What happened: NBC Sports reports Cole Carrigg and Reid Detmers are positioned to gain fantasy value at the MLB trade deadline. The approaching deadline presents an opportunity for both players to enter more favorable situations.

Why it matters: Carrigg could see a permanent path to regular playing time in the outfield if deals clear the roster ahead of him. Detmers is drawing trade interest, and a move to a legitimate contender would likely improve his chances for wins.

By the numbers: Detmers holds a 4.16 ERA and 1.116 WHIP with 130 strikeouts through his first 20 starts this season. Carrigg has recorded four home runs and multiple stolen bases during his rookie campaign.

What to watch: Fantasy managers will monitor transaction wires to see if either player is moved or elevated.
