UP

Chase Utley, 2B, Phillies: It took him awhile to get going, but Utley is now playing like the top second baseman. He's 11-for-20 (.550) with eight extra-base hits, two homers and 10 RBIs in his last five games. Overall, Utley is hitting .296 with four homers and 16 RBIs.

J.J. Hardy, SS, Brewers: Milwaukee's shortstop has homered five times and driven in 10 runs in his last seven games. On the season, he's hitting .279 with six homers and 14 RBIs, making him the seventh-ranked fantasy shortstop this season.

Rich Hill, SP, Cubs: The 27 year old is coming into his own with a 3-1 record and 1.57 ERA in four starts. He's thrown into the seventh inning in every outing and has struck out 23.

DOWN

David Wright, 3B, Mets: New York's third baseman is 2-for-21 (.095) in his last six games. Wright is still looking for his first home run. He has as many strikeouts as hits (20), has driven in just four runs and is batting .263.

Jermaine Dye, OF, White Sox: After a monster '06, Dye is off to a slow start this season, batting .209 through 18 games. He's still driven in 12 runs, but has struck out 19 times in 67 at-bats.

Jered Weaver, SP, Angels: The 24 year old was hit hard in his last start against the Tigers. Weaver allowed seven hits and five earned runs in 1 2/3 innings. In his only other start, Weaver gave up three earned runs in six innings. He has as many losses (two) as he had in 19 starts last season.
