• Since he’s been losing playing time against righties, I was prepared to drop Maikel Garcia in the rankings this month. However, he’s currently looking better than he has at any point since April. On Sunday, he actually had a game in which he hit five balls over 100 mph. So, this is a compromise ranking. I’d have him in the top 10 if I thought the Royals were more committed to him. He’s actually been a top-10 fantasy third baseman, thanks in large part to his 32 steals in 33 attempts.

• I’m guessing no callup is forthcoming for Deyvison De Los Santos, the top prospect the Marlins got from the Diamondbacks for A.J. Puk in July, in spite of his 35 homers this year. After breaking through in Double-A and keeping it going early on for Arizona’s Triple-A club, he’s come in at a modest .245/.301/.472 in 40 games since the beginning of July. He only just turned 21, so this isn’t much of a setback. Still, better plate discipline will probably be a must for him to succeed in the majors.
