Bryson Stott - Philadelphia Phillies

Stott is rostered in 62.16% of fantasy baseball leagues as the day gets rolling. That's up from 53.85% on the last day of July.

He has a four-game hitting streak going right now, and has six knocks over that span. Stott has three doubles, two RBIs and runs scored, four walks, a stolen base and no strikeouts in that span.

Stott now owns a .260 average and .329 on-base percentage over 110 games and 425 plate appearances this season. He has 24 doubles, eight home runs and six triples among his 99 total hits, plus 52 RBIs, 48 runs scored, 20 stolen bases, 38 walks and 75 strikeouts.

He's primarily played second base this season, but is now getting starts at third base after the trade for Luis Arraez, so in time, Stott should earn 3B eligibility, and that will only increase his fantasy value. He's a good deep-league add already, and he's now sneaking into standard leagues, and could be a pretty good option the rest of the way, so consider adding him and holding him in all leagues.

Chase Meidroth - Chicago White Sox

Meidroth is owned in 36.49% of leagues - he was at 25% back on July 24.

Meidroth had a three-hit game on Thursday, with a couple home runs included. He had four RBIs, two walks and two runs scored as well. Miedroth has six hits, four walks and five runs scored over his past four games.

He has played in 111 contests, getting 466 plate appearances this season. Meidroth has a .275 average and .352 OBP, plus 44 RBIs, 67 runs scored, 46 walks, two stolen bases and 106 strikeouts. He also has 20 doubles, 11 homers and 112 total hits.

Meidroth should be eligible at second base and shortstop at least, which ups his value a bit. He strikes out a bit too much, but he's a solid fantasy hitter otherwise, and is worth owning in most deeper leagues. Only utilize him in standard leagues if you are lacking at 2B/SS, or Meidroth is red hot at the plate.

Nathaniel Lowe - Cleveland Guardians

Lowe is sitting at 4.95% rostered right now. He was at just 1.72% back on August 2.

Lowe was traded to the Guardians a few days ago, and he's posted two-hit games in his first two starts with the team. He has a homer and double among the hits, plus five RBIs, a run scored, a walk and three strikeouts.

He owns a .269 average and .343 OBP over 86 games and 289 plate appearances this year. Lowe has 70 total hits, including 18 doubles and 13 home runs. He has 42 RBIs, 27 runs scored, 29 walks and 73 strikeouts as well.

The first baseman/designated hitter isn't likely to be a big fantasy asset down the stretch, but in hot streaks, he could be worth some deep-league adds and utilization. It'd take a week-plus of hot hitting to get him into standard leagues, but he's at least worth tracking because he has some pop in his bat.

Ezequiel Tovar - Colorado Rockies

Tovar is owned in 16.67% of leagues at this time. He was at 15.09% on August 2, so he's slightly up of late.

Tovar has seven hits over his past three games played. He has a double and a homer among the hits, plus four runs scored and two RBIs.

He's struggled most of the season, and sits with a .207 average and .250 OBP over 106 contests and 389 plate appearances. Tovar has 74 hits, including 19 doubles and nine homers. He's got 37 RBIs, 39 runs scored, 21 walks, five stolen bases and 99 strikeouts.

The shortstop hasn't been a very good fantasy asset most of the season, but when he's hot at the dish, he can be tried in some deeper leagues, at least. Tovar could cool off quickly though, so keep close tabs on him and drop him when his bat slows.

Tim Tawa - Arizona Diamondbacks

Tawa is rostered in 9.01% of leagues right now. He was at 5.09% on August 4.

Tawa has a pair of three-hit games over his past four games played, and has eight hits since the start of this work week. He has two homers among the knocks, plus five RBIs and runs scored.

He's appeared in 59 games this season, getting 175 plate appearances. Tawa has a .232 average and .282 OBP, plus 26 RBIs, 20 runs scored, 12 walks, two stolen bases and 38 strikeouts. He has 36 total hits, including eight doubles and six homers.

Tawa is just a deep-league fantasy asset, but a more valuable one as he can slot into several different spots. Consider adding him in deeper leagues today and rolling with him until his bat cools off.

Mauricio Dubon - Atlanta Braves

Dubon is sitting at 68.02% right now, which is slightly up from the 67.13% mark he was at on August 4.

He has seven hits and a walk during this work week so far. Dubon has a double among the hits, three RBIs and runs scored and also three stolen bases.

Dubon owns a .269 average and .318 OBP for the season across 110 games and 448 plate appearances. He's got 22 doubles, 10 homers and two triples amongst his 111 total knocks, plus 58 RBIs, 53 runs scored, 28 walks, six stolen bases and 59 strikeouts.

He too is more valuable because he can play several positions. That makes Dubon a good deep-league fantasy asset, and one to keep trying in standard leagues until his playing time fades or bat cools off.
