Elehuris Montero is really starting to roll for the Colorado Rockies.

The Wire Troll: Elehuris Montero Mashing for Rox

In fact, things got so bad this season that he was relegated to the bullpen, even managing to bag his first career save a few weeks ago. But Manaea got another start on Tuesday and was quite good, coming within one out of a QS, and will get another crack on Sunday. Yes, it’s in Colorado, so is not the best streaming option, but the fact that he’s looked progressively better since the end of June and is back in the rotation makes him worth reconsidering.

Ceddanne Rafaela has really impressed since being recalled by the Boston Red Sox.

What we love the most is how his numbers got much better after being promoted from Double-A to Triple-A, scoring and driving in nearly a run per game at the higher level. Sure, Rafaela is likely to hit some speed bumps, but as a source of power and speed — one that could qualify at both outfield (where he offers elite glovework) and shortstop — he makes for an intriguing pickup.

Masyn Winn is the top prospect for the St. Louis Cardinals.

As we alluded to above, just a few weeks after being taken 11th overall in the draft Schanuel is being fast-tracked to the majors to provide a spark to the flailing Angels. The kid has proved he can rake (.370 BA) and is amazingly patient (.510 OBP) over 21 games in the minors, and he wasted no time showing he can get in done in the bigs (one hit, one walk and two runs in his debut on Friday). Give Schanuel a look in AL-only leagues, at the very least.

Zack Gelof has made an instant impact for the Oakland Athletics.

The Wire Troll: Zack Gelof Flashing Power and Speed

He’s looked better with each start, going undefeated through three outings while fanning 19 against just two walks over the last 12 2/3 frames covering the last two starts. Be aware that Ragans has a tough matchup this week against the Cubs, but southpaws tend to fare better against them, so don’t be afraid to keep him active. Either way, this hurler looks like he’s going to really contribute down the stretch, so grab him in all formats.
