Since Luebke moved into the rotation we’ve now seen two outstanding starts from him, culminating in Saturday’s performance (6 IP, 2 H, 7 K, W) against the Mariners. The 26-year-old southpaw was terrific working out of the pen prior to joining the rotation so his success in a starter role shouldn’t come as a total shock. The 2007 first rounder out of Ohio State has not missed a beat since joining the Padre organization and looks to be a very valuable component in a potentially great starting rotation heading into the second half.

Ackley, the second overall pick in the 2009 First-Year Player Draft, was recalled Friday and slugged his first homer Saturday against the Phillies. In 271 at-bats at Triple-A Tacoma, he slugged nine homers, drove in 35 runs, swiped seven bags, and hit for a .303 BA. What is even more impressive is that he drew 55 walks against 38 strikeouts. The kid can definitely hit so cough up some of that FAAB you’ve been saving and upgrade your middle-infield in all formats this weekend.

The Twins have recalled Revere to fill the gap and so far he’s gone 5-for-12 with three runs scored and a stolen base. Revere’s gig is likely a temporary situation, but it’s still one that could provide value in both AL-only and deeper mixed leagues.
