11% – Zack Cozart – CIN
Where players like Nunez and Diaz are also eligible at SS and should be on your radar, so too should Cincinnati’s Zack Cozart.
The now 30-year-old got off to a fashionable start in 2015 before slipping on first base in early June, resulting in torn tendons in his bicep and ligaments in his knee. Cozart is looking to rebound now and is doing a nice job of it, hitting .400 through his first 13 games with a home run and six doubles.
Long a position thin on offensive talent for fantasy baseball managers, guys like Carlos Correa, Corey Seager, Francisco Lindor, Xander Bogaerts and now Trevor Story are looking to buck that trend. If you’re desperate for help at the position, Cozart is worth snagging for the time being. He already has five multi-hit games this season.
