BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
OWNED IN: 62% Yahoo
ANALYSIS: The Twins would qualify for the playoffs if the season ended today, and Jorge Polanco's second-half surge is a big reason why. The 24-year-old infielder entered the All-Star break among the worst hitters in baseball, posting a pathetic .224/.273/.323 batting line. He's hit .317/.370/.576 since, with seven home runs, four stolen bases, and 49 R+RBI in 40 games. Over the past month, he's been particularly locked in, recording multiple hits in 14 of 29 games. Furthermore, all seven of those second-half dingers have come in the last two weeks. It's no surprise, then, that Polanco has been one of the most popular adds on all of the major fantasy platforms in recent days.
While it's unlikely that he'll continue to produce at this level for the balance of the regular season, stranger things have happened. Polanco's production and positional flexibility make him worth a pickup in any format, and you can still grab him in over a third of Yahoo leagues right now.
