Fantasy Baseball Watchlist Highlights Key Players for Late Season

The Fantasy Baseball Watchlist has been updated to assist players in identifying key targets for waiver wire pickups and trades as the season nears its conclusion. This column highlights players who could become valuable assets in the coming weeks.

Javier Sanoja has been noted for his potential increase in fantasy production, currently batting .279 with six home runs and six stolen bases. His impressive contact rate, with an 8.4% strikeout rate, positions him favorably for upcoming matchups against teams with low strikeout rates, including the Washington Nationals and Kansas City Royals.

Tim Tawa, while having a season batting average of .250, has shown improved performance recently, hitting .298 with seven home runs since July 10. The Arizona Diamondbacks are set to face several teams with weaker pitching, which could enhance Tawa's fantasy value as the season progresses.
