- Scott White published a Week 22 (Aug. 17-23) fantasy baseball sleeper hitters preview naming 10 bats rostered in less than 80 percent of CBS Sports leagues, with Steven Kwan and Zack Gelof featured.
- The Cleveland Guardians topped the best Week 22 hitter matchup rankings with three home games vs. San Francisco and three at Colorado — a full six-game slate.
- The Cincinnati Reds ranked second in Week 22 hitter matchups with five games vs. St. Louis and three at Arizona, totaling eight scheduled games.
- The Toronto Blue Jays landed in the worst Week 22 hitter matchup slot, facing three games at Tampa Bay and three at the Yankees — six road games against contending pitching.
- CBS Sports ran the hitters piece alongside two companion Week 22 previews the same day: a sleeper pitchers list headlined by Dustin May and Luis Castillo, and a two-start pitcher rankings piece highlighting Kyle Leahy and Jose Soriano.
Why it matters: Fantasy managers in CBS Sports leagues can stream under-rostered bats like Steven Kwan and Zack Gelof into Week 22 lineups by exploiting the Guardians' six-game homestand against San Francisco and Colorado, while benching Blue Jays and Giants hitters who face six-game road slates against playoff contenders between Aug. 17-23.
