As the fantasy baseball playoffs approach, the spotlight shines on emerging talents like Matt Shaw of the Chicago Cubs, who's recently displayed a potent mix of power and speed. His performance since July 18, including multiple games with home runs and stolen bases, suggests he's a valuable addition for fantasy rosters. Likewise, Chicago White Sox's Colson Montgomery is making waves with a solid batting average and significant RBI production in his short time in the majors.

Chandler Simpson of the Tampa Bay Rays, a must-add for any team needing speed, continues to excel with an impressive 31 steals this season. His batting average and ability to contribute across multiple categories make him a fantasy gem. Meanwhile, the pitcher Joe Bole has been making headlines with a potential return to the Rays' rotation after a stint in the bullpen, showing promise with a notably low ERA and strikeout rate in his appearances. As teams finalize their rosters for the playoffs, these players should be on every fantasy manager's radar.
