As the 2018 season winds to a close, let's take a look at some of the late-round draft picks that have greatly exceeded their draft-day value this season: Michael Brantley, OF, CLE Brantley hadn't stayed healthy the past two seasons...

Mookie Betts, OF, BOS Betts stole his 30th base of the season on Wednesday to go along with his 32 HR's, and upped his MLB-leading BA to .346. He is in position to finish as the top player in fantasy...

Carlos Correa, SS, HOU There's no two ways about it at this point; Correa has been downright awful since returning from the DL in early August. In 29 games since his return, Correa has hit just .163 with 3 XBH's...

Adrian Beltre, 3B, TEX After a rough August, Beltre has heated up to start September, hitting 3 HR's in the first 5 games this month, giving him 10 dingers for the season. It's been a disappointing season for Beltre, whose...

Matt Chapman, 3B, OAK Chapman has been sizzling since the all-star break, hitting .342 with an OPS north of 1.100, including 11 HR's and 35 runs scored in a span of 37 games. He has benefited from a .398 BABIP...

Greg Bird, 1B, NYY Bird went 0-4 again on Wednesday, dropping his season BA to .202 and his August BA to a lowly .127 (9-71). His K% is high at 25.7% and he has suffered from a .234 BABIP which...

Miguel Andujar, 3B, NYY The power surge continues for Andujar, who hit his 19th HR of the season on Wednesday in a loss to the Rays. For most of the season, Andujar has been a high-contact, high-average hitter whose power...

Jaime Barria, SP, LAA Barria pitched 5.1 shutout innings against the Tigers on Wednesday, striking out 5 and walking 1. He has been solid for the Angels this season posting a 3.59 ERA and allowing more than 3 ER's in...

Trevor Bauer, SP, CLE Bauer allowed just 2 hits and two BB's while striking out 10 in 7 shutout IP against the Pirates on Wednesday, helping end Pittsburgh's 11 game winning streak. Bauer continues to prove that he is one...

Jose Abreu, 1B, CWS So is Jose Abreu just not good anymore? He certainly hasn't been this July as he is mired in an 8-54 slump (.148) with just 2 XBH in 16 games this month. In truth, his struggles...

Ozzie Albies, 2B, ATL Albies smashed a pair of HR's against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, giving him 20 homers for the season along with an NL-leading 73 runs scored. After a cold stretch through late May and early June,...

Sean Manaea, SP, OAK Manaea allowed 2 ER's on 4 hits in 7 IP against the Padres on Wednesday, lowering his ERA to 3.33 for the season, despite recording just 1 strikeout in the contest. He somehow keeps getting it...

Zach Eflin, SP, PHI Eflin finished off a fantastic June with perhaps his best start yet, going 7 shutout IP against the Yankees, allowing just 4 hits and 2 BB's while striking out 6. Eflin finishes the month a perfect...

Clay Buchholz, SP, ARI Buchholz posted another solid outing on Sunday, pitching 5 shutout innings against the Pirates before leaving the game with side discomfort. While the extent of the injury is not yet clear, this did mark the 6th...

Jeimer Candelario, 3B, DET Candelario broke out of a 3-26 slump, going 2-3 with a HR and 2 BB's on Wednesday, giving him 11 HR's for the season. This June has been a struggle for Candelario as he entered Wednesday's...

Sonny Gray, SP, NYY Gray pitched 8 shutout innings against the Blue Jays on Wednesday, giving him 5 quality starts in his last 7, and a 3.38 ERA during that stretch after a rough start to the season. Gray is...

Nick Markakis, OF, ATL Markakis has opened the 2018 season on pace for his best season yet, as he is hitting .332 with 7 HR's and 38 RBI through the season's first two months. He hasn't hit .300 or reached...

Byron Buxton, OF, MIN What should we make out of Byron Buxton? He finally seemed to have turned a corner in the 2nd half last season when he slashed .300/.347/.546 with 11 HR's, 40 runs, 35 RBI, and 13 SB's...

Dylan Bundy, SP, BAL Bundy broke out of his slump on Sunday, going 7 shutout innings, allowing just 2 hits, and striking out 7 in a 17-1 win over the Rays. This ends a nightmarish stretch in which Bundy posted...

Jose Altuve, 2B, HOU Altuve went 3-4 with 2 doubles and a run scored against the A's on Wednesday, while picking up his 2nd SB of the season. Yes, you read that right - it's May 9th and Altuve collected...

Mike Clevinger, SP, CLE Clevinger struck out 10 in 7 IP against the Yankees on Sunday, allowing 2 ER's on just 1 hit, while walking 4. Clevinger received a lot of hype in the offseason as a potential breakout candidate...

Luis Castillo, SP, CIN Castillo had what was likely his best start of the year on Wednesday, allowing 2 ER's in 6 IP while striking out 7 against the Brewers. After a breakout season in 2017, Castillo had compiled a...

Matt Davidson, DH, CWS Did you pick up Davidson after his 3-HR Opening Day performance? Let's hope not. Since then, he has gone 10-62 (.161) with 2 HR's and 29 K's (39.1% K%) in 17 games, including an 0-4, 4...

Patrick Corbin, SP, ARI Corbin's incredible rise just keeps getting better as he nearly through a no-hitter against the Giants on Tuesday night, lowering his ERA to 1.65 for the season. He has a sensational 37:5 K:BB in 27.1 IP...

Lance McCullers, SP, HOU McCullers started Wednesday's outing with 3 shutout innings, but things unraveled in the 4th when he allowed 8 ER's on 3 BB's and 5 hits. He still finished with 6 K's in 3.2 IP, but also...

Brian Dozier, 2B, MIN Dozier is one of the more underrated fantasy superstars in baseball, but also one of the most consistent. With another HR on Monday, Dozier already has 3 on the young season, to go along with 6...

Indians Notes: Kluber set for Opening Day Corey Kluber, SP, CLE In case you weren't sure, the reigning AL Cy-Young Award winner Kluber will start for the Indians on Opening Day this Thursday against the Mariners. Kluber has been an...

Indians Notes Bradley Zimmer, OF, CLE Zimmer has been sitting out with a groin injury, but he rejoined the Indians lineup for Thursday's game. He is expected to be the Tribe's starting CF this season, following a campaign in which...

Indians Notes Jason Kipnis, 2B, CLE After a 2017 to forget in which Kipnis was limited to just 90 games and hit .232, followed by an offseason of trade rumors, Kipnis has had a torrid spring, hitting 6 HR's through...

Indians Notes The Indians entered 2018 with six leading candidates for their rotation - Corey Kluber, Carlos Carrasco, Trevor Bauer, Danny Salazar, Josh Tomlin, and Mike Clevinger - and it looked like either Tomlin or Clevinger would be the odd...

Travis D'Arnaud, C, NYM Has anyone noticed that D'Arnaud has become good again? After an awful 2016 and a mostly uneventful 2017, he has heated up of late, hitting .326 (15-46) with 6 HR's and 17 RBI over his last...

Dylan Bundy, SP, BAL Bundy struggled against the Red Sox on Monday, allowing 6 ER's in 4.1 IP while striking out just 2. Despite the rough outing, it doesn't seem that the Orioles are going to shut down Bundy for...

Jose Reyes, SS, NYM Reyes went 1-4 with a 3B on Sunday, as he continues to enjoy his hottest stretch of the season; too bad the season has been long over for the Mets. Over his past 22 games, Reyes...
