Atomic RoadRunners | Andrew Flynn’s High-Energy Fantasy Baseball

Casey Blake, acquired by the Dodgers from Cleveland on Saturday for a pair of minor leaguers, started at third base Saturday night and was 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored. Blake, who was batting .234 through the end of May, is hitting .352 in 45 games since then with 29 RBI. He is the fifth player to start at third base this season for Los Angeles. Blake is an outstanding addition in all NL-only leagues and is a streaky player that can impact any mixed Fantasy format, too. Consider him hot and a solid start in any league right now.

Blake was batting .289 for the Indians, but he’s been hot over the last month, with a .347 average, four home runs and 12 RBI in his last 21 games. This would obviously be a blow to anybody who owns him in AL-only formats, but Fantasy owners in NL-only leagues should get ready to invest on Blake off the waiver wire. He’ll get regular at-bats at third base it appears and will be a solid corner infield option in those leagues. (CBS Sports)
