Peralta has only started three games this season, but he has looked outstanding in those games. He currently boasts a 2-0 record with a 2.30 ERA and a 0.89 ERA. He has displayed tremendous strikeout potential, recording 25 strikeouts through 15.2 innings. He gets a great matchup against the Kansas City Royals, and Peralta is a -208 favorite in a game set at 8 runs. He's a great salary relief option tonight.

Eric Thames - C/1B, vs KC ($3,900)
Thames has been a more consistent and a more powerful hitter at home this season. He has also been a significantly better option against right-handed pitching, possessing 0.185 wOBA and 0.266 ISO differentials against righties. He gets a solid matchup against Jake Junis tonight, and Thames makes a high upside tournament option.
Jason Kipnis - 2B, at STL ($3,100)

Hernandez is an option that can safely be used in all leagues for his current price tag.

Schebler has cooled down recently, but he continues to be a consistent option with tremendous upside on a nearly nightly basis. He owns a .357 average with a .643 slugging percentage and a 1.000 OPS through four games against Atlanta this season. Schebler will be playing in a stadium designed for left-handed batters, and he can be considered in all leagues tonight.
