Top Fantasy Baseball Pickups for the Week: Nootbaar, Scott, Beck

This week’s pickups in fantasy baseball offer some intriguing options for managers looking to bolster their rosters. Let’s take a closer look at three players who could make an impact in the coming weeks.

Lars Nootbaar, outfielder for the Cardinals, is rostered in 35% of Yahoo leagues. Despite a slow start to the season, Nootbaar’s underlying Statcast numbers suggest that better days are ahead. With an xBA of .260 and xSLG of .445, Nootbaar has the potential to provide solid production for fantasy managers. As an everyday player for the Cardinals, he could be a valuable addition to your roster.

Christian Scott, a starting pitcher for the Mets, is rostered in 18% of Yahoo leagues. After an impressive stint in Triple-A, Scott will make his major league debut against the Rays. With excellent command of his fastball and slider, Scott has the potential to be a reliable middle-of-the-rotation starter. Keep an eye on him as he could provide value in WHIP and strikeouts for fantasy managers.

Jordan Beck, outfielder for the Rockies, is rostered in 10% of Yahoo leagues. With Nolan Jones sidelined due to injury, Beck has the opportunity to showcase his skills at the major league level. With 20-homer power and speed on the basepaths, Beck has the potential to be a valuable fantasy asset, especially with the hitter-friendly confines of Coors Field on his side.

As fantasy managers look to make moves to improve their rosters, Nootbaar, Scott, and Beck are three players worth considering. Keep an eye on their performances in the coming weeks as they could provide a boost to your fantasy team.
