Dropping off: Luis Rengifo (16th), Vaughn Grissom (44th), Javier Báez (48th), Brett Wisely (49th)

• I initially had Xavier Edwards ninth here, but his apparently mild back issue dropped him back to 17th. I was not expecting him to do nearly this much running, but he’s been tremendously valuable with his 22 steals in 47 games. Of course, it was the last of those steals that led to his hopefully brief IL stint.

• Tyler Fitzgerald followed up his stunning July homer outburst by hitting a still exceptional .281/.327/.500 with five homers in August. Furthermore, he’s 9-for-10 stealing bases in those 23 games. Fitzgerald’s exit velocity numbers still aren’t all that exciting, particularly since they come with a 29% strikeout rate, but he should remain a terrific basestealer, and it’s not like he needs to be great offensively to stick as a regular with his ability to play a fine shortstop and second base (or even center field). I’m placing him 90th among position players this month.
