Recommended Pickup

Rafael Betancourt, RP, COL - With Huston Street landing on the 15-day DL, Betancourt slots in as the team's closer as Matt Lindstrom is also on the shelf. As the strong ratios -- 3.61 ERA, 1.08 WHIP -- and excellent 56:8 K:BB suggest, Betancourt is more than capable of handling the ninth-inning role for the Rockies as long as they need him. The interesting thing to consider here is that Colorado is out of the playoff hunt, which could lead them to handle Street with extra caution. Even if the absence is a short one, Betancourt should get a handful of saves over the next 10 days or so while Street is sidelined.

Other recent recommendations:J.D. Martinez, Robinson Chirinos, Kyle Blanks, Garrett Jones, Jose Altuve
