Fantasy Baseball Shake-Up: Cade Horton’s Surprise Arrival and Evan Carter’s Triumphant Return Could Change Everything!
Miguel Vargas – 3B/OF, CWS: 5% rostered
(MINI HOT STREAK, POST HYPE PROSPECT)

Like Victor Scott II, Miguel Vargas appeared in my article last week on hitters to add based on their plate discipline and contact rates. Vargas is chasing at a super low rate, making 83% contact overall and rarely swinging and missing. He’s pulling the ball slightly less this season and has focused less on lifting the ball, which is a good change. He doesn’t smoke the ball, but a 90.3 mph average exit velocity is pretty good, and he’s playing every day in Chicago. He’s limited to deeper leagues right now, but I still think he’s worth an add there. Another multi-position option for deeper formats could be Santiago Espinal – 2B/3B/OF – CIN: 4% rostered, who has become the regular third baseman in Cincinnati with Noelvi Marte on the IL. Espinal is hitting .314/.375/.373 on the season with almost an identical walk and strikeout rate. He makes a lot of contact and rarely swings and misses, but he also doesn’t bring a ton of speed or power to the table. He would be an add for batting average and the hope of counting stats when the Reds are playing at home.
