|---|---|---|
| Yangervis Solarte (SD) | at ARI | 9 |
| Javier Baez (CHC) | at CIN | 8 |
| Todd Frazier (CWS) | vs. MIN | 8 |
Solarte is batting .373 with two homers, four doubles and 16 RBIs in the month of September. The switch-hitter has been much more successful from the left side, maximizing his ceiling versus RHP Braden Shipley at the hitter-friendly Chase Field.

| Chase Headley (NYY) | vs. BAL | 6 |
Franco is batting .345/.441/.655 with three homers and 10 RBIs in his last seven games. Bank on him continuing his hot streak.

Reyes is priced way too high for a player hitting .226/.294/.403 in his last 14 games.
