Estrada is riding a modest four-game hit streak, during which he’s driven in four runs, to take his July BA up to a whopping .349. He’s now seen almost as much action as he did in all of 2020, but has hit much better this season, and his fielding at shortstop has improved. Estrada looks like a nice short-term addition in deep NL-only leagues.

Suarez has reduced his barrel percentage every season, and now finds himself earning saves for the Phillies. Obviously, his ERA is unsustainable, but that doesn’t mean he’s not worth picking up if you need bullpen help.

Well, after guiding the team to 91 wins in 2018, it’s been all downhill since, and despite a recent strong stretch by the Rox, they sit in fourth place in NL West, well back of the top three. Unless this team finally delivers some clutch hitting on the road and has a huge second half, Black’s tenure with the team may soon be coming to a close.

Well, the righty flamed out as a starter in the minors, shifting to the bullpen midway through 2017, where he found much more success. Now suddenly, the Marlins have turned Thompson back into a starter and all he’s done is put up a 1.50 ERA with 25 Ks (12.5 K/9) through four starts. His walk rate is up in the majors, but he’s yet to serve up a dinger so it hasn’t come back to bite him. Give Thompson a look if you need pitching help.

Duran is on a roll, having drilled six long balls over his last dozen games at Triple-A, so the time to add him is now. In addition to his power spike this year, he’s averaging nearly a run per game and hitting for a very fine BA (which is nothing new — he’s a .318 hitter over his minor league career). Throw in some major speed (46 steals in 2019) and you’ve got a potential future Fantasy stud here.

He signed with Boston as a free agent last offseason, and while things were shaky at the outset (485 OPS in April), he enjoyed a very productive May before coming back to usual career levels this month. No, Renfroe is not hitting with the same extra-base sock this season, but his K rate is at a career low, and that’s an approach that should help him get back to his 2018-19 levels. Grab him in all formats.
