As the MLB season reaches mid-June, performance trends are starting to crystallize. Aaron Judge’s astonishing .400 batting average and the Chicago Cubs boasting the best offense are standout narratives this season. However, several established players are underwhelming, raising concerns for both their teams and fantasy owners.

Luis Robert Jr. of the Chicago White Sox is struggling with a .185 batting average, severely impacting his trade value. Zac Gallen of the Arizona Diamondbacks is underperforming with a 5.14 ERA, jeopardizing his free-agent status next season. Willy Adames is having a tough time with the San Francisco Giants, hitting just .203, while Matt McLain’s return from injury has been disappointing at .184. Lastly, Sandy Alcántara, the former Cy Young winner, has seen a decline in performance despite a return from surgery.
