DVR and Al assess the fantasy value of several prospects who were promoted in the past week, including Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Endy Rodríguez and Cade Marlowe. They also look into the types of leagues where Alex Kirilloff and Oswald Peraza should be added, determine which pitchers are worth streaming in the coming week and highlight relievers who could become closers after the trade deadline.
