The Toronto Blue Jays and the red-hot Vladimir Guerrero Jr. top Todd Zola's weekly hitter rankings thanks to seven home games during the week of August 19-25.
The trade deadline has shaken up lineups around the league, with Jarred Kelenic tumbling down the Atlanta order.

Hilliard's time in Colorado came to an unceremonious end when the team traded him to Atlanta in November in exchange for Dylan Spain. The writing was already on the wall after the Rockies optioned him down for good in late August. Hilliard shaved eight percentage points off his strikeout rate from 2021 (to 28.5%) while increasing his walk rate to a career-high 11.5%, but those improvements did not matter as he struggled to a .184/.280/.264 line. Things got especially ugly on the road, with Hilliard slugging a mere .188 in his 81 plate appearances without the Coors bump. His batted-ball numbers are somewhat confounding as he had a Statcast HardHit% close to 50% but just a .370 xwOBACON. Atlanta will not be looking to make Hilliard a starter, but he will get to make his case for the Opening Day roster as a lefty-swinging, speedy reserve outfielder. As he heads into his age-29 season, Hilliard is now out of minor-league options.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to make Orioles' roster?
Hilliard "has an uphill climb" to make the Orioles' Opening Day roster, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Baltimore already has four other left-handed hitting outfielders in Cedric Mullins, Colton Cowser, Heston Kjerstad and Kyle Stowers that are either locks to make the team or possibly ahead of Hilliard in the pecking order. Hilliard is out of options, so he'll have to be traded or exposed to waivers if he doesn't break camp with the big club. The 29-year-old was claimed off waivers back in November.
