BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 40% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Rays have been hit hard by injuries this season, but there may be no team better equipped to deal with the injury bug than the analytical geniuses that run the Tampa organization. Case-in-point, Amed Rosario who was inked to a one-year deal this past offseason to provide depth thanks to his versatile glove. Well, now the 28-year-old is playing every day -- and hitting every day, as he's riding a 12-game hit streak.

Rosario has played 18 games this season and is batting .333 with a hefty .515 slugging percentage. Toss in a career-best 13.4% strikeout rate and 96th percentile sprint speed and you've got an on-base stalwart who can be a five-category contributor in fantasy.
Eventually, players like Brandon Lowe (thumb) will return from injury, but for right now, Rosario is a great hot-hand play who's defensive versatility will keep him in the lineup as long as he keeps hitting like he has been to start the season.
