JohnnyCueto has been healthy and effective for the San Francisco Giants.

The Wire Troll: Johnny Cueto Enjoying Comeback

On Friday, he was the hero with a two-run triple (his second hit of the game) being the difference in extra innings. This minor league veteran was taken in the 11th round by the Giants back in 2013 before being signed as a minor league free agent by the Mets in early January last year. It’s super early days, but the fact that Fargas has managed to cut his swinging strike rate from Triple-A is a promising sign, so while the Mets are battered, give him a look in deep NL-only formats.

Joey Lucchesi could prove useful for the New York Mets.

The Wire Troll: Joey Lucchesi May Get a Look in Mets Rotation

If you’re desperate at the always tough to fill catcher slot, Knapp has managed three hits and four walks over the last three games, but he’s shown almost no extra-base sock so far this season. For what it’s worth, he’s seeing fewer split-finger fastballs this year after having a bit of success against the pitch last year. As a temporary NL-only option, you could do worse than using Knapp until Realmuto returns.

The Wire Troll: DJ Stewart Gets Opportunity for Orioles

As discussed in our intro, Limet is hurt again, and Weathers made a strong claim to take advantage by limiting the powerful Dodgers to a single hit over 5 2/3 frames on Thursday. With shutout ball in back-to-back starts, Weathers is suddenly in the early stages of a fantastic rookie season. He had appeared out of the bullpen three times to begin the season, but if he can secure a rotation slot, he could very quickly become a must-own asset. Weathers is inducing plenty of ground balls early on, and that’s a promising trend.

Jay Bruce begins the season as the starting first baseman for the New York Yankees.

The Wire Troll: Jay Bruce Manning First in the Bronx

Well, we’re back to give him some more love for deeper NL-only leagues, but it’s important to note that he won’t be in action until Monday given the Nats’ Covid situation. Harrison is capable of delivering a solid BA, putting up some nice run and ribbie numbers and offering decent power and speed. His extra-base pop bounced back somewhat last season, so we’ll have to see if he can carry that into 2021 given the opportunity he has at the outset of the campaign.

Jarred Kelenic ranks No. 1 on the 2021 Top 100 Fantasy baseball prospects list.

2021 Top 100 Fantasy Baseball Prospects

An enviable talent to be heading the Rays’ system, Franco still hasn’t been tested above High-A ball thanks to there being no minor league season last year. However, this kid is an elite contact hitter with elite BA skills. There really isn’t a clear weakness in Franco’s game, although it would be nice to see his base stealing skills improve as he’s just 22-for-39 in his minor league career to date.
