Dropping off: Kris Bryant (34th), Ben Rice (36th), Tyler Vlack (53rd), Bligh Madris (55th), Enrique Hernández (59th), Mark Canha (60th)

• I don’t like dropping Freddie Freeman this much, but the hairline fracture in his finger is clearly bothering him. Hopefully, it’s something he can overcome these next two weeks, but he might be better off serving a quick IL stint.

• Christian Walker’s return from an oblique strain doesn’t seem far away, so Josh Bell plummets to No. 40 here. He’s still worth playing until Walker gets back, but there just isn’t going to be much for him to do afterwards. Joc Pederson hasn’t played an inning in the outfield all year, and it doesn’t seem like it would make much sense to ask him to do so now.
