The Fantasy Realm: Varsho’s Plight & Orion’s Ascent

Daulton Varsho might not have turned into the fantasy supernova some expected, but don't sleep on him yet, folks! The Blue Jays' outfielder’s swingin’ strikes to walks improved from last year, and if you believe in the stolen base tea leaves from spring training, it’s just a matter of time before he finds his groove. Yeah, he's had a slower start in the regular season, but his bat contact is lookin' solid. Fantasy managers, Varsho could still hit that sweet 20-20 (homers-steals), so don’t ditch him from your roster!

Orion Kerkering: The Bullpen’s Rising Star

Orion Kerkering is the arm to watch! After a scare with a phantom forearm strain, Kerkering knocked out 10 strikeouts in his rehab sessions, signaling he's ready to bring fire to the Phillies' bullpen. While the closer spot is a bit of a tease right now, keep an eye on him; his slider and fastball could knock anyone's socks off!

Vaughn Grissom: Ready to Own The Green Monster

Traded from the Braves, Grissom's geared up and back in action for the Red Sox - and this guy's all about doubles, not necessarily homers. Fenway's famous wall could be his new best friend. So while a hamstring injury benched him for spring, he’s revving up in the minors and soon, he might just be the mixed league diamond in the rough.

Quick Hits: To Keep or Not to Keep?

  • Lance Lynn: Maybe not a permanent bench warmer, with his eyes on the A's and Brewers.
  • Sean Manaea & MacKenzie Gore: Definitely worth a permanent spot. Fingers crossed for their high flyers!
  • Michael Kopech: Might not ring the victory bell a lot with the White Sox, but he’ll spin those saves and Ks your way.
