We managed to make it through a week without a major injury, which is no small feat this season in fantasy baseball. There will be plenty of time to look back on this season in a few weeks, but we are officially reaching the home stretch. There are many leagues that have playoffs throughout September, so this final couple of weeks is crucial.
Three Up:
1. Philadelphia Phillies Outfielder Rhys Hoskins -- I bring this up all the time: when young prospects are promoted, it is hard to know what kind of immediate impact they will make. Especially this late in the season, there's no time for patience. Hoskins has been a prospect who has made an immediate impact, as he has hit five home runs in first 11 games. On the flip side, New York Mets first base prospect Dominic Smith was promoted at the same time and has only collected five hits total since moving up to the big leagues. Despite a .237 batting average, fantasy owners who decided to take a chance with Hoskins are benefiting with the power surge.
