Cameron Maybin (CF)
Detroit Tigers
Here is another centerfielder to possibly take a waiver wire look at in the Detroit Tigers’ Cameron Maybin, who is currently on a six-game hitting streak in games against the Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees.
For the month of June, Maybin is batting .381 with eight hits and five runs, with one of those hits being a double. He’s also added two RBI and three steals in June. Maybin has built those aforementioned numbers in just 21 at-bats this month.
Though he’s had a a stint on the disabled list this season, for the year he’s batting .414 with a .474 slugging percentage and .486 on-base percentage in just 19 games thus far. In his past seven games Maybin is batting .333 with five runs, one double, 10 total bases, two RBI and three walks.
Also in those same seven games his OBP is .333 as Maybin and his Detroit teammates helped sweep the White Sox over the weekend. They are in the thick of things in a very close AL Central, so playing in meaningful games in early June for positioning within the division could help add more to Maybin’s game.
That means his 57.6 percent ownership on fantasy rosters will most likely rise within the near future.
