Mike Conley Continuing Career With Boston
Guard Mike Conley has agreed to a one-year contract with the Boston Celtics, according to ESPN's Shams Charania, that will allow the veteran to play his 20th NBA season. At this point in his career, however, the 38-year-old isn't much more than an end-of-bench mentor. His three-point shooting percentage dropped from a career average of 38.7% to 33.7% in 54 games last season. The Celtics also roster Derrick White and Payton Pritchard to man the point guard rotation, so Conley is unlikely to match the career-low 18.4 minutes per game he got in Minnesota last season.

Michael Brennan Brings Elite Driving to John Deere Classic
Michael Brennan's first full year on Tour has been up and down, as he has made 11 of 17 cuts while recording three finishes inside the top 30. He now turns to the John Deere Classic, where he will be making his tournament debut. TPC Deere Run typically rewards precise short-iron play, driving accuracy, and players who can make plenty of birdies. Brennan ranks 101st on approach (-0.049 strokes per round), 59th in driving accuracy, and 44th in birdie-or-better percentage. Where he stands out is off the tee, where he ranks second on Tour (+0.803 strokes per round) and third in driving distance. If he can continue to gain significant strokes off the tee, he will just need the rest of his game to come along to contend here. At $8,500 on DraftKings, he offers strong upside for DFS lineups.

Aneyas Williams has Big Shoes to Fill at Notre Dame
Notre Dame running back Aneyas Williams is slated for a significant workload following the departure of Jeremiyah Love and Jadarian Price. Notre Dame's No. 1 and No. 2 running backs were selected in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, leaving an important hole to fill in the Irish offense. Williams, who has flashed in limited action, is a prime breakout candidate at the RB spot this season. The 20-year-old rising junior has tallied 58 rushing attempts for 443 yards and caught 20 passes for 212 yards across 27 career games. He also added seven total touchdowns. The sample size is small, but he's made a solid impact when called upon behind two stud ball carriers. While sophomore Kedren Young and freshman Javion Osborne will likely play a part in the backfield, Williams is in the driver's seat to handle the most touches for the National Championship hopefuls.

Sungjae Im Remains a Volatile Play at TPC Deere Run
Sungjae Im has been in steady form lately, making 10 of his last 12 cuts, including three top-10 finishes. He now turns to the John Deere Classic, where he has recorded a T12 and a missed cut in his two most recent appearances. TPC Deere Run typically rewards accurate short-iron play, driving accuracy, and players who can make plenty of birdies. Im ranks just 144th in strokes gained on approach (-0.633 per round), 65th in driving accuracy, and 96th in birdie-or-better percentage. Where he has excelled is with his short game, ranking 14th around the green (+0.346) and 32nd in putting (+0.336). That should help him this week, but he'll likely need to find more with his irons to contend in what is typically a low-scoring event. At $8,400 on DraftKings, Im offers plenty of upside, but he remains one of the most volatile players on Tour.

Jake Bennett a Priority Waiver-Wire Addition With Opportunity to Stick in Rotation
Boston Red Sox rookie left-hander Jake Bennett, who is ranked as the team's No. 6 prospect at MLB Pipeline, has pitched well in his first six major-league starts and should have a long leash in Boston's starting rotation going into the second half of the 2026 season, with both Garrett Crochet (shoulder) and Connelly Early (elbow) on the injured list. In his first 33 innings pitched in the majors, Bennett has posted a 3.27 ERA (3.11 FIP) and 1.06 WHIP with 25 strikeouts and seven walks for a 2-3 record. The 25-year-old could end up being a steal after Boston acquired him in a trade with the Washington Nationals over the offseason. The former second-rounder in 2022 out of the University of Oklahoma has been much sharper in his last three starts, giving up just three earned runs with two walks and 17 strikeouts in 17 2/3 innings pitched after he allowed nine earned runs with five walks and eight strikeouts in 15 1/3 innings in his first three big-league starts. With great command of his pitches and an opportunity to stick in Boston's rotation the rest of the year, Bennett is a priority waiver-wire pickup for fantasy managers in need of rotation help. Bennett is currently rostered in under 20% of Yahoo leagues.

