Adam Wainwright will undergo Tommy John surgery and likely won’t be back on a major league mound until the first half of next season.
After three straight seasons with an ERA under 2 and a WHIP under 1, Mariano Rivera remains a top-tier closer.
Edwin Jackson has posted double digit K’s in 3 of his last 4 games, and he has put up great numbers in the last six weeks. He is a perfect pitcher to target if you are looking for a boost in strikeouts.
Despite a roller coaster season, Austin Jackson is hitting .305 on the year. He’s also a decent source of runs and stolen bases and he should be owned and active in deeper mixed leagues.
Manny Ramirez has only played in 66 games with the Dodgers this season, but a move to the AL and the hitter’s park in Chicago could make him a nice add for the remainder of the season.
Miguel Montero was one of our favorite catchers to start the year, but he missed two months due to injury. His recent resurgence has put him back on the fantasy radar he should be starting in all leagues.
Luke Scott has been on fire batting .385 with four home runs and ten RBIs in August. He’s raised his season average to .293 and is worth an add in most mixed fantasy leagues while he stays hot.
Alexei Ramirez batted .362 in July and was 18 for 36 with two homers, eight RBIs and 10 runs during a recent nine-game hit streak. Although his hit streak ended on Wednesday, he could be in for a huge August.
If Bobby Jenks continues to struggle as Chicago’s closer, Matt Thornton would be the likely candidate for some save opportunities. Thornton is worth a speculative add if you are looking for saves.
Brian Roberts is ready to end his 14-week stay on the DL and could return the Orioles lineup this weekend. While he may be a risky start for Week 17, he’s a great option at a thin position.
