Alex Bregman Slugging .768 Over Last 15 Games
Alex Bregman is peaking offensively at the right time and is slugging .768 over his last 15 games heading into Tuesday's action against the Rays. Once again, Bregman has been an elite force at the plate in the second half of the season.

Alex Bregman went 3-for-5 with a home run in Tuesday's 10-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. His other two hits were singles, and he scored three runs.

Bregman is slashing a superb .331/.401/.570 with 11 doubles, six homers, 23 RBI, and 22 runs scored. He seems to have taken a slight step back in his strikeout percentage (18.2%), but his batted ball metrics have been exceptional.

Alex Bregman Back From Paternity Leave
Alex Bregman has been activated from the paternity list prior to Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. In a corresponding move, the Red Sox have designated right-handed pitcher Michael Fulmer. Bregman is slated to cover the hot corner and bat third on Friday evening. The 31-year-old was held out of the starting nine for just one contest. Over his last six games, Bregman has enjoyed an impressive offensive surge, as he has posted a .391/.462/.739 line with two doubles and two long balls. Under the hood, he has generated a solid .343 xwOBA while posting an elite 13.6 percent whiff rate. Bregman is worth a look in DFS facing Chicago southpaw Martin Perez as he looks to stay hot at the plate.
