MLB.com fantasy expert Fred Zinkie fielded questions from fans during a live Twitter chat (@fantasy411) on Monday. Read through the best of the Q&A below. Questions and answers have been edited for clarity.
@PHDMAC: What should I do with Giancarlo Stanton?
Fred Zinkie: Leave him on your disabled list. You can't activate him until he is regularly starting games.
@ChrisRockford9: Should I drop A.J. Pollock for Kevin Kiermaier, Byron Buxton or Yasiel Puig?
Zinkie: Yes. You can't wait around at this point in the season. Pick up Kiermaier.
@rotologo: Should I start Cameron Rupp, Jorge Alfaro or Tom Murphy down the stretch? Also, should I hold onto Stephen Strasburg?
Zinkie: Start Rupp. And I think that you can safely drop Strasburg.
@MAS8823: Should I start or sit Danny Valencia this week amid rumors he could be released before season's end?
Zinkie: Assuming that he is normally part of your lineup, you should keep him there.
@JTlove11: Would you rather own Jake Odorizzi or José De León?
Zinkie: I would rather own De Leon for this week but Odorizzi for the rest of the season.
@Schara845: Should I play Welington Castillo or Salvador Perez at catcher this week? Both are slumping.
Zinkie: You should start Castillo. He has a favorable schedule.
@LyndonBryanton: Can I drop Pollock for Alex Bregman? If so, start Bregman over DJ LeMahieu this week?
Zinkie: You should add Bregman, but I would start LeMahieu for this week.
@KingLuke21: Aledmys Díaz just came off the disabled list. Should I switch him for either Jung Ho Kang or Mike Napoli?
Zinkie: Keep Diaz on your bench this week.
@juliantharmsen: Should I drop Lorenzo Cain for Yulieski Gurriel?
Zinkie: Yes, you can make that move. It is hard to envision Cain making a major impact down the stretch.
@albertmatos: Should I bench Tony Watson for Tyler Thornburg this week?
Zinkie: Go with Watson. He has eight games, and volume matters with closers.
@khendler6: Starling Marte hasn't swung a bat in a week. Should I start him, Kevin Pillar or Aaron Judge this week?
Zinkie: Start Pillar. Hard to know exactly when Marte will return.
@prolixERG: Who is a better keeper for next season: Trea Turner or Bregman?
Zinkie: I'll take Turner. His steals total could make him special. I really like Bregman as well.
@Hardbody73: Should I drop Brandon Kintzler for Hunter Strickland?
Zinkie: I worry that the Giants will share save chances. Stick with Kintzler.
@THEJoPo1983: Should I sit Carlos Martínez against the Cubs for either Seth Lugo or Chad Bettis?
Zinkie: I would strongly consider Lugo against the Twins.
@prattin: Please rank Dylan Bundy, De Leon and Julio Urías as two-start pitchers for this week only.
Zinkie: De Leon, Urias, Bundy.
@2Stickss: Should I drop Pollock for José Peraza, Michael Saunders, Carlos Gómez, Miguel Sanó or Melvin Upton Jr.?
Zinkie: Drop him for Peraza.
@lambo1332: Who should I choose as a keeper next year between Andrew Benintendi or Edwin Díaz?
Zinkie: It's hard to keep a closer, but I would keep Diaz anyway. His strikeout rate is special.
@carlospudge: Do you still trust Watson this week? It looks like he may get ample save chances.
Zinkie: There is definitely cause for concern. But if you are stuck for saves, you likely need to use him.
@Pat_DeCola: Is it worth starting Stanton in any scenario?
Zinkie: The only scenario I can see is an NL-only league.
@SportsCreep31: Will David Phelps pitch this week?
Zinkie: My guess is that he will pitch this week. But I don't have anything official.
