I have returned from a getaway to San Francisco, and while I didn’t play any daily fantasy while out there, I made sure my seasonal teams still received plenty of attention. A vacation may be time away from work, but if you’re like me, there’s never a break from your fantasy team. In this edition of Category Impact, I highlight two Cincinnati Reds, a young Bronx Bomber and a speedy Brewer who can help your team down the stretch.

Gary Sanchez, C NYY— Sanchez is only three games away from gaining catcher eligibility in most leagues, but if yours only requires five starts, then he already has it. He’s has been a breath of fresh air in the Yankee lineup and if you already have him in fantasy, you’ve enjoyed the recent production. He’s recorded a hit in six of his last seven games, posting a .481 average (13-for-27) with five home runs, eight RBI and seven runs scored. The fact that he has, or will shortly have, catcher eligibility is a huge boost to his fantasy value. Given the nature of the position this season, Sanchez could be the upgrade your team desperately needs. At this point of the season, Sanchez is likely be the best option you have to boost your catching situation.

Dan Straily, SP CIN— Straily is 9-6 on the season with a 3.72 ERA and 1.14 WHIP, which are decent numbers for a starter, especially if you pitch for the Cincinnati Reds. He’s been a huge beneficiary of a .243 BABIP that ranks fifth-lowest among qualified starters. The 27-year old right-hander may not offer anything elite, but what he has been is consistent. After an abysmal June, Straily posted a 2.41 ERA in July and is currently sporting a 3.09 ERA this month of August. In nine starts since the calendar turned to July, Straily is 5-1 with a 44:11 K:BB ratio in 57 innings of work. The 27-year-old right-hander has posted at least four strikeouts in seven straight starts, and he hasn’t allowed more than two earned runs in a game during that span as well. He’s worth a roster spot on your team.

Homer Bailey, SP CIN— Bailey struggled in his first two post-Tommy John starts, but he’s looked excellent in his last two outings. Over his last 11 innings, he’s allowed just one earned run on nine hits while posting an exceptional 17:2 K:BB ratio. His bullpen might drop a few wins for him the rest of the way, but he’s going to continue to rack up quality starts for Cincinnati and your fantasy team. He might not be a sexy addition, but he’s one that is going to help your team the rest of the way. Bailey is just a few years removed from punching out nearly 200 batters in a season. Listen here, he’s going to help you down the stretch.

Keon Broxton, OF MIL— I wrote about Broxton earlier in the year, but he didn’t come along as quick as I expected. However, he’s looking good now and is a valuable source of steals moving forward. In August, he’s slashing .357/.460/.500 with one home run, eight walks, five RBI and nine stolen bases. He’s only been caught stealing once all season, good for a 94.4 percent success rate. His batting average is up to .234, but don’t think he’s going to be a huge boost to your team in that category. Broxton’s hit tool has always been considered below average, so his already low batting average may slip when this current hot streak burns out. However, the speedy outfielder is hot now, and as long as Milwaukee is giving him regular time in center field, his propensity to steal bases is something you want on your fantasy team.
