Kumar Rocker – SP – Texas Rangers
Kumar Rocker’s “Death Ball” slider has been one of the most dominant pitches in baseball. He’s making hitters look foolish with his elite pitch mix, particularly his slider that leaves analysts confused whether it’s a slider, curveball, or simply a devastating breaking ball. Rocker’s innings are limited, and he is capped at around 75 pitches, so you won’t get many wins from him. However, if you’re looking for someone to boost your ratios and strikeout numbers, Rocker is your guy.

Tommy Pham – OF – Kansas City Royals
Tommy Pham has found new life after being picked up by Kansas City. Now thriving in a leadoff role, Pham is delivering solid fantasy numbers. He’s a proven veteran with a solid floor, capable of providing home runs, steals, and a reliable batting average. Pham is worth adding, especially if you need a consistent outfielder down the stretch.

Zack Gelof – 2B – Oakland Athletics
Zack Gelof may have had a disappointing season overall, but he’s showing signs of life when it matters most. With 17 homers and 23 steals, Gelof offers a nice power-speed combo, making him valuable in roto and head-to-head leagues. He’s hitting well in September and could be a difference-maker for fantasy managers needing middle infield production.

Lucas Erceg is quietly emerging as one of the most reliable relievers in baseball.

His ability to miss bats and control the strike zone makes him an appealing pickup for those chasing saves and ratios.
