Recommended Pickup
Yasiel Puig, OF, LAD – Freshly recalled from Triple-A, where the Cuban defector was hitting .313/.383/.599 with eight homers, 37 RBI and 13 steals in 40 games, Puig jumped straight into the leadoff spot for the Dodgers on Monday and got a hit in his first big-league at-bat. With Matt Kemp and Carl Crawford on the DL, and Andre Ethier struggling, Puig's going to get a chance to play every day. He's a rare potential impact bat to get called up, so although his future in the majors this season is uncertain, fantasy owners (especially in keeper leagues) need to scoop him up.