Lakers Acquire Walker Kessler in Sign-And-Trade With Utah
The Los Angeles Lakers have sent multiple draft picks to the Utah Jazz in a sign-and-trade deal for center Walker Kessler, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The Lakers are subsequently giving the 24-year-old a four-year, $130 million contract with a fourth-season player option. Los Angeles was linked to multiple centers this offseason as they searched for a rim-runner to pair with Luka Doncic. Kessler's 2025-26 season was cut short after just five games, but he continued his run of averaging a double-double that dated back to the 2024-25 season. During that campaign, he led the league with 4.6 offensive rebounds per game. Kessler has also averaged 2.4 blocks per game across his four seasons. In return, the Jazz are receiving unprotected first-round picks in 2031 and 2033 and first-round swaps in 2028 and 2030.

Davis Riley Needs Turnaround at TPC Deere Run
Davis Riley has struggled for most of the season, missing the cut in nine of 16 events while recording just two top-40 finishes. He now turns to the John Deere Classic, where he missed the cut in his lone appearance in 2024. There is not much going right for Riley at the moment, as he ranks 149th in total strokes gained (-1.368 per round), 154th off the tee (-1.045), and 144th on approach (-0.577). One bright spot has been his putting, where he ranks 23rd on Tour (+0.395), and he also sits sixth in proximity from 100-125 yards (16'10"), an important distance this week at TPC Deere Run. Still, there simply is not enough going well in Riley's game right now to justify rostering him in DFS, even at just $6,200 on DraftKings.

Jacob Webb a Short-Term Source of Saves in Chicago
With Chicago Cubs closer Daniel Palencia (elbow) on the injured list for the foreseeable future, right-handed reliever Jacob Webb has emerged as a candidate for saves in Chicago's bullpen alongside the likes of Caleb Thielbar, Trent Thornton, Ryan Rolison, and Jordan Wicks. The 32-year-old veteran has blown two of his save chances in June, but since his last blown save on June 20 against the Toronto Blue Jays, he has thrown four scoreless innings with one hit allowed, four walks, six strikeouts, and two wins. Overall, the former 18th-round selection by the Atlanta Braves in the 2014 MLB draft out of Tabor College has gone 3-2 with a 3.47 ERA (3.93 FIP), 1.35 WHIP, two saves, 45 strikeouts, and 14 walks in 36 1/3 innings pitched out of the bullpen in his seventh year in the big leagues. Sporting a career-best 28.5% strikeout rate this year, Webb, along with Thielbar, should be considered a favorite for saves with the Cubs as long as Palencia remains sidelined. Fantasy managers desperate for saves should consider Webb off the waiver wire, and he's rostered in only 3% of Yahoo leagues.

Mitchell Robinson Shipping Up to Boston
Free-agent center Mitchell Robinson is leaving the New York Knicks for the division-rival Boston Celtics, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The deal is reportedly for three years and 47.4 million dollars, with a player option in his third season. A rebounding and shot-blocking savant, Robinson averaged 8.8 boards and 1.2 blocks in just 19.6 minutes per game, playing an important role for the NBA champions. He should be in line for more playing time with his new team, competing with Neemias Queta for a starting spot in the Celtics' lineup next season.

Mackenzie Hughes Relying on Short Game at TPC Deere Run
Mackenzie Hughes has had a quiet season, recording just two top-25 finishes while making eight of 14 cuts. He now turns to the John Deere Classic, where he has recorded a T16 and a missed cut in two previous appearances. TPC Deere Run typically rewards accurate short-iron play, driving accuracy, and players who can make plenty of birdies. Hughes ranks 122nd in strokes gained on approach (-0.244 per round), 136th in driving accuracy, and 142nd in birdie-or-better percentage. Despite those struggles, his short game has remained a strength, ranking 12th around the green and 45th in putting. Hughes will likely need to lean on that short game once again, but he may struggle to keep up with the birdies needed to contend here this week.

