Bohm was dropped in many leagues after he opened the year in a platoon following a disappointing sophomore campaign, but he’s since become the Phillies’ everyday third baseman with Bryson Stott sent to the minors. Bohm has admittedly regressed some after an extremely hot start to the season, but he’s a former highly regarded prospect who batted .338 (138 wRC+) as a rookie. Bohm hits the ball on the ground too frequently to provide a ton of power, but he has nearly as many walks as strikeouts and sports a .345 expected batting average that’s in the top 1% of the league. Put differently, major league hitters are batting a historically low .232 collectively across the league this season, so someone with a strong BA is extra valuable in fantasy right now.

He’s been an everyday player immediately since coming off the IL, including having a prime spot in LA’s lineup. Over his first nine games, Ward has three homers and three SB attempts with an 8:10 K:BB ratio. All three of Ward’s homers have come off righties, and his expected wOBA is in the 99th percentile.
