Closer look at 3 must-add players in fantasy baseball leagues right now
#1 Jake Burger
Trending
Unlike some fast-food options, this burger will be great for you. Miami Marlins slugger Jake Burger has been sensational for the club lately, tearing the cover off the ball in nearly every game.
The 28-year-old is continuing his star turn this season, hitting 4 home runs in his last 5 games. Adding effective home run power to the waiver wire is never easy but Burger could feed that goal.
#2 Jake McCarthy
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Jake McCarthy is one of the most underrated players in the MLB right now. The 27-year-old has been scorching hot at the plate lately and fantasy managers should do their best to capitalize on that production.
Over his last 5 games, McCarthy has posted an unfathomable .524 batting average, a pair of home runs and 12 RBIs. Add him everywhere you can.
#3 Spencer Arrighetti
For those looking to add a starting pitcher before the postseason, look no further than Houston Astros rising star Spencer Arrighetti. The 24-year-old rookie has been one of the hottest pitchers on the mound lately, racking up a whopping 33 strikeouts over his last three starts.
Although Arrighetti has been inconsistent at times also during the season, he has been simply unstoppable lately. While he has struggled to keep runs off the board, the rookie has a juicy matchup against the lowly Chicago White Sox this week. So, fantasy baseball managers should lock him up where they can.
