Here are some final-month rankings. I’m a little short on comments, since I’ll be hopping on a plane awfully early Monday morning. Please try not to get too bent out of shape if your star player isn’t listed where you like ... anything can happen in a month.
As always, players are ranked by position and then combined into an overall top 300 list.

- Matt Chapman’s finger is enough of a concern to get him dropped several spots this month. He’ll probably try to keep playing through it if he can, but it definitely seems to be limiting him; he’s hit just .200/.250/.280 with one homer this month.
