Most Hits

Texas' Marcus Semien and Toronto's George Springer each had 12 hits over the timeframe we are using.

Semien had two doubles and a homer among the hits, along with eight runs scored, five RBIs, four walks, a stolen base and six strikeouts. This is the player fantasy owners have been hoping for over the past year-plus. Semien is up to 89% rostered and is trending up a bit again.

Springer had three homers and nine singles for his 12 knocks. He also had 15 RBIs, four walks, seven runs scored, two stolen bases and no punchouts. Springer saw his own percentage jump up to 83% after his hot week at the plate, and it'll keep growing if his hot hitting continues.

Chicago Cubs' Kyle Tucker, Miami's Otto Lopez, Tampa Bay's Josh Lowe, Miami's Agustin Ramirez, St. Louis' Masyn Winn and Colorado's Jordan Beck all had 11 knocks.

Tucker had two homers and doubles among his hits, along with six runs scored and RBIs, two walks and stolen bases and three strikeouts. Tucker has been one of the top fantasy hitters this season, so this is just a continuation of a great season.

Lopez had two doubles and homers among his 11 hits. He also tallied 13 RBIs, eight runs scored, four walks, a stolen base and three strikeouts. Lopez is way up to 65% rostered, after sitting near 14% on June 25, so he's clearly on the rise as a fantasy asset.

Lowe had two doubles and a homer among his knocks. He had four runs scored, two RBIs, a stolen base, no walks and three strikeouts as well. Lowe is up to 93% owned, and continues to trend upward.

Ramirez doubled four times and tripled and homered once among his 11 knocks. He had eight runs scored, six RBIs, two walks and nine strikeouts as well. Ramirez is rostered in 80% of leagues now, and continues to grow by the day.

Winn had three doubles and a homer among his hits. He had five RBIs and runs scored, a walk and four strikeouts as well. Winn is rostered in 57% of leagues right now, which is slightly up from where he's been over the past few weeks.

Beck doubled three times among his hits, along with posting four runs scored, two RBIs and walks and seven strikeouts. He's owned in 26% of leagues and is slightly trending back up after trending down for a bit.

Most Runs Scored

Baltimore's Ramon Laureano led the league with 11 runs scored over the timeframe we are using.

Laureano had 10 hits, including five doubles and a homer. He also had five RBIs, four walks, a stolen base and five strikeouts. Laureano has jumped up to 24% rostered, and probably deserves to be owned in way more leagues than that.

Texas' Corey Seager and Toronto's Ernie Clement scored nine runs each.

Seager had nine hits as well last week, including two doubles and three home runs. He also had seven RBIs and walks, a stolen base and six punchouts. After trending down a bit, Seager is back on the rise and currently is rostered in 97% of leagues.

Clement had eight hits, including a double, over the timeframe we are using. He scored six times, walked on eight occasions, stole a base and struck out just twice. Clement is back on the rise and is rostered in 52% of leagues now.

Most RBIs

Baltimore's Gary Sanchez tied Lopez for the second-most RBIs (13) over the timeframe we are using. Springer was first with his 15 RBIs.

Sanchez posted 10 hits, including two doubles and three home runs. He also had six runs scored, two walks and six strikeouts. Sanchez is taking advantage of some extra playing time, and is up to 28% owned in fantasy leagues. He's got a new finger injury he's dealing with, so that's something to keep an eye on if you are interested in adding him.

Texas' Adolis Garcia has 12 RBIs over the timeframe we are using, while Los Angeles Dodgers' Max Muncy had 10.

Garcia posted seven hits, including a double and a home run. He also had two runs scored, a stolen base, no walks and 12 strikeouts. Garcia is slightly trending down of late and is owned in 60% of leagues overall.

Muncy had eight knocks, including two homers and a double. He also had eight runs scored, three walks and five strikeouts. Muncy is steadily rising as a fantasy asset, and he's rostered in 93% of leagues overall now.
