ADVICE

Let Go Of Shane Baz

  • Drop Shane Baz in most formats as he has been wildly inconsistent and recently shelled.
  • Prioritize roster spots for pitchers with reliable ratios and consistent innings over Baz's sporadic upside.
ADVICE

Stop Banking On Tanner Bibee

  • Consider dropping Tanner Bibee; he has lacked consistent positive months outside a brief run.
  • Don't bank on a late-season turnaround with limited runway left for fantasy playoffs.
INSIGHT

Cristopher Sanchez's Breakout Approach

  • Cristopher Sanchez has emerged as an elite, multi-category pitcher by leaning on his changeup and producing strong peripherals.
  • He's moved into top-five rest-of-season consideration and could be an NL Cy Young candidate.
