Both Locastro and Cron are worthy sleeper picks in […]

Ketel Marte Sitting Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman/outfielder Ketel Marte is getting the day off Wednesday. This looks like just a regular day off for the scorching-hot Marte, who has three home runs, seven runs and seven RBI over his past five games.

Welcome to this week's Power Hitting Risers & Fallers. All stats are full season through Monday, May 27th (unless otherwise noted).

Christian Walker Slumping Badly

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Christian Walker is 1-for-his last 26 and batting .169 in the month of May.
