The players in these two sections were the statistical leaders during the last week. Batting averages are based on 20 at-bats, and ERA and WHIP on seven innings pitched. In most cases, we eliminate batters with an average lower than .280 and pitchers with ERAs above 4.00 from the Hot list.

RHP Vicente Padilla, Rangers 15.0 0.60 1-0 0.60 5:7
Baker was on the Not list last week. Baker and Sabathia each lost two games last week. And this was one of Greinke’s poorest weeks this season, with his only loss.

OF Ryan Spilborghs, Rockies 3-20 .150 0-1 1
OF J.D. Drew, Red Sox 3-20 .150 1-3 0
The Pirates’ losing streak should be little surprise when you see two of last week’s three lowest batting averages by Pittsburgh players at power positions. Moss finished the week in an 0-for-14 rut.
This week’s hitless wonders are Tigers C Gerald Laird (0-for-16) and Giants 1B Travis Ishikawa (0-for-10).
Caught stealing – Marlins 3B/2B Emilio Bonifacio 0-for-3; Orioles OF Adam Jones, Reds 2B Brandon Phillips, Indians OF Grady Sizemore and Rockies SS Troy Tulowitzki 0-for-2.
Walk/strikeout ratio (10 or more strikeouts) – Rangers 1B/3B Chris Davis 1:12; Rangers OF Nelson Cruz 1:10; Mariners 1B/3B Russell Branyan and Yankees 1B Mark Teixeira 2:10; D-backs 3B Mark Reynolds 3:12; Schaefer and Nationals OF/1B Adam Dunn 4:12; Swisher 5:12; Rays 1B Carlos Pena 5:13.
The pitchers on the next list each made two starts, doubly damaging their fantasy teams.
