Lackey won the third time and has thrown at least seven innings in his last four starts in which he has struck out 31 batters. It's too late to buy low, so you'll have to pay full price to get him. (SportsBuff.com)

Abreu still only has six homers this season. He hit .303 in June after a poor May. He makes for a decent mixed league outfielder, but not someone who will win you a championship. (SportsBuff.com)

It's anybody's guess how long Sweet Lou will have Soriano (.230) on the bench. Meanwhile, Fuld is taking advantage of his first playing time since a cup of coffee with the Cubs in 2007. He may be worth a pickup in NL-only leagues. (SportsBuff.com)

Lee now has 14 homers on the season. I think he is trying to prove something to an anonymous updated writer. Hey, if that's what it takes to get Lee going, I'll goad him all season long. He's not this good... (SportsBuff.com)

McClung was an average middle reliever, but he is not worth your attention as a starter. He has split his career between the pen and rotation, and never really found a home. (SportsBuff.com)

Cameron had really been slumping with just two hits in his last 20 at bats. His low average (.243) is expected, but he only has four steals this year. (SportsBuff.com)

Ludwick has fallen back to earth after playing like a stud in 2008. He has 11 homers but just a .239 average. (SportsBuff.com)

Ryan will see consistent playing time while Mark DeRosa is out with his sprained wrist. He has a .298 average and six steals (but none since June 10). (SportsBuff.com)

Johjima has a .262 average after hitting .227 last year. He missed a month after injuring his toe and has been back for just four games. It is good to see him hitting again. (SportsBuff.com)

Gutierrez has a five-game hitting streak that includes 12 hits. He has hits in 12 of his last 13 games. He tends to be very hot and very cold, but he could be of use in mixed leagues. (SportsBuff.com)

The road used to be Rodriguez's kryptonite. He said that he thought he was tipping his pitches and has three quality starts in his last five games. While he isn't as good as he was in the first month of the season, he is still a good mixed league starter. (SportsBuff.com)

Berkman has seven hits in his last four games and five multi-hit games in his last eight. He has his average up to .265 and hit .318 in June. (SportsBuff.com)

Blum had missed two weeks with a strained hamstring. He is hitting .266 and the homer was his second of the season. There's no reason to look at him in mixed leagues, but he could be a decent 1B/3B in NL-only leagues. (SportsBuff.com)

Capps had a 2.45 ERA in June and converted all eight of his save opportunities. He is still a lower tier closer because of his 4.88 ERA and 1.48 WHIP (as well as playing for the Pirates). (SportsBuff.com)

With the Pirate outfield in transition, the former Twin may get some playing time. Thursday may have been a career game, but keep an eye on him in NL-only leagues if he gets consistent playing time. (SportsBuff.com)

Harang has four straight quality starts that did not result in wins. He was terribly unlucky last year and that bad juju seems to be continuing in 2009. (SportsBuff.com)

Votto has a five-game hitting and has hits in all but two of his nine game since returning from the DL. The rest of the Reds offense is not doing much and he only had four runs and five RBI in that stretch despite all the hits. (SportsBuff.com)

Bedard will throw a simulated game to build arm strength. Before hitting the DL on June 7, Bedard had been pitching well. He had 65 K's in 65.2 innings with a 2.47 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. (SportsBuff.com)

The Cubs hoped that Freel would provide some speed on the basepaths while Aramis Ramirez was out. With Ramirez coming back on Monday, Freel was deemed expendable. (SportsBuff.com)

Baker had 12 homers last year and was a nice piece of the Rockie infield. He replaces Ryan Freel on the Cubs roster as a utility infielder. (SportsBuff.com)

Rodriguez allowed two runs on four hits including a game-tying two-run home run to Adam LaRoche. (SportsBuff.com)

Redding was bailed out of another loss with the Mets' coming from behind to win. He has gave up ten earned runs in his past two starts in only 7.2 innings. (SportsBuff.com)

Teahen is batting .351 (13-for-37) over his last ten games. (SportsBuff.com)

Buehrle improved to 8-2 on the season with a 3.09 ERA. (SportsBuff.com)

After being nearly untouchable for the first two months of the season, Francisco has proved human. He has allowed five runs in his last two outings and the Rangers could easily go back to C.J. Wilson, who was effective as their closer. (SportsBuff.com)

Lohse last pitched on June 3. He was a decent starter prior to his injury and tallied a 3.99 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. He in on the fringe of being roster-worth in mixed leagues. (SportsBuff.com)

DeRosa's career as a Cardinal has started in a bumpy fashion. He went 0-for-9 with a walk in his first three games with the team, then sprained his wrist. Bench him for now. (SportsBuff.com)

Ramirez likely won't be the cureall for the Cubs' offense or for your team's. Shoulder injuries tend to sap power, but it is a good sign that Ramirez will be coming back sooner rather than later. (SportsBuff.com)

After starting the season horribly (12 earned runs in his first two starts), Moehler has calmed down and pitched reasonably well. He has allowed just eight earned runs over his last four starts and could be useful in NL-only leagues. (SportsBuff.com)

The Cardinals only scored one run while Wainwright was on the rubber, but won the game in the 10th. He has 101 K's in 114 innings. (SportsBuff.com)

Rasmus has four hits in his last two games to raise his average to .270. He hit .333 in June with nine doubles. (SportsBuff.com)
