As we enter a new week of the fantasy baseball season, a number of players have emerged as elite producers at the plate or intriguing arms on the mound. At this point of the year, managers will likely know which areas of the game they are strong and which areas they can improve upon.
One of the ways that fantasy baseball managers can improve their team is by scouring the free agent pool to find red-hot players who are under-owned in their league. Sometimes these players can be useful for just a week, however, sometimes these players can be long-term solutions. Here's a closer look at some intriguing players in fantasy baseball leagues.
A closer look at 3 must-add players in fantasy baseball leagues right now
#1 - Jose Miranda
Trending
Arguably the hottest hitter in the MLB right now is Jose Miranda of the Minnesota Twins. The 26-year-old has been unstoppable at the plate, tying an MLB record for completing 12 consecutive at-bats with a base hit. With Royce Lewis on the IL, Miranda will continue to see regular at-bats for the foreseeable future, making him a must-add in fantasy leagues.
"Jose Miranda joins Johnny Kling (1902), Pinky Higgins (1938) and Walt Dropo (1952) as the only @MLB players to record a hit in 12 straight at-bats" - @morsecode
#2 - Brenton Doyle
Brenton Doyle might be one of the most underrated players in the MLB right now. The Colorado Rockies outfielder has been tremendous lately, improving his overall numbers across the board. Doyle has been excellent in July, going 11-for-21 (.524), 4 HR, and 9 RBI with a 1.886 OPS en route to winning the NL Player of the Week Award. He is currently owned in only 28.9% of ESPN leagues.
#3 - Taj Bradley
Taj Bradley has emerged as arguably the best starting pitcher for the Tampa Bay Rays. The 23-year-old has been rolling on the mound lately and should be picked up in nearly every fantasy baseball league. Over his last 5 games, Bradley has racked up a whopping 38 strikeouts while allowing only 4 earned runs over 30.0 innings of work. He can be a league-winning add for managers.
"#FantasyBaseball. Taj Bradley over his last 6 starts: 35 IP, 1.28 ERA, 45:13 K:BB. If he keeps making adjustments and improving…we are looking at a future ace!" - @Andrew_FBB
