Ruggiano is doing almost everything he did in last year's breakout season. He is hitting home runs slightly ahead of last season's pace and is producing runs at roughly the same clip, even though the Marlins have the lowest-scoring offense in the majors by far. Even Ruggiano's five steals don't put him too far off his 2012 course.

The big difference between this year and last is Ruggiano's batting average on ground balls. Last season, he hit .364 on grounders, which he was going to be hard pressed to repeat, but he's overdone the regression with a .140 ground ball batting averge this year. Ruggiano will eventually find the happy medium and produce enough to be relevant in 14-team mixed leagues and deeper formats.

Gibson took a no-hitter into the eighth inning of his last start Sunday against Lehigh Valley. He finished with his second complete-game shutout in his last three starts and would be on regular rest to start Friday.

Davis has been in a season-long slump, and is hitting just .156/.238/.259 in 135 at-bats. Davis had still been hitting high in the order against righties, and was demoted to seventh against lefties. Cueto is a tough matchup for good left-handed hitters, so it will be challenging for Davis to break out of his slump. 

Hernandez allowed three earned runs on nine hits and a walk in 4 1/3 innings Sunday against the Red Sox. He is 2-1 with a 5.85 ERA through eight outings (six starts).

But Cingrani went 2-0 with a 3.27 ERA and 1.03 WHIP in 33 innings over six starts, striking out 41. He proved that he could pitch at the major-league level, even though he allowed a relatively high seven home runs. And although there isn't a role for Cingrani in the rotation now, he's going to get another shot this season, whether through injury or implosion. 

I'm not going overboard with my holding/adding of Cingrani, but if a roster allows for him to be kept over, say, a bench bat that will never see the light of day, or a John Axford-type fingers-crossed closer gambit -- I'm going with Cingrani. There may come a point where he has to be moved to make room for a necessary addition, but owners should hold on to him for as long as possible, as a return to the majors will mean big things in ERA, WHIP and strikeouts. 

McCann is starting to get back to regular playing time after coming back from a shoulder injury. McCann will be replaced by Gerald Laird, who will hit fifth against the Twins. McCann should return to face Mike Pelfrey Tuesday.

While Straily is due to strand a higher proportion of runners going forward, there may not be much hope for him to reduce a 4.2 BB/9 rate that has also put a damper on his value. The Athletics rookie has walked 22 batters in 26 career innings against lefties. He uses his changeup much more frequently against lefties, but he hasn't commanded the pitch well.

While Straily can continue to provide strikeouts, he'll be like a right-handed Felix Doubront -- too wild to provide any real benefit from his high K-rate. He's worth stashing in deeper leagues in the event that he resolves this issue, but there aren't signs of Straily turning his season around in the immediate future.

Cozart is hitting .206/.233/.338 in 160 at-bats. He has been hitting second for the Reds most of the season. With Shin-Soo Choo also out, the Reds will go with a different 1-2 punch at the top of the order. Cesar Izturis will replace Cozart, and hit second.
