Should You Add Royce Lewis?

Lewis is up 1.69% today so far and sits at 49.15% overall.

Lewis has been in a groove at the plate for a couple weeks now. He has five hits over his past three games, and has logged 14 hits over his past 11 games and 46 plate appearances.

He has a .318 average and .348 on-base percentage over that 11-game stretch. Lewis has four homers and a double among the hits, along with 10 RBIs, six runs scored, two walks and 11 strikeouts.

Lewis has a .237 average and .293 OBP over 88 games and 335 plate appearances this season. Both of those marks are poor, but as you just read, he's been much better of late. Lewis also has 16 doubles, 12 homers, 73 total hits, 44 RBIs, 33 runs scored, seven stolen bases, 25 walks and 61 strikeouts on the season.

The third baseman has been underwhelming as a fantasy asset for most of the season, but he's been usable over the past couple weeks. In other words, he's a streaming asset.

I like the idea of adding and utilizing him in all deeper leagues. He could remain a good asset in those leagues for the remainder of the season too.

I'm also game to try streaming Lewis in standard leagues until he cools off. Third base isn't the easiest spot to find production at, and he's probably outplaying a lot of other 3B options out there, or on your team.

Give him an add and utilize Lewis until his bat cools off.

Should You Add Brandon Marsh?

Marsh is rostered in just 7% of leagues right now. He was at 4% on September 6.

He missed Monday's game with an illness, which is a bummer with how hot he's been at the plate since the start of the month. With a lefty opposing the Phillies on Tuesday, his next start could come on Wednesday.

In five games and 22 plate appearances so far this month, Marsh has 10 hits, including three doubles and a homer. He has four RBIs, six runs scored, three walks and three strikeouts as well.

Marsh has a .282 average and .345 OBP over 118 games and 372 plate appearances this season. He has 93 total knocks, including 21 doubles, a triple and nine homers. Marsh has also recorded 34 RBIs, 50 runs scored, five stolen bases, 34 walks and 93 strikeouts.

While his fantasy ceiling is capped by not starting against left-handed pitchers, and by being at a stacked fantasy position, Marsh has delivered good enough numbers over the season to be rostered in more fantasy leagues.

It'd help if he was actually on the field now, but I'd give Marsh an add before he's expected to return to the field on Wednesday. He could be a sneaky good fantasy asset down the stretch.

Should You Add Joey Cantillo?

Cantillo is owned in 8% of leagues as he gets ready for a start on Tuesday.

He will make a start against the Royals, which is a pretty favorable matchup on paper. It will be Cantillo's fourth appearance against Kansas City this season.

Cantillo made his season debut against KC on March 30, allowing two unearned runs on three hits and a walk over one inning.

He worked two scoreless innings and struck out four against the Royals on April 13. Cantillo's last appearance against KC was a start, allowing three runs on three hits and four walks, while striking out four over four frames - he took the loss in that one.

Cantillo is coming off a stretch of three consecutive starts where he allowed just one run in each outing. He worked between five-six innings in those starts, allowing 13 hits and eight walks over 16 2/3 innings. He struck out 15 batters in that stretch.

While he hasn't had a ton of success against the Royals this season, it is a favorable matchup to maybe take advantage of. Cantillo is more on the rise because of what he's done of late.

I'm not all in on Cantillo, but he's an under-the-radar streaming option for Tuesday. I'm for streaming him in deeper leagues, but would look elsewhere in standard leagues.

He seems to have an average-or-so fantasy ceiling, and a bit lower fantasy floor, so that's not standard league worthy.

Should You Add Andrew Vaughn?

Vaughn is rostered in 40% of leagues. He was nearly at 80% on August 21, but has fallen steadily since, but has stabilized and is ever so slightly trending back up.

In his past five starts, Vaughn has 10 hits, including three doubles. Over 21 plate appearances, he also has an RBI and run scored, no walks and four strikeouts.

His overall numbers might not be great, but he's back on track with hitting the ball, which is a plus for him.

Something working against Vaughn is that Rhys Hoskins is expected to be activated off the injured list. Hoskins and Vaughn are both right-handed hitting first basemen, so there could be a logjam for playing time between the two - and that doesn't even mention Jake Bauers, a left-handed hitting first baseman on the roster.

I'm only a fan of adding Vaughn in adding deeper leagues anyways, but those things definitely make that a fact. It'll be interesting to see what the Brewers do to keep all three of those guys in the lineup somewhat regularly.

Should You Add Adrian Houser?

Houser is rostered in 42% of leagues as he gets ready for a Tuesday start.

He's not listed as the probable starter, but all signs point to him making a start against the White Sox, his most recent team. That means this will be Houser's first start against them in 2025.

Houser has a 3.01 earned run average over 101 2/3 innings pitched this season, so he's still enjoying a surprise season. He has made 17 appearances, and is 8-4. He's allowed 37 runs (34 earned) on 99 hits and 32 walks, while striking out 74 batters.

He's regressed since joining the Rays at the trade deadline. Houser has made six starts, going 2-2, but with a 4.91 ERA over 33 innings. He's allowed 18 runs on 37 hits and 10 walks, while striking out 27 batters.

Across those six starts, he's allowed four or more runs in four appearances. He's only reached six innings twice in that stretch, including his last time out. In seven innings in that one, Houser allowed four runs on four hits and a walk, while punching out eight.

The numbers have kind of been all over the place for Houser lately, and it makes him a weaker streaming option than he was earlier in the season. The matchup against the White Sox is definitely a good one to target though.

I think Houser is kind of flying under the radar of fantasy owners today. Sure, he hasn't pitched the best of late, but his first start against a weak-hitting team like Chicago is a good opportunity for him to deliver an average-or-better start.

I'm all for streaming Houser in a deeper league. I'm also up for streaming him in some standard leagues if you don't like your other options. I'd probably feel more confident in him than I would several other options for the day.
