Morrison can help you the rest of the way

All it took was 10 days for Marlins outfielder Logan Morrison to learn his lesson. The Marlins sent Morrison to the minor leagues two weeks ago because he needed to "concentrate on all aspects of being a major-leaguer," or maybe it was the failure to show up to a team function. I'm sure it had nothing to do with him being honest with the media and his incessant tweeting.

After all, he was second on the team in home runs when he was demoted. At Triple-A, Morrison went 4-for-24 with one home run, two doubles and five RBIs. Whatever the real reasons were for his demotion, Morrison is back with the Marlins and batted third Wednesday.

Morrison can help fantasy teams the rest of the way. He's batting just .249, but he profiles to be better. He has 18 home runs and 61 RBIs and leads the players to acquire off the waiver wire.

Kyle Blanks (Padres, OF): After a slow start in July upon his return from the minor leagues, Blanks has heated up. He strikes out often, so don't expect the high average to continue, but he has legit power. Blanks is batting .316 with six home runs, 18 RBIs, 14 runs, five doubles and one triple in 76 at-bats this month.

Lucas Duda (Mets, 1B/OF): It has taken some time for his power to emerge. He had no home runs in 96 at-bats before the All-Star break. Since he's batting .321 with seven home runs, 24 RBIs, 15 runs and a .996 OPS.

Eric Young Jr. (Rockies, OF/2B): Stolen bases is a category you can move up quickly this time of season. Young can help. Since the All-Star break in 79 at-bats, Young has a .385 on-base percentage and 15 walks with just 11 strikeouts, stealing 12 bases in 14 attempts.

Rich Harden (Athletics, SP): He's coming off a poor start, but it came against the Yankees. Harden has a 66/25 K/BB ratio in 57 1/3 innings, but has been hurt by allowing 10 home runs. He has a two-start week with starts at Cleveland and home to Seattle.

Brandon Allen (Athletics, 1B): The A's are finally playing Allen. He hit a monstrous home run into the third deck at Yankee Stadium this week. He is batting .357 with two home runs and five RBIs in 42 at-bats in August.

John Mayberry (Phillies, OF): It's going to be difficult to take him out of the lineup. He's getting more time with Raul Ibañez bothered by a sore groin. Mayberry is batting .311 with seven home runs, 22 RBIs, 12 runs and a 1.022 OPS in 74 at-bats since the All-Star break.

Kyle Seager (Mariners, 3B): He is one of the hottest hitters, going 15-for-25 on a recent six-game road trip and is batting .379 with two home runs and five RBIs this month. It won't last, so ride the hot streak and move on.
