Fantasy Baseball Shake-Up: Is Yu Darvish’s Return a Game-Changer and Colt Keith’s Rise No Fluke?
Tyler O’Neill – OF, BAL: 33% rostered
(RETURN FROM IL, POWER UPSIDE)

Tyler O’neill is back. The 30-year-old has played just 30 games this season and is hitting .176/.271/.314, but we know the power upside that he has when he’s healthy and in the lineup. The Orioles have hit him seventh most of the time since he’s come back, which will hurt his counting stats a bit, but he could easily move up in the order if he starts hitting. His return has also not impacted the playing time of Ramon Laureano – OF, BAL (11% rostered). It seems that the Orioles will have both players in the lineup regularly at RF/DH, and Laureano has actually played far more than O’Neill. The veteran hit .312 in June with four home runs, 19 runs scored, and 16 RBI in 21 games. He has cooled a bit in June, but he’s still hitting fourth or fifth in the order, and that gives him that counting stat upside that O’Neill won’t have right now.
