Maybin went 2-for-3 and also walked twice in the Tigers 9-5 win versus Cleveland.
Fantasy Impact: In his last 15 games, Maybin has gone 11-for-54, batting .204 in that span. He has done a nice job in the number two spot in the Tigers lineup batting .310 this season with 15 stolen bases but does not provide much power with only three home runs this year.

Fantasy Impact: Maybin has been sidelined since Aug. 3 due to the injury, and the team finally decided to give him an extended stretch off to fully recover. He's been solid for the Tigers since returning from a previous injury, but ailments have limited him to 63 games on the season.

Fantasy Impact: Further tests showed no structural damage and the fact Maybin was available to pinch run is a good sign he shouldn't miss any significant time. Maybin has been an absolute spark plug for the Tigers as they just ended an eight-game win streak. Hold onto Maybin for further news, as he is too valuable to drop in fantasy leagues.

Maybin recorded a single in Sunday's matchup with the Astros and was hit by a pitch in the seventh inning in response to a George Springer bean ball earlier that inning. Maybin would later steal second and score off of Miggy's home run.
Fantasy Impact: Cameron Maybin now has 13 stolen bases on the year to go along with a .329 batting average and a .790 OPS. He usually hits in the number two spot, sandwiched between Kinsler and Cabrera.

Fantasy Impact: There seems to be some improvement, so it looks like Maybin could avoid a trip to the DL. Still, it's hard to tell with side injuries as they can always flare up. Maybin has cooled considerably since his red-hot start, but he's still been useful hitting near the top of the Tigers' order, posting an impressive OBP of .388 with 10 stolen bases and 34 runs scored in just over 200 at-bats.

Maybin went 1-for-4 with a double and two walks in the Tigers 7-5 win against the White Sox.
Fantasy Impact: Maybin has struggled lately batting .218 with 10 strikeouts in his last 15 games. He is batting .322 this season in 55 games this season for the Tigers but a regression in his batting average was likely since he is a career .256 hitter.

Fantasy Impact: Maybin has a .359 batting average in 39 games this season, stealing eight bases as well at the top of the Tigers' lineup. He only has six extra-base hits in 145 at-bats this season, which is why his slugging percentage is a relatively low .428, but he now has a double in three of his last five games and five of his 20 RBI this season have come in the last two games.

Fantasy Impact: Maybin is hitting over .500 in his seven games since being activated from the disabled list. He's done a little bit of everything with a home run and four stolen bases in that span. He comes with a solid pedigree and performed well last season with the Braves, so there's reason for optimism moving forward, especially considering the lineup he'll be hitting in.

The Tigers have activated OF Cameron Maybin from the disabled list.
Fantasy Impact: It will be interesting to see how Maybin's return impacts the Tigers' OF situation. With Justin Upton struggling to start the season, the team recently recalled Steven Moya from the minors. While Moya is limited defensively, he's been hitting since his call-up. Owners will want to monitor the situation to see who will be receiving regular playing time moving forward.

Tigers OF Cameron Maybin has played 19 games with the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens so far this season, rehabbing a sore shoulder and broken wrist. He's batting .211 with four stolen bases, but has struck out 15 times in 71 at-bats.
Fantasy Impact: Based on those stats, not all is right with Maybin, and it seems like Detroit wants to keep him in Toledo until he's fully healthy and has his timing back. That being said, 19 games sure is a lot for a rehab assignment.

Fantasy Impact: With Tyler Collins in place as the left fielder for the Tigers, Maybin could be the veteran presence that unseats the young outfielder. Maybin had a career-high 10 home runs for the Braves in 2015 and topped 30 extra base hits for the third time of his career. He has stolen at least 23 bases in each season that he has started and, in tandem with Anthony Gose, could give the Tigers one of the faster outfield tandems in baseball.

Cameron Maybin has been pinch-hitting over the last few games, but he's expected to return to the starting lineup Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Maybin's bat has been consistent in August as he's hitting .292 for the month. Owners should continue to plug in Maybin as an all-around threat on the bases and consistent OF option. He is one of the lone relevant fantasy options for the Braves.

Maybin went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored, and his 19th stolen base of the year.
Fantasy Impact: Maybin's all-around game has provided fantasy owners with lots of value this year. He is hitting .280 with ten HRs, 52 RBIs and a .340 OBP, all career-highs. Maybin still has sneaky DFS value as he is in a lower tier of outfielders price-wise.

Fantasy Impact: Maybin's 49th and 50th RBIs proved to be the game winners as he continues to be an outstanding all-around outfielder and brilliant offseason pickup. He could present some sneaky DFS value in the coming week as he heads back to San Diego to take on his former team.