Dylan Crews Ready for Post-Hype Prospect Breakout?
Washington Nationals outfielder Dylan Crews came with tons of expectations after the Nats selected him second overall (behind college teammate Paul Skenes) in the 2023 MLB draft out of Louisiana State University, and so far in his first 153 games in the big leagues, he's been a bust. In 604 plate appearances with Washington since debuting in 2024, Crews has slashed just .215/.278/.356 with a .634 OPS, 18 home runs, 52 RBI, 33 stolen bases, and 75 runs scored. In 37 games so far in 2026, the 24-year-old has a weak .225/.267/.366 slash line with a .633 OPS, five homers, 17 RBI, four steals, a 20.7% strikeout rate, and a 2.7% walk rate. However, Crews showed some signs of life to close out the month of June, going 14-for-45 (.311) at the plate with a homer, three doubles, three RBI, nine runs scored, and two stolen bases in 11 games across 48 plate appearances. He's going to need to improve his plate discipline to sustain the hot streak, but fantasy managers looking for upside in the outfield should look Crews' way. He's rostered in only 35% of Yahoo leagues and is widely available.

Moritz Wagner Moving From Orlando to Brooklyn
Free-agent center Moritz Wagner is signing a two-year, $19 million contract with the Brooklyn Nets, according to Shams Charania. The ESPN insider also noted the contract contains a mutual opt-in option following the first season. The 29-year-old had a statistical down season in his final year with the Orlando Magic. An ACL tear in December of 2024 kept the Germany native from suiting up until mid-January this year. Ultimately, he averaged 6.9 points and 3.2 rebounds on 42.6% shooting in 11.9 minutes per game. Wagner could be in line for more consistent playing time in the upcoming season, with Day'Ron Sharpe as the only other true center currently on Brooklyn's roster.

Mike Norvell Faces Toughest ACC Schedule in Critical Season
Florida State head coach Mike Norvell enters the 2026 season firmly on the hot seat after posting a 7-17 record over the last few seasons. Unfortunately for him, Andy Staples of On3 ranked FSU's schedule as the toughest in the ACC. After what should be an easy win in Week 1 against New Mexico State, the Noles host ACC contender SMU before a road trip to Alabama. They get a brief reprieve before a three-game stand against Virginia, Louisville, and Miami, who combined to go 33-10 last season and are among the top teams in the conference. Clemson, Pittsburgh, NC State, and Florida won't be pushovers, either. Norvell needs an impressive year to keep his job in Tallahassee, but the odds are against him given the cards he draws in his eighth season at the helm of the program.

Shane Drohan an Emerging Waiver Target in Transition to Starting Role?
The Milwaukee Brewers moved left-hander Shane Drohan from the bullpen to their starting rotation at the beginning of June after he posted a 2.63 ERA (2.41 FIP) with 28 strikeouts and eight walks in 27 1/3 innings (one start) to begin the 2026 season. Since moving to the rotation on June 1, Drohan has allowed 10 earned runs (3.65 ERA) on 25 hits (three homers) while walking nine and striking out 24 in five starts across 24 2/3 innings pitched. The 27-year-old former fifth-rounder by the Boston Red Sox in 2020 out of Florida State University has recorded one quality start over that span. He hasn't provided much length, which is understandable as he transitions from a reliever to a starter, but he's also allowed three or fewer earned runs in four of his five starts for the Brew Crew. Drohan went 4 1/3 scoreless innings with three walks and five punchouts in 4 1/3 innings on June 24 against the division-rival Cincinnati Reds, and he's scheduled to face them again at home on Wednesday. Against a Reds team that has the fourth-most strikeouts in baseball, Drohan is an interesting deep-league streamer and waiver-wire consideration.

Nikola Vucevic Returns Home to Orlando
Center Nikola Vucevic is signing a one-year, $3.9 million contract for a second stint with the Orlando Magic, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The 35-year-old spent nearly nine seasons with the Magic toward the beginning of his career, blossoming into an All-Star. His production has nearly bottomed out since then, though. A midseason acquisition by the Celtics, Vucevic averaged 9.7 points and 6.6 rebounds in 21.1 minutes. Those were all his lowest per-game numbers since his rookie season. Vucevic replaces the outgoing Moritz Wagner on the Magic depth chart, but will be competing with Goga Bitadze for backup center minutes behind Wendell Carter Jr.

Max Greyserman Remains Boom-or-Bust at John Deere Classic
Max Greyserman has not been at his best this season, making nine of 17 cuts while recording four top-25 finishes. He now turns to the John Deere Classic, where he finished T26 in his lone appearance at TPC Deere Run last year. Statistically, he has been close to average across the board, ranking 98th in total strokes gained (-0.078 per round), 99th on approach (-0.048), 80th around the green (+0.019), and 74th in putting (+0.034). Greyserman has shown some encouraging signs lately, gaining strokes off the tee in five of his last six events and ranking 30th in driving distance. He has also made five of his last seven cuts, but at $7,900 on DraftKings, he remains a boom-or-bust option.

