Angel Genao - Cleveland Guardians

Genao is up 2.31% and is now rostered in 3.69% of fantasy baseball leagues. He's getting added as the Guardians prepare to call him up.

He's the No. 39 prospect in all of baseball, so there's some big expectations with him. Genao is 22 years old, stands 5-foot-11, weighs 150 pounds and is a switch-hitter.

Genao has a career .291 average and .374 on-base percentage over 455 career minor league games. He has 507 total hits, including 106 doubles, 35 home runs and 15 triples, plus 233 RBIs, 291 runs scored, 226 walks, 70 stolen bases and 326 strikeouts.

The shortstop has a .300 average and .401 OBP across two minor league levels this year, so Cleveland decided it was time to call him up. They wouldn't call up a top-end prospect to not play him, so expect him in the lineup daily, which creates a window for some fantasy relevance.

He's addable in deeper redraft leagues immediately. If he performs early on, expect him to be scooped up in most deeper leagues quickly. He could also be a standard league pickup in short order, so be ready to make that move too.

Those who have been holding Genao in dynasty leagues should be happy that he's getting called up, as you can now utilize him. We'll see how the youngster fares.

Jung Hoo Lee - San Francisco Giants

Lee is up 2.46% today, which brings his overall mark to 69.59%.

He's heating up at the plate again, with seven hits over his past four appearances. Lee has two doubles and two homers among the hits in that span, plus three RBIs and runs scored and two stolen bases.

Lee has a .305 average and .340 OBP over 104 games and 421 plate appearances this season, so he's among the league leaders in average. He has 120 hits, including 26 doubles, eight homers and four triples. Lee has 43 RBIs, 55 runs scored, 17 walks, eight stolen bases and 43 strikeouts.

The outfielder doesn't hit for much pop, but a high average/OBP gives him fantasy value. Especially when he's hitting well, like he is now, Lee is worth utilizing in more fantasy leagues. I like him in all deeper leagues, and he can be tried in standard leagues until his bat cools off some.

Royce Lewis - Minnesota Twins

Lewis has been added in 3.69% of leagues - he's owned in 39.17% overall.

Lewis has a nine-game hitting streak going, and is coming off a four-hit night on Tuesday. He has 13 hits over his past nine games, and that includes three doubles, two homers and a triple. Lewis has seven RBIs, five runs scored, a stolen base and a walk in that stretch too.

In 79 games and 321 plate appearances overall, Lewis has a .232 average and .308 OBP. He has 15 doubles, 12 homers and a triple among his 66 total hits, plus 37 RBIs, 38 runs scored, 10 stolen bases, 31 walks and 80 strikeouts.

The usual third baseman has played enough at first base to be eligible there, and he could also be eligible at second - the more spots he's available at, the better a pickup he is. I would be adding him today in deeper leagues, while keeping an eye on him in standard leagues. If he keeps delivering, he could be worth adding in standard leagues.

Ezequiel Duran - Texas Rangers

Duran is rostered in 76.5% of leagues. He was at just 50.22% back on July 26, so it's been a steady climb for Duran.

Duran has eight hits over his past three games played. He has three doubles and a homer among the hits, plus six RBIs, a run scored and a stolen base.

He's hitting .278 and getting on base at a .329 clip over 105 contests and 399 plate appearances this season. Duran has 101 hits, including 22 doubles, 13 homers and three triples. He's also posted 63 RBIs, 51 runs scored, 27 walks, nine stolen bases and 92 strikeouts.

He plays all over the field, which makes him a better fantasy asset to add and utilize. I like Duran in all deeper leagues, and he's a standard league streaming option until his bat cools off a bit.
