Esteury Ruiz named top fantasy baseball target as Blue Jays struggle

Esteury Ruiz stands out in the latest fantasy baseball steals report amid the Blue Jays' difficulties in preventing stolen bases. With 28 stolen bases this season, Ruiz has emerged as a prime addition for teams seeking speed, particularly following a recent injury to Kyle Stowers. The Blue Jays have allowed 12 steals in a week, continuing a season-long trend of vulnerability on the bases. For this week, base stealers facing Toronto, such as Spencer Jones, Cedric Mullins, and Johnny DeLuca, are expected to excel due to the team's weaknesses in holding runners. The report emphasizes that a focus on players with speed against the Blue Jays can be beneficial going forward.
