OOPSY projects a 119 wRC+ rest of season once the rookie is called up, and Anthony will run. He’s going to benefit from baseball’s second-best hitter’s park for lefties and eventually pay off for patient fantasy managers.

Noelvi Marte, 3B, Cincinnati Reds (16%)
Marte looked like a future fantasy star as a prospect and more than held his own (119 wRC+) over 123 plate appearances as a 21-year-old in the majors. He was then suspended 80 games for a PED violation just before the start of the 2024 season. Marte looked completely lost at the plate (46 wRC+, 3.7 BB%, 31.0K%) after returning and began 2025 in the minors. But the former top prospect performed well in Triple-A and has recorded a 166 wRC+ with a 9.4 BB% and a 12.5 K% since getting recalled. One of his homers came off a position player pitching, but Marte has already racked up four home runs/steals over just 29 at bats.
