We won't cover anyone who appeared in Monday's story, and also avoid any starting pitcher streamers from Tuesday's article.

Should You Add Luke Keaschall?

Keaschall is rostered in 72.62% of fantasy leagues now. He was sitting at 31% on August 4, so it's been a quick climb up for Keaschall.

Keaschall went hitless on Monday, but has been red hot since getting back into the big leagues. He had 10 hits, including three doubles and two home runs, over his first five games and 22 plate appearances back. Keaschall also had 10 RBIs, two runs scored, no walks and a strikeout in that span.

He's played just 13 games and received 51 plate appearances overall this season, but he's been stellar while in the big leagues. Keaschall has 17 hits, including six doubles and two home runs. He also has 12 RBIs, six runs scored, five stolen bases and walks and four strikeouts.

Keaschall has played at second base or been the Twins' designated hitter this season. There is a need for second basemen for a lot of fantasy owners, so it makes sense to see Keaschall's own percentage rising quickly.

He's not going to remain this hot all season, but there's a chance he remains a good standard league daily option as well. So I'm a fan of adding and utilizing Keaschall in standard leagues, and think he should already be rostered in all deeper leagues.

He's even more valuable in dynasty/keeper leagues. The nearly 23-year-old is gaining value quickly, and could become a big-time all-around fantasy asset going into next season depending upon how well he finishes this season.

Should You Add Blaze Alexander?

Alexander sits at 6% rostered right now - he was barely owned in any leagues just three days ago.

Alexander has been in the big leagues since late June, but has really turned things on since August hit. Over 10 games and 42 plate appearances, he has 13 total hits, including three home runs and two doubles. Alexander has eight RBIs, six runs scored, five walks and 10 strikeouts.

He's on a four-games hitting streak, and has three-multi-hit efforts among those contests. Alexander has six RBIs, three runs scored, a double and two homers in that span, while walking twice and striking out just twice.

Alexander has played second and third base so far this season, and should have shortstop eligibility from last season as well. That defensive versatility gives a nice boost to his fantasy value, and makes him a solid deep-league asset.

Those are the leagues that I'd consider adding Alexander in now. He's likely to cool off and fall short of being rosterable in all deeper leagues, but while he's hot at the plate, he's worth an add in some deeper setups at least.

If he continues to hit somewhat regularly, then more and more deep-league owners should add him. Standard league owners should keep an eye on him too, but he'll need another week or more of success before we begin to mention him as a standard league pickup. A big reason why I'm not writing him off completely in those leagues is because he's eligible to play at several spots, and could be a blessing for your fantasy team if you are lacking at a couple of his eligible positions.

Should You Add Matt Shaw?

Shaw is back on the rise after recently being a drop candidate. He's at 48% now after sitting around 43% a couple days ago.

After going hitless over a three-game stretch earlier this month, Shaw is back on the rise with a four-game hitting streak. He has five hits, including a triple and three home runs, over this stretch. Shaw also has five RBIs and runs scored, a walk and four strikeouts in this short span.

He's been up and down in his rookie season. When Shaw is cold at the plate, he's dropped in all standard leagues and a good amount of deeper leagues too. When he's hot though, he's added back in all deeper leagues, and depending on how long he's hot for, can get added in quite a few standard leagues.

Right now he's hot at the plate, so he's on the rise again. This time his hot streak includes power, so that adds more value to his name.

Shaw is not only a good streaming option in deeper leagues now, but he's a standard league option again. He's likely only eligible at third base, otherwise he'd be rostered in more leagues already.

Give Shaw an add in deeper leagues, at least, for the time being. I honestly would do my best to hold him in those leagues for the rest of the season. When he cools off, just stash him on your bench for a bit, because his cold stretches never last too long.

He can be added in standard leagues now, especially if you've been using one roster spot to stream the hottest hitters with. If you are looking for a long-term asset, then it'd probably be best to look elsewhere.

Should You Add Emmet Sheehan?

Sheehan is a streaming option for Tuesday. He's currently owned in 41% of leagues and should rise some more before his start begins.

He will start against the Angels on Tuesday night. Sheehan hasn't faced them across seven appearances this season.

In those seven outings, Sheehan has made five starts and two long relief appearances. He's covered 30 innings, allowing 15 runs (10 earned) on 25 hits and 11 walks. Sheehan has struck out 31 batters.

In his last start, Sheehan worked five innings against the Cardinals and got his third win. He allowed two unearned runs on four hits and a walk, while striking out five batters.

He's really had just one bad outing this season, when he allowed five runs over three innings in a start against the Brewers. He's allowed two earned runs or fewer in every other appearance.

I think Sheehan is a sneaky good option tonight in what is a pretty favorable matchup. His fantasy ceiling is a little lower, but he's got a decent floor and at least has the chance of delivering an above-average score.

With him needing to not allow many runs or rack up some strikeouts to offset a lower inning total, I'd only feel really comfortable starting him in deeper leagues today. Only utilize him in standard leagues if you are lacking for other quality options.

Should You Add Logan Allen?

Allen is up to 26% owned as he prepares to make a start on Tuesday. That number should continue to grow before he actually takes the mound.

He'll make a start against the Marlins. Allen hasn't faced them this season.

Allen has made 22 appearances, going 7-9 with a 3.96 earned run average over 113 2/3 innings. He's allowed 55 runs (50 earned) on 112 hits and 44 walks, while striking out 87 batters.

He's allowed just four runs (three earned) over his past two starts, but gave up 12 hits and five walks in those outings. Allen struck out nine combined batters and worked 12 innings, so he's offset the amount of baserunners he's allowed.

The Marlins aren't the streaming target they were earlier in the season. They've been better over the past several weeks, so I'm not as quick now to jump on them with streaming pitchers.

Allen is just an average streaming option today, and I'd say he's just a deep-league option. There's too much inconsistency from start to start, and even in some better outings, he's still allowing a ton of baserunners.

Stream him in some deeper leagues, but he's by no means a must-start pitcher in those leagues, and I'd avoid him completely in standard setups.
