Cleveland Guardians first baseman/outfielder C.J. Kayfus hit his second homer in the majors on Monday night to help the Guardians claim a 3-1 victory in their series opener against the Diamondbacks. Kayfus started the scoring with his home run off Zac Gallen in the second inning and finished the game 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored, and an RBI. Kayfus is hitting .239 with his two homers, two stolen bases, and a .319 wOBA in his 15 games in the majors. Before his promotion, he hit .300 in 86 games in the minors, totaling 14 homers, four stolen bases, and a .408 wOBA between Double-A and Triple-A. The 23-year-old has been splitting time between first base and the outfield and is looking to establish himself as a key part of the Guardians' young core going forward. He has decent power upside and a little speed, and he could emerge as a strong mixed league pickup if he keeps trending up down the stretch.

Cleveland Guardians first base/outfield prospect C.J. Kayfus enjoyed a breakout game on Friday evening. Facing the White Sox, Kayfus went 2-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI. In the opening frame, the recently-promoted prospect hit a bases-clearing double which scored Kyle Manzardo, Carlos Santana, and Bo Naylor. This was his second straight game in the majors, tallying at least two hits, and his third consecutive game tallying at least one hit. Overall, through his first six games in Cleveland, Kayfus has held his own, posting a .300/.300/.450 line with three doubles. Earlier in the season, Kayfus flashed high upside at Triple-A, slashing a .283/.367/.528 line with an .893 OPS. Given that he is finding his footing and seeing every day opportunities, he is worth adding in all 12+ team formats this weekend.
