Fantasy Baseball Player News

TJ Rumfield, 1B, Colorado Rockies

Colorado Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield has been a huge addition to his team's offense, and he can give your fantasy lineup a boost if you're looking for some power production at first base from the waiver wire. Rumfield was acquired from the Yankees in a trade late in spring training and earned the starting 1B job with a big spring. He has lived up to his potential through 200 plate appearances this season, hitting .275 with six homers, 20 runs scored, and 25 RBI. He has a .349 wOBA and a .433 SLG, with just a 15.5% K%.

Rumfield has been especially hot lately, going 2-for-4 on Wednesday against the Rangers and hitting .321 with three homers and a .414 wOBA over his last 15 games. The Rockies are in Arizona for a four-game series this weekend at Chase Field before heading to Los Angeles to face the Dodgers next week. Rumfield is a solid waiver wire pickup even as the Rockies go on the road, though, since he has produced great batting average and power numbers as a key part of the heart of Colorado's lineup.

Josh Lowe, OF, Los Angeles Angels

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Josh Lowe connected on his fifth long ball of the year in the second inning off Aaron Civale in his team's extra-inning loss on Wednesday night. Lowe went 1-for-4 with two RBI and two strikeouts and is still hitting only .182 on the year with a 29.2% K%. However, he has been much more productive lately. In his last 10 games, he is 8-for-24 (.333) with a 47.1% hard-hit rate and a .379 wOBA.

He has a .215 BABIP on the season, which is well below league average, and if more of his contact starts falling in, his average could climb in the next few weeks. The lefty remains in a platoon but does have a high ceiling despite his low batting average and high strikeout rate. If you're in a deep league, Lowe has shown enough signs over the last 10 games to watch him closely moving forward or try to get ahead of a surge with a speculative pickup.

His power potential is clearly intriguing if he can continue his current momentum.
