Fantasy Baseball: George Springer among MLB players in line for a second-half surge

Sure, things may seem bleak right now, but many players are going to experience massive upticks in their production during the second half of the campaign. Goldschmidt was 33 at the start of last season's second half, and he was on the downside of his career after several years near the top of the fantasy landscape. Last year, he rose above the rubble of a retooling Nats lineup to present his case as baseball's best hitter in the second half. Blue Jays reliever Jordan Romano reached the 2021 All-Star break with just seven saves before ranking third in baseball with 16 saves in the second half. He could become the full-time closer in the second half and rank among the saves leaders.
