With the fantasy baseball season intensifying, several players offer intriguing opportunities for owners looking to bolster their rosters. Notably, Ryan Enriquez of the Miami Marlins has emerged as a potential closer, boasting three saves in recent weeks despite a high WHIP. Meanwhile, Quinn Priester of the Milwaukee Brewers is pitching impressively, with a remarkable strikeout rate and low ERA, making him a viable add for teams needing pitching depth.

On the hitting side, Jurickson Profar has returned for the Atlanta Braves after a suspension and offers significant upside, displaying power upon his return. Ramon Laureano of the Baltimore Orioles has also been heating up, contributing well in terms of runs and RBIs. Meanwhile, Trevor Story’s recent surge at the plate could be beneficial for teams that need batting average help, especially with the potential for stolen bases.

The latest update from the fantasy baseball landscape highlights the devastating news surrounding Spencer Schwellenbach, who has been diagnosed with a fractured right elbow and is set to be sidelined for at least four weeks. While his return is hoped for in September, the uncertainty surrounding his injury and the Braves' playoff aspirations complicate his value in redraft leagues. In contrast, Jerksin Profar has made a triumphant return, hitting a home run and showcasing impressive metrics in his debut with the Braves, making him a must-add player. Meanwhile, pitchers like Jacob Mizerowski and Dylan Cease have exhibited fluctuating performances, raising questions about their consistency moving forward. The podcast also addresses waiver wire options, emphasizing emerging players that could bolster fantasy rosters.

Prospects in MLB are always a hot topic in fantasy baseball, and this episode highlights several players recently called up and their impact on rosters. Jacob Misarowski is the standout with an impressive performance since his arrival, showcasing both velocity and command, indicating he could be a future ace. However, expectations must be tempered as the league will inevitably adjust to him. Marcelo Mayer has struggled, and it may be time to drop him in non-keeper leagues due to underwhelming statistics. Kagleó Curts and Nick Curts provide contrasting narratives of promise and established performance, respectively. Finally, stashing prospects like Zebbie Matthews and Ivan Herrera could offer long-term benefits, while veterans like Yu Darvish and Dylan Cruz are set to return from injury, presenting intriguing options for fantasy managers.

The fantasy baseball landscape continues to shift dramatically as more prospects are being called up, with Chandler Simpson of the Tampa Bay Rays leading the charge. With a batting average of .285 and an impressive 19 stolen bases in just 123 at-bats, Simpson is quickly establishing himself as a valuable asset, particularly in roto leagues where speed is a premium.

In addition to Simpson, Quinn Matthews is back in the conversation following his recovery from injury, showing promise with a 3.19 ERA in the minors. His recent performances suggest he could be a viable option for the St. Louis Cardinals' rotation soon. Meanwhile, Jordan Lawler's struggles upon his return from the minors are concerning, despite his potential.

Other noteworthy mentions include Shaw Manaya, who has had a strong season but is still recovering from injury, and Jefferson Quero, Milwaukee's catching prospect who might see movement in the trade market, making him a name to watch closely.

Chase Burns, the second overall pick from last year's draft, is set to make his MLB debut for the Cincinnati Reds after dominating in the minors with a 1.77 ERA and a 0.77 WHIP. His impressive fastball and slider have garnered high praise, making him a must-add for fantasy managers. Meanwhile, Jacob Miserowski is quickly becoming a must-start as he showcases his talent with a no-hitter into the seventh inning during his second start. The podcast also highlights the injury woes plaguing catchers like Adley Rutschman and their potential replacements, emphasizing waiver wire strategies for managers facing tough decisions due to injuries.
