​Robinson Cano, 2B, Seattle Mariners

Robinson Cano still appears to be working back up to speed after a lengthy PED suspension, with the veteran second baseman compiling a forgettable .260/.305/.390 slash line in 82 plate appearances since his return in mid-August.

Cano's pedestrian .130 isolated slugging (ISO) masks some solid peripheral stats, though. The Seattle Mariners infielder has combined a 34.8% hard-hit rate and 22.7% line-drive rate with a negligible 9.1% soft contact mark, plus a 7.1% strikeout-minus-walk rate that suggests he's still got his trademark control of the strike zone.

Considering Cano's excellent .224 ISO against righties over the past three seasons, the 35-year-old infielder could have a big week ahead against Alex Cobb, Andrew Cashner, and Lance Lynn. Treat the Mariners' second baseman as a worthy mid-priced option so long as his FanDuel salary hovers in the high $3,000s.
