With one week of games under our belts, two teams maximized results with platoon bats. Many felt Sean Murphy would benefit moving to Atlanta, but Travis d'Arnaud has been the main beneficiary in terms of playing time. Where Alec Bohm settles in the lineup may determine his fantasy ceiling this season.

As the regular season winds down, three rookies may be settling into spots in the lineup, but are they optimal?

With time running out for making an impact in the standings, next week features one team playing nine games and four with eight. Targeting players in line for an uptick in playing time may help one accrue precious counting statistics, or a sneaky batting average addition in the next scoring period.

With eyes on 2023, Adley Rutschman has settled into the second spot in the Orioles lineup; Oneil Cruz bumps into the lead-off spot, and Gavin Sheets rides his hot streak into the heart of the batting order.

Although next week's focus could be on some much-anticipated promotions, Nathaniel Lowe has settled into third in the Rangers lineup. Lars Nootbaar continues leading off against right-handed pitching, and Harold Ramírez splits time between hitting third or fourth for the Rays.

For those seeking speed, Jake McCarthy could be a stealth addition and he's moving up in the lineup. A.J. Pollock's back at leadoff for the White Sox and Bryson Stott may hit first when Kyle Schwarber returns.

Right now, MJ Melendez has assumed the top spot in the Royals lineup against right-handed pitching. Should he be doing it full-time? Tommy Pham's settled in atop the Red Sox lineup over the last four games. With many fantasy teams searching for power, could Joey Meneses move into cleanup for Washington?

With the trade deadline passing, some players may receive new spots in the lineup. Last week focused on hitters taking over at leadoff, this week looks at three hitters with a chance at more RBI hitting in the heart of the batting order.

Post-hype prospect Leody Taveras keeps raking, and it's helped him move up in the Rangers lineup. Can he get closer to lead-off as the season progresses? Victor Robles may get another chance at hitting first and getting fantasy players interested in his speed. Arizona's sharing the top spot in the batting order, but it still enhances each player's value.

A rare Rockies hitter doing better on the road than at home could be taking over the second spot in the lineup. Josh H. Smith getting run at leadoff for the Rangers and does Gallo need a trade to escape hitting ninth?

Detroit's putting their best prospect atop the lineup, Oakland showcasing Ramón Laureano hitting second and Jarren Duran running with the lead-off spot in Boston.
