Dominic Martino and Matthew Wet dive into today's episode of Locked on Fantasy Baseball, highlighting players that fantasy managers should keep an eye on. Kumar Rocker, a Texas Rangers pitcher, has shown promise in his recent outings, while Nick Martinez of the Cincinnati Reds is another strong consideration after a stellar last performance. Jacob Lopez of the Oakland Athletics is also mentioned but comes with caution against tougher matchups. The hosts emphasize the value of three Miami Marlins players who are making waves in the league and could be pivotal additions for teams looking for an edge.

Byron Buxton's health has always been a concern, and with just 61 games played this season, questions loom about his durability moving forward. While his performance this year is impressive—with a .280 batting average, 17 home runs, and 13 stolen bases—his history of injuries makes him a prime candidate for a trade right now. Fantasy owners are advised to capitalize on his high trade value before potential injuries limit his contributions. Trading Buxton could yield multiple reliable players to fill gaps in a lineup, especially for teams looking to secure playoff positions.

Alec Bohm is another name on the trading block. Although he boasts a .290 batting average, his overall contribution to fantasy points is limited, making him a potential trade target for teams needing specific stats. Many owners might not realize how empty his batting average is; if you're not monitoring your roster closely, you may overlook it. Meanwhile, Clayton Kershaw remains a staple despite signs of decline in his velocity and performance; his name recognition might still draw offers. Owners should assess whether to trade him based on their pitching depth.

The latest insights from Fantasy Baseball Today focus on key player performances and trends impacting fantasy leagues. Jose Altuve is highlighted for his recent resurgence with back-to-back two-homer games, raising concerns about his ability to handle fastball velocities at 35. Max Meyer faces scrutiny after a stellar but questionable 14-strikeout game, casting doubt on his consistency. Meanwhile, Ranger Suarez has shown solid form with quality starts, while Cal Raleigh is establishing himself as a top catcher with impressive power numbers. The drop meter discussion for struggling hitters like Trevor Story and Bryson Stott indicates a mix of concern and potential in their ability to bounce back.

The fantasy baseball landscape continues to evolve as several players make headlines with their outstanding performances. Will Warren has been impressive for the New York Yankees, boasting a stellar 1.50 ERA over his last three starts, showing remarkable control with a WHIP under 1 and a high strikeout rate. On the other hand, Logan Henderson from the Milwaukee Brewers, performing excellently after his call-up, has also demonstrated good control and strikeout potential, making him a must-add for fantasy managers. His upcoming matchup against the struggling Pittsburgh Pirates looks favorable.

Meanwhile, Hayden Birdsong of the San Francisco Giants is back in the rotation and had a promising outing against the Kansas City Royals, with good strikeout numbers and a low WHIP. Jack Leiter of the Texas Rangers is also on the rise, showing signs of breaking out after a couple of rocky starts. Ryan Weathers, now with the Miami Marlins, is another intriguing option, having shown promise in a couple of starts. Each of these players could provide valuable contributions down the stretch of the season.
