Alejandro Kirk rated a fantasy buy, Henry Bolte an add

Kirk owns a .980 OPS over the past month.

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Aug 251 min read

What happened: Alejandro Kirk carries a 12-game hitting streak into the final week of August. Henry Bolte has emerged as a speed option for fantasy rosters.

Why it matters: Late-season roster moves carry added weight as fantasy playoff fields take shape. Kirk is batting third and has drawn more walks than strikeouts during his surge.

By the numbers: Kirk's .980 OPS over the past month ranks ninth among qualified hitters. Bolte is batting .270 with six home runs and 14 stolen bases in 2026.

What to watch: Kirk's streak and Bolte's playing time will determine whether their late-August fantasy value holds.
