Jakob Marsee’s August call-up with the Marlins has fantasy managers buzzing as he slashes .353/.450/.706 with 3 homers, 13 RBI and 6 steals through a small sample. Max Scherzer, at 41, has re-emerged in Toronto with four straight quality starts, pairing a solid 3.83 ERA and high strikeout rate behind a heavy slider usage. Kyle Tucker’s second-half lull with the Cubs—low BABIP, soft power metrics, and steady walk rates—keeps him on a fine line between sell-high and hold. Seth Lugo, meanwhile, has stumbled in the second half for Kansas City with increased walks and HR trouble, forcing a wait-and-see approach. The Sabermetrics and Statcast write-ups reinforce why small sample signals can mislead but also why steady underlying metrics still matter for late-season rosters.
