Howdy, ya’ll! It’s another week which means another fantasy baseball injury report to make or break your season. It’ll be over soon (you choose if that is menacing or hopeful). Here’s something that feels weird but familiar to say: Jacob deGrom is back and made his first starting appearance since April 2023. In his rehab […]

What is up party people? We still have a couple weeks left of fantasy action before the post season kicks real baseball into high gear. If you are still in the hunt for a championship, I salute you and hope you can bring it home. At this point in the season, you have a pretty good handle on your team. Jarren Duran has to be on the short list of 2024 breakout stars. He has delivered power and speed, tied for the league lead in doubles while batting almost .290. I can’t say for certain where he will go in drafts next season but I can guarantee you it will be quite a bit higher than he went this season (ADP varies by source but it’s safe to say he was drafted well outside the top 100). I’m also not sure where I will have him ranked next season but top 20 doesn’t feel out of the question.

What is up party people? September baseball is right around the corner which is make or break time for teams, both real and fantasy. Matt Wallner can help give you that final boost. His last month has been pretty dang good with 7 home runs while batting over .300. Those are pretty solid numbers, especially for a guy who is more than likely on your wire right now. The only real knocks on him so far are his strikeout rate (37%) and that he takes a seat against lefties. That obviously limits his ceiling but with so little time left in the season you really can’t complain too much. Best of luck to all on your championship push.

Been a downbeat week around the fantasy game. Nobody likes to see a star like Ronald Acuña Jr. lose another season to injury. Baseball is just a tick less interesting today. For our game, there’s not much one can do to replace an Acuña. In a 15-teamer where I’ve gotten off to a fast start and am in first place, I traded Kodai Senga, Landon Knack and Abimelec Ortiz for Brandon Nimmo. He’s not going to approximate Acuña, but he should fill an outfield spot and help me hold down the Runs category. He’s batting third this season and is on pace for his best RBI season by a long ways, even as his batting average has tumbled. He’s painting the statcast bars red, and his career outcomes suggest he’s got upside in the batting average category. Now I just need to replace a few dozen stolen bases. No big deal, right?

What is up party people? Sigh, another week, another promising young outfielder hits the IL. Jung Hoo Lee wasn’t lighting the world on fire just yet but there were signs he was about to take flight. Then he dislocated his shoulder in a collision with the wall and his timeline to return is uncertain, with the worst case timeline being the rest of the season. We should have some clarity in the coming days, but I’m fearful it will be a lengthy stay on the IL. So far he has been replaced in center field by Luis Matos who was a top prospect just a short time ago. He has big time potential but struggled in the majors last season which is why he’s been in AAA. Now that injuries to the rest of the Giants hitters have given him a chance to play everyday, it’s up to him to put it all together and show off his talent. His numbers in AAA haven’t been great but he has hit the ground running since his call up and that makes him worth taking a shot on. Now lets look at some other potential replacement options, starting with some guys from last week and then we’ll see who’s hot.
