Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Shocker: Nick Kurtz’s Return and Kyle Teel’s Debut Could Change Everything!
Carlos Santana – 1B, CLE: 19% rostered
(BATTING AVERAGE, RBI UPSIDE)

Every year, Carlos Santana has strong stretches where his batting average spikes and he drives in a bunch of runs in the middle of the batting order. We are in one of those stretches right now. Over the last month, he has gone 22-for-76 (.289) with three home runs and 13 RBIs. The batting average will likely regress in the coming weeks, and this isn’t a pick-up necessarily to hold for the remainder of the season, outside of deeper formats, but Santana is a solid veteran hitter who can be helpful for you when he’s riding hot streaks like this. Similarly, veteran Josh Bell – 1B, WAS (6% rostered), has been getting a little hot of late, going 11-for-37 (.297) over his last 11 games with three home runs and seven RBI. It’s getting warmer in the Northeast, and the ball is starting to fly a little bit. If Bell continues to produce decent numbers, could he wind up traded to a team like Boston, that might need a corner infield bat?
