Jake Bauers is Becoming a Must-Have Player
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers is posting strong numbers at the plate recently. Over the last week, Bauers has hit two home runs, eight RBI, and six walks. Overall this season, Bauers is slashing .275/.371/.500 with eight homers and 28 RBI against right-handed pitching. He's crushing the ball right now and is showing no signs of slowing down at the plate. The 30-year-old could very well be headed towards a career-year, assuming he keeps playing at this pace. Fantasy managers in need of a stick should consider adding Bauers before someone else scoops him up off the waiver wire.

Christian Scott is a Popular Add During Breakout Season
New York Mets starting pitcher Christian Scott has looked solid on the mound during most of his outings this season. Scott has locked it in lately with impressive numbers over his last three starts. During that span, Scott has allowed one earned run with 16 strikeouts across 16.1 innings of work. Overall, Scott owns a 2.50 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and a 41:18 K:BB ratio across eight starts this season. The biggest downside to Scott so far has been his inability to work deep into games. Scott has not managed to pitch six full innings in any of his outings this season. Despite that, Scott has posted strong numbers and is someone worth scooping up on the waiver wire right now.

Will Smith is Scratched with Neck Stiffness
Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith (neck) has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Smith is being pulled from the lineup on Saturday due to neck stiffness. The team doesn't believe this to be a serious issue and is hopeful Smith will be back in the lineup on Sunday. In the meantime, Dalton Rushing will cover behind the plate and bat eighth versus right-hander Jack Kochanowicz. Fantasy managers should check back ahead of Sunday's game for another update on Smith. They should also double-check their lineups and remove Smith before the first pitch

Jorge Polanco is Shut Down from Rehab Assignment
New York Mets infielder Jorge Polanco (Achilles, ankle) had his rehab assignment shut down on Saturday. Polanco was rehabbing an Achilles issue until he suffered an ankle injury on Saturday. The veteran infielder will head to New York to be re-evaluated before the team decides what to do. When healthy, Polanco was struggling with a .179/.246/.286 slash line across 14 games this season. This setback is likely going to push Polanco's timetable to later in June. The 32-year-old remains someone worth holding in deep leagues, but can be dropped in most formats outside of that.