Arch Manning Named Preseason Walter Camp All-American
Texas quarterback Arch Manning was selected as a first-team All-American by Walter Camp, the oldest college football All-American selection publication. The rising junior entered last season with sky-high expectations, but he showed signs of being a first-year starter in the early part of the 2025 campaign. However, Manning performed at a high level in the second half of the year, leading the Longhorns to seven wins over their final eight games. In his final six games, Manning tallied 19 touchdowns and threw just two interceptions. Three of those contests were against top-10 opponents. With Auburn transfer Cam Coleman in the wide receiver room alongside Trey Wingo, Manning has one of the best wide receiver duos in the country at his disposal. The additions of transfer running back Raleek Brown (Arizona State) and Hollywood Smothers (NC State) should help open up the offense, too.

Mason Montgomery Worth a Look in Evolving Pirates Bullpen?
Pittsburgh Pirates left-handed reliever Mason Montgomery and right-hander Dennis Santana have risen up the closer depth chart in Pittsburgh with lefty Gregory Soto struggling of late. Montgomery was afforded a couple of save opportunities in June, but the problem is he blew both of his save chances and struggled to a 6.52 ERA (3.00 FIP) with seven earned runs allowed on 11 hits (one homer) while walking six and striking out 16 in 9 2/3 innings with a 1-2 record, two blown saves, and a hold. Overall in 2026, the 26-year-old former sixth-round pick by the Tampa Bay Rays in 2021 out of Texas Tech University has gone 2-3 with a 4.68 ERA (3.35 FIP), 1.41 WHIP, and 46:16 K:BB in his 32 2/3 innings pitched across 33 outings (four starts) for the Bucs. While Montgomery is a late-inning option for the Pirates in their constantly evolving bullpen, he just hasn't been consistent enough in high-leverage situations for fantasy managers to trust as a source of saves in mixed leagues. Montgomery is rostered in just 1% of Yahoo leagues.

Tony Finau Looking for Consistency at John Deere Classic
Tony Finau has had an up-and-down season, making 13 cuts in 18 starts, with just one top-10 finish and four top-25s. He now turns to the John Deere Classic, where he missed the cut in his only appearance back in 2015. Finau has done most of his work around the greens this season, ranking 21st (+0.307 strokes per round), but he sits just 106th on approach (-0.103), 97th in putting (-0.097), and 134th in driving accuracy. At TPC Deere Run, accuracy off the tee tends to be more important than distance, which doesn't play to Finau's strengths right now. At $7,500 on DraftKings, it may be best to wait until he shows more consistent form before buying back in.

Jayden Limar Tasked with Replacing Jonah Coleman
Washington Huskies running back Jayden Limar is expected to assume the starting role in Seattle after three seasons with the rival Oregon Ducks. Oregon's backfield was crowded during his time in Eugene, limiting him to 95 carries for 442 yards, 20 receptions for 207 yards, and five total touchdowns in 33 career game appearances. He'll be tasked with replacing standout running back Jonah Coleman, who tallied 2,342 total yards and 27 total touchdowns over the last two seasons. Coleman was selected in the fourth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Limar is a former four-star recruit and could be one of the Big Ten's surprise breakouts in 2026 playing alongside stud quarterback Demond Williams Jr.

Jacob Bridgeman Looks to Get Back on Track at John Deere Classic
Jacob Bridgeman was one of the hottest players on Tour early in the season, but has since cooled off, recording just one top-30 finish over his last nine starts. He now looks to regain that form at the John Deere Classic, where he finished T5 a year ago. Despite the recent dip in results, Bridgeman still ranks 15th in total strokes gained (+0.916 per round), 43rd on approach (+0.288), fourth in putting (+0.673), and 29th in total driving. His balanced stat profile should suit TPC Deere Run well, as the course rewards players who can combine distance and accuracy off the tee. At $9,500 on DraftKings, Bridgeman remains a strong option with plenty of upside for DFS lineups.

