Can Schwarber shine all season? Is Altuve droppable? Don't be surprised

Summary

For fantasy managers, Kyle Schwarber of the Philadelphia Phillies may become a candidate for droppability due to his struggling performance this season, including a low batting average and high strikeout rate. Chris Sale from the Atlanta Braves is another player whose ERA has declined, though his BABIP could improve as he gets more run support. Javier Baez of the Detroit Tigers, despite having a decent May, shows signs of potential with lower power metrics but higher walk rates that may not justify his inclusion in fantasy lineups for an extended period. Owners should remain patient and consider rostering these players based on their evolving performances.
