguel Vargas continues to struggle, raising the possibility of a demotion to triple-A.
The Los Angeles Dodgers' hot streak was snapped as they lost to the Rockies at Coors Field, with a five-run sixth inning sealing their fate. A contingency plan is in place for Clayton Kershaw, who left his last start early, with Justin Bruihl available as a backup option. J.D. Martinez celebrated hitting his 300th career home run, while manager Dave Roberts expressed confidence in struggling infielder Miguel Vargas.
The article reviews the performance of four rookie hitters in the MLB, including Brett Baty, Miguel Vargas, Zach Neto, and Esteury Ruiz. Baty has struggled to lift the ball but has a high xwOBA, Vargas has shown good plate discipline and is undervalued in fantasy leagues, Neto has made excellent contact but has below-average power, and Ruiz leads all of baseball with 19 steals but has shown little power and walks.
Clayton Kershaw delivers a vintage performance, allowing just one run on five hits while striking out eight and walking none in seven innings, to help the Dodgers beat the Brewers 8-1. The offense got going in the fourth inning, tagging Milwaukee starter Wade Miley for seven runs. Miguel Vargas continued his hot streak with a no-doubter two-run bomb in the sixth inning. The win marks the Dodgers' fourth straight series win and pushes their division lead to two games over the Diamondbacks.
Dodgers starting middle infielders Miguel Vargas and Miguel Rojas are out of Tuesday’s lineup due to thumb soreness and a mild groin strain, respectively. Chris Taylor will start at shortstop and Mookie Betts at second base against the Rockies. Vargas is technically available, but it wouldn’t be a surprise if the Dodgers stay away from using him against the Rockies. Rojas is expected to be back in the lineup on Friday.
