Fantasy Impact:

Bautista could be a huge boost for fantasy owners in the stretch run for the playoffs, as the Blue Jays are in the hunt for the playoffs and he is their leadoff hitter. This will also boost the stock of such players as Josh Donaldson and Edwin Encarnacion, who will relish the opportunity to have the patient slugger at the top of the lineup.
