Dropping off: Elias Díaz (26th), Hunter Goodman (34th)

• It seems like increased time at DH has done William Contreras some good, and after two down months in a row, he’s come in at .279/.380/.605 in August. It’s also helped Gary Sánchez, who has gotten five starts at catcher and five at DH this month and hit .324/.465/.588 in 43 plate appearances. I imagine he’ll keep seeing additional time, so he moves into the top 20 here.

• Adrian Del Castillo would rank in the top 15 if Gabriel Moreno were out for the year with his adductor strain, but it’s looking like Moreno will return for the final three weeks or so.

• I was planning on dropping David Fry a few spots, but then the Guardians started him at DH against righties both Tuesday and Wednesday. I’d still rather see them give Kyle Manzardo a shot in that role during the final month, but I’m not sure if that’s the plan. If Manzardo is recalled, Fry would be a weaker play in two-catcher mixed leagues.
