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.

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.

Before only managing a single and two walks on Wednesday and simply a double and walk on Friday, all Schneider had done is gone yard in four of the previous five games. Averaging an RBI per game so far, he’s a hitting machine that needs to be owned in all formats.

A former first rounder and top prospect, Senzel still has nice power-speed potential, but has never hit for much of an average in the bigs. Even so, he could be worth a flier in NL-only leagues if he can carve out enough PT down the stretch. Post, post, post, post hype sleeper?

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.

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.

Keuchel is a former Cy Young winner, so don’t you dare ignore him, but we always worry about soft-tossing lefties when their control breaks down. Still, he looked great at Triple-A (IL Pitcher of the Month in July), so is worth considering — even if his results fell off a cliff after 2020.
