J.P. Crawford (SS/3B, PHI) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Philadelphia Phillies infielder J.P. Crawford has been on a hot streak over the past week and change. Dating back to April 10th, Crawford has OPSed nearly 1.000 with three extra base hits and an equal number of strikeouts and walks.

He has his average off the interstate for the first time all season and is trending in the right direction. He still only has a .598 OPS for the season, but has hit two home runs and driven in five runs this season, all in a four-game stretch from April 10-14.

The former top-10 pick is dealing with a potential injury (he was struck by a foul ball on Wednesday), but fantasy owners have to like that he hit a career-best 15 home runs with Triple-A Lehigh Valley last season. Crawford has also gained third base eligibility this season and, if this power streak is real, the 23-year-old can be a nice bench piece for fantasy teams.