Red Sox Place Connelly Early on Injured List With Elbow Inflammation
The Boston Red Sox announced on Wednesday that they placed left-hander Connelly Early (elbow) on the 15-day injured list with left-elbow inflammation and recalled left-hander Alec Gamboa from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Early threw four shutout innings with two walks and five strikeouts on Tuesday night against the visiting Washington Nationals before the BoSox pulled him early with elbow discomfort. The 24-year-old southpaw will now miss at least the next two weeks and won't be able to rejoin the Red Sox's starting rotation until after the All-Star break in late July, in a best-case scenario. Once Early undergoes tests, we'll have a better idea of whether he'll be ready to return from the IL when eligible after the break. In his first full year in the majors, Early has gone 7-5 with a 3.44 ERA (4.61 FIP) and 1.25 WHIP with 93 strikeouts and 34 walks across 91 2/3 innings and 17 starts. He's had a decent 23.8% walk rate and 8.7% walk rate, but he ranks in the 15th percentile in barrel rate and has allowed 15 homers in his 17 starts.

Christiaan Bezuidenhout Offers Sneaky Value at TPC Deere Run
Christiaan Bezuidenhout has put together a steady season in 2026, making 12 of 15 cuts while recording two top-10 finishes. He now turns to the John Deere Classic, where he finished runner-up in 2022, though he has since missed the cut in each of his last two appearances. Bezuidenhout ranks 36th in total strokes gained (+0.671 per round), 49th on approach (+0.287), 22nd around the green (+0.305), and 22nd in putting (+0.412). The biggest weakness in his game has been off the tee, where he ranks just 133rd while losing 0.333 strokes per round. Much of that is from a lack of distance, ranking 151st on Tour, rather than accuracy, where he sits 60th. On a course where distance isn't necessary, Bezuidenhout could have a sneaky good output for his $7,800 price tag on DraftKings.

Noah Schultz Back in Chicago's Rotation, Worth a Waiver-Wire Pickup?
The Chicago White Sox announced that they reinstated rookie left-hander Noah Schultz (knee) from the injured list to start Wednesday's series finale against the Baltimore Orioles. Schultz will make his return to Chicago's starting rotation after missing over a month with right-knee patellar tendinitis. The White Sox's No. 3 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, made three minor-league rehab starts and shouldn't face any pitch-count limitations on Wednesday against an Orioles team that has the third-most strikeouts in baseball. Schultz was inconsistent in his first eight major-league starts covering 38 2/3 innings before his knee injury, going 2-4 with a 5.82 ERA (4.76 FIP), 1.34 WHIP, and 33:22 K:BB. The 6-foot-10, 240-pounder's bread and butter is a nasty slider that can dominate both lefties and righties, and he complements it with a mid-90s heater. The hulking left-hander has plenty of upside, but he's still a work in progress at the big-league level, and he'll need to lower his 13.1% walk rate to find more success. In deeper leagues, Schultz is worth stashing for his upside.

Justin Wrobleski Caps Off Excellent June With 11 Punchouts
Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Justin Wrobleski dominated the hosting Athletics at hitter-friendly Sutter Health Park on Tuesday night to finish off an excellent month of June on the mound. Wrobleski allowed three earned runs on seven hits (one homer) while walking none and striking out a season-high 11 batters in seven innings for his 10th win of 2026 in the team's 9-3 victory in Sacramento in the final game of the series. The 25-year-old southpaw is now 10-2 in his third year with the Dodgers and has posted a sharp 2.80 ERA (3.47 FIP) and 1.01 WHIP with 64 strikeouts and 18 walks in 93 1/3 innings across 15 appearances (14 starts). In five starts in June over 30 2/3 innings pitched, Wrobleski had a 2.64 ERA (3.63 FIP) with 24 strikeouts, only four walks, and three wins. Wrobleski has won three straight starts for L.A. and hasn't been in the loss column since late May. It's been a breakout season for the former 11th-rounder in 2021 out of Oklahoma State University, but with a 4.25 expected ERA and below-average 17.3% strikeout rate, he's a clear sell-high candidate with the first half of the season coming to an end soon.

