Miguel Andujar, 3B, New York YankeesAfter a terrific spring training and an injury to
Brandon Drury, Andujar finds himself as the starting third baseman for the Yankees. He'll see plenty of at-bats, but it remains to be seen if he will stick around after Drury returns from the disabled list. He's owned in less than 25% of leagues.
Dickerson started the season 1-for-13, but has turned things around over the past five games, hitting .450/.476/.900 with 6 RBI. He's established himself as a regular in the Pittsburgh outfield, and owners should ride his hot streak.
Corey Knebel will be out for awhile, so the Brewers have a few options for the ninth inning, with Barnes taking the first shot at the job. He blew his first opportunity, but will likely see other shots.
Matt Albers and
Jeremy Jeffress will also be in the mix.
Josh Hader is a very good reliever, but the Brewers will likely keep him for multiple innings.
The 24-year-old infielder has shown signs of his top-prospect days to start the 2018 season, hitting .382/.400/.618 with 7 RBI over his first 8 games. If you need middle infield help, look to Swanson, as he's own in less than 25% of leagues.