Fantasy Impact: Maybin is posting career-best walk and strikeout rates, as well as his best power numbers since 2011. He seems like a prime candidate to be flipped by the Braves before the trading deadline. Stay posted as a five-game losing streak leading into the break certainly will tip the scales in favor of trading Maybin.
Maybin's eighth HR of the year was not enough as the Braves lost 6-5 to the Brewers.
Fantasy Impact: Maybin's first half numbers are impressive considering the Padres basically had given up on him. He is now one HR short of his career high and could be actively shopped by the Braves near the trade deadline.

Other MLB teams get the sense that the Atlanta Braves are willing to shop CF Cameron Maybin, according to Buster Olney of ESPN. (Source: Buster Olney on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Maybin is experiencing a resurgence in Atlanta. Considering his production in 2015, pedigree and the fact that the Braves are still somewhat in contention would seem to indicate Atlanta isn't sold on Maybin's hot first half. To this point Maybin has hit .294/.363.416 with seven homers, 39 RBI and 15 steals.

Maybin hit a high chopper over third base to drive in the winning run in the bottom of the ninth against Nationals ace Max Scherzer Thursday night. Maybin helped the Braves win their second straight to earn a rare series victory over NL East-leading Washington.

Fantasy Impact: Maybin has been consistently locked in the two hole in Fredi Gonzalez's lineup card. His OBP is now at .358 on the year and should get a boost in value once 1B Freddie Freeman returns from the DL late next week. He is a cheap DFS option for those looking to buy an OF low.

He's still only 28 years old and with the green light on the base paths, Maybin has stolen more bases (nine) this year than his two previous in San Diego combined.

Maybin went 3-for-5 with an RBI, a stolen base, and a run scored in the Braves' loss to Pittsburgh on Friday night.
Fantasy Impact: Batting leadoff, Maybin has started to flash the all-around game and provide meaningful fantasy relevance. Maybin has had multiple hits in four out of the last five games he's played. His numbers for 2015 have provided on-base ability (.360 OBP), power (five homers), and speed (eight steals) while giving the Braves a quality defender in center field.

Against Arizona Wednesday, Maybin went 3-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored. (Source: ESPN)
Fantasy Impact: Maybin had taken the two previous games off due to a groin issue that affected his range in center. However, he looked healthy lining three singles and nearly threw out a runner at home during the D'backs go-ahead run in the seventh. Expect Maybin to take over the majority of centerfield duties in Atlanta. However, he's not of much fantasy use outside of NL-only and deep leagues. His lack of power and extra base hits are his biggest knock.

The Braves really want Maybin to produce enough at the plate so they can make him their primary CF. He has started producing a bit more lately and has raised his batting average to .238, which is still not close to what the team needs but he raised it from a low of .188, or close to that.
Fantasy Impact: Maybin should be added to watch lists simply for the at-bats the Braves plan for him. If he gets hot then you can act. Just understand that Maybin has historically hit for less-than average.

He also walked twice. If Maybin can get settled at the plate and become a consistent hitter the Braves will hand him the CF job. Right now he is below the Mendoza line at a paltry .175 batting average.
Fantasy Impact: He has no value in fantasy at this time but if he starts to produce he will get regular playing time in CF. Even then, his value will be low, given his historical numbers.

His new found power is nice but he carries a .147/.216/.412 slash line with 12 strikeouts in 34 at-bats. He was 1-for-5 in the game tonight, with two strikeouts.

Maybin is off to a slow start, although this was his second home run of the season. If he can produce, the Braves would like him to be their primary center fielder.

Category: , Game Recaps
Maybin led off the game with the home run and ended up going 1-for-5. Maybin is set to get in more time at the CF slot with Eric Young possibly sliding over to left.

Maybin goes 1-2 with a walk and a stolen base.
Fantasy Impact: Looks like Bub Black read my post and let Maybin play center and lead off in the spring opener. His first time up Maybin got a hit and then stole second. It was a good start for Maybin. Ok I understand that Myers did not play today, but Bud gave Maybin the chance. It's good thing to keep an eye on. If Maybin can get the chance he could be a good sleeper.

With all the new players on the Padres Maybin has become the odd man out. Maybin is quoted as saying “I feel like I’m the best option as a center fielder” Right now the outfield looks to be Kemp, Upton and playing center Wil Myers. (Source: Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com)
Fantasy Impact: After a good year in 2011, Maybin has been a big disappointment. One good reason he is always getting hurt. Maybin can steal bases (40 in 2011) , something the Padres can use now that Everth Cabrera is gone. His speed also makes him a good center fielder. Look and see how things shape up in spring training. As I said in my post about Yonder Alonso, the Padres first base situation is not so good. I would not be surprised if Wil Myers or Kemp moves to first base and Maybin takes the outfield job back. If that happens a late round pick on Maybin would be a smart move.
