You still have something to play for before turning your attention to targets, shots on goal and Player Efficiency Rating. Until then, why don’t we all fly around third like Billy Hamilton and press toward the conclusion. There are still a handful of waiver wire candidates who can make a difference in the final two weeks of the regular season. Hey, the money you make winning your league title would go a long way toward investing in an iPhone 7 and further boost the Apple stock you may own.

Brandon Drury, OF/3B/2B, Diamondbacks: While everyone has been in awe over the recent production of Yankees C Gary Sanchez, Drury has quietly become a strong waiver wire play with his full-on assault of opposing pitchers this month. Entering Thursday, Drury’s slash line was an imposing .457/.513/.886 with a 1.399 OPS. His bat has been blistering hot the past week, as Drury walloped hurlers to the tune of .520/.571/1.120 with a 1.691 OPS. Seven of his last 13 hits have been of the extra base variety, which is why his ownership has rocketed from just under five percent to nearly 19 percent in polled leagues. Granted, the D’Backs welcome the NL West-leading Dodgers over the weekend, but as torrid as Drury’s bat has been, he should be plugged into your lineup (a task made easy by his versatility) and he’s a tremendous option in DFS formats.

Mike Montgomery, P, Cubs: While he hasn’t won a game since August 11, Montgomery is becoming a poster boy for the phrase “slow and steady wins the race.” Monty has bounced back and forth between the rotation and the bullpen for the NL Central champs, but he has allowed just 11 runs in his last ten outings (six of those came in consecutive starts on August 26 and September 1). His ownership in polled leagues is around seven percent, but with the Cubs locking up the division, manager Joe Maddon will look to skip his starters here and there in order to have them ready for the postseason, making Montgomery the top candidate to steal a start or two down the stretch. He shows strikeout potential, averaging 8.4 whiffs per nine innings while holding opponents to a .220 batting average against him. There’s little risk in Montgomery, especially if Maddon holds true and makes him a workhorse of sorts over the last two weeks.

Clayton Richard, P, Padres: From the “where the hell is this coming from?” files comes Richard’s revival, as the journeyman has become a Fantasy-viable arm over the past several weeks. Richard won his fourth straight start on Tuesday despite scattering 11 hits over 5.2 innings of work while also holding opponents to three or fewer runs for the sixth straight start since joining the Padres’ rotation. He’s somehow defined the odds by sporting a 2.04 ERA this month despite having a .347 batting average against, and while the numbers suggest he can’t keep this up, his rise in ownership to just over 12 percent in polled leagues is a strong counter to that belief. San Diego has played well over the past two weeks, and if they’re able to maintain that pace to the finish line, then Richard is an intriguing play who’s also shown decent strikeout ability this month, having fanned 16 in 17.2 innings.

Domingo Santana, OF, Brewers: A spate of injuries led to a pair of extended trips to the disabled list that dampened the sleeper potential the big slugger showed before the start of the regular season. Yet, Santana has put together a September that should make him a strong clip ‘n save candidate next year in NL-only and deeper league formats. Entering Thursday, Santana has hit .343/.395/.686 with a 1.081 OPS to go along with four homers and nine RBIs. Currently owned in just under seven percent of polled leagues, Santana may be more friendly to DFS formats, but he presents a good gamble if you’re an owner in need of a late jolt of home runs. He is who is, which is why Santana’s strikeout rate of 32 percent shouldn’t bother you when you consider he has improved his walk rate to from ten percent last season to just under 13 percent entering this weekend. The Brewers’ outfield is going to be tighter than a sardine can next spring, but regardless of whether he stays in Milwaukee or is shipped off in a trade, take advantage of Santana’s September sample and remember the joy when next March swings around.

Steven Souza, OF, Rays: Compared to Souza, the aforementioned Santana is Rod Carew when it comes to contact. Souza is a walking cold front with the frequency he swings and misses, but when has that stretch where he does make contact, one can understand why the Rays still feel he can be a productive player. Case in point: he’s hit four homers in his last 24 at-bats while scoring eight runs and driving in five en route to a 1.300 OPS. Part of his recent success has come from a better late than never mindset at the plate, as Souza has walked five times in the last week. While Joey Votto has the potential to walk five times in a row, the fact that Souza has pulled off this feat constitutes just over 16 percent of his walk production this season. Owned in nearly 15 percent of polled leagues, Souza could reach the 20-homer barrier for the first time in his brief career, which makes him a worthy gamble when you also consider his stolen base potential.

Cesar Hernandez, 2B, Phillies: Much of the reason why the Phils didn’t feel rushed to bring up top prospect J.P. Crawford (well, there was also the fact Crawford hit just .244 after moving to Triple-A, but let’s not let that factor into this, OK?) was the play of both SS Freddie Galvis and Hernandez, each of whom has hit well after the All-Star Break. While Galvis’ surprising run toward becoming a 20-homer shortstop is a more interesting medical wonder than the health of the Notorious HRC and Donald of Orange, Hernandez has hit a solid .284 post-ASB while boosting his OBP from .329 to .398 and added 11 stolen bases to his cause. He’s also shown a bit of a power surge, as four of his six homers entering Thursday’s play have come after the break. His ownership in polled leagues sits around ten percent, and while most standard leagues have blown him off, Hernandez is a good fit in deeper leagues and he’s a low-cost middle infielder with upside in DFS formats.

Ubaldo Jimenez, P, Orioles: Look, it’s not the filthy stuff that made Jimenez an All-Star with the Rockies in 2010, but his recent body of work is worth noticing in deeper leagues. Jimenez won his second straight start this past Saturday and he’s allowed three runs or fewer in eight of his last ten appearances. He’s done a good job of keeping Chris Tillman’s spot in the rotation warm, which is why his ownership experienced a surge of sorts to just under nine percent in polled leagues. The bet here is that he will remain in the rotation (with Wade Miley the odd man out), as he does offer pennant race experience and has sported a 3.24 ERA since the All-Star break. If you believe in late-game surprises, Jimenez would be a good candidate to deliver in the last two weeks.