Dansby Swanson Stays Hot With Two-Homer Game in Win Over Padres
After a rough start to his 2026 season, Chicago Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson is beginning to heat up with the weather. In the Cubs' 9-7 win over the visiting San Diego Padres on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field, Swanson went 3-for-4 at the plate with two home runs and three RBI to continue his recent hot stretch offensively. The 32-year-old veteran's big game boosted his season slash line to .203/.296/.395 with a .691 OPS, 13 home runs, 49 RBI, 10 stolen bases, and 51 runs scored across his 276 at-bats. In his last 12 games, Swanson has gone 16-for-47 (.340) with six home runs, three doubles, a triple, 21 RBI, 12 runs scored, and four stolen bases in 51 plate appearances. He finished off the month of June with a .247 average (21-for-85) with six long balls, five doubles, a triple, 22 RBI, 17 runs scored, and five stolen bases in 25 games played. Swanson's recent hot stretch has been nice, but his xBA of .206 and xwOBA of .295 say that it won't last. He ranks in the 57th percentile in hard-hit rate, the 46th percentile in barrel rate, and just the 24th percentile in expected slugging.

A.J. Greer Lands Four-Year, $17 Million Deal With Ducks
Anaheim Ducks left wing A.J. Greer has signed a four-year, $17 million contract with the team, ESPN's Greg Wyshynski reports. The 29-year-old is getting a significant salary boost after just completing a two-year deal with an $850,000 cap hit. Greer was a pending free agent when the Ducks acquired him from the Florida Panthers in exchange for defenseman Radko Gudas last week. In his final season with the Panthers, Greer enjoyed a career year with 32 points (17 goals, 15 assists) in 78 games. He led the team with 203 hits. In 2025-26, Greer benefited from Florida's injury problems and is unlikely to match his offensive production next season. But he will add grit and experience to the lineup as a bottom-six piece.

Cade Cavalli Dominates BoSox With Career-High 13 Strikeouts
Washington Nationals right-hander Cade Cavalli had his swing-and-miss stuff working in Tuesday night's 8-1 win over the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. Cavalli allowed just an unearned run on one hit while walking none and striking out a career-high 13 batters in seven innings to pick up his fifth win of the year and lower his ERA to 3.69. He's now sporting a 3.22 FIP and 1.33 WIHP with 102 strikeouts and 29 walks in 90 1/3 innings across his career-high 18 starts in just his third big-league season. Cavalli also leads the majors with 12 hit-by-pitches. The 27-year-old former first-round pick in 2020 out of the University of Oklahoma retired the last 19 batters he faced and generated 25 whiffs on his 100 pitches. It was the first time this season that Cavalli didn't allow an earned run, and he's held the opponent to three runs or fewer in all but two of his 18 starts in 2026. Cavalli had a 3.82 ERA (3.56 FIP) with 34 strikeouts and eight walks in 30 2/3 innings in his six starts in June, and he should be trusted in fantasy lineups for his next scheduled outing against the Houston Astros.

The 24-year-old joined his home-state team in March after a four-year run with the Philadelphia Flyers. Brink struggled to adjust to his new surroundings, posting only four points (two goals, two assists) in 13 games. He even spent time as a healthy scratch during the playoffs. However, the Wild are ready to give Brink another go, and he should be determined to prove his worth in 2026-27. Brink will hold a middle-six spot and could see increased power-play time following the departures of Mats Zuccarello and Marcus Johansson.

Riley Greene Continues Strong Season With Two Homers on Tuesday
Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene continued to swing the bat well this year in Tuesday's 9-3 victory on the road against the New York Yankees, going 2-for-4 at the plate with three RBI and a strikeout to boost his season average to .288 and his OPS to .828. The talented 25-year-old left-handed-hitting outfielder is now up to 11 home runs, 37 RBI, 43 runs scored, and a stolen base on the year while posting a .378 on-base percentage and .450 slugging percentage in his 309 at-bats in 2026. It was the two-time All-Star's first multi-home run game of the season in his fifth year in the league. Greene closed out the month of June in style and finished with a .258 average (24-for-93) with seven home runs, two doubles, 12 RBI, and 13 runs scored in 25 games and 109 plate appearances. He doesn't have much upside on the basepaths, with just 15 steals in four-plus MLB seasons, but he has a solid floor everywhere else, and it's encouraging that he's dropped his strikeout rate from a career-high 30.7% last year to 26.9% this year. Continue to roll him out there every day in fantasy lineups.
