Jose Bautista is back!

Or at least he will be Monday. Or at least that's the plan. Of course, he'll probably be rusty after missing six weeks with turf toe, but you don't sit a player of his caliber, particularly at a position of need, when he's in line to play a full week.

Ryan Zimmerman, who's recovering from a rib cage strain, should also get a full week of action, but that's actually a net loss for Fantasy owners, who have finally gotten to enjoy a little of Trea Turner, with David Murphy shifting over to Zimmerman's spot. Turner hasn't been a world-beater or anything, but nobody missed the numbers Zimmerman was putting up.

Good news for Michael Saunders owners. With the Blue Jays scheduled to face nothing but right-handers -- and mostly bottom-of-the-barrel ones like Colin Rea and Yovani Gallardo -- the 29-year-old should play every game, even with the return of Bautista. Toronto probably has the sixth-best matchups of any team this week, which also gives Devon Travis, Russell Martin and Kevin Pillar some sleeper appeal.

And with that, on to the matchups ...

Best hitter matchups for Week 17

1. Royals LAA3, @TEX4
2. Phillies @MIA3, @ATL4
3. Cubs @CHW2, CHW2, SEA3
4. Reds @SF3, @SD3
5. Red Sox DET3, @LAA4

Maybe this is the week Kendrys Morales gets back on track. He was unstoppable for about a three-week stretch before the All-Star break but is 7 for 39 (.179) with no extra-base hits in his last 11 games. You know he'll get the at-bats, and Tim Lincecum, A.J. Griffin, Kyle Lohse and Martin Perez seem like good pitchers to tee off on. Want someone who isn't ice cold? Cheslor Cuthbert is riding a 10-game hitting streak and is shaping up to be sort of a poor man's Maikel Franco.

You're already starting Franco, right? At least for matchups like this week's, it's justified. Odubel Herrera's start percentage has fallen as his on-base percentage has normalized, but he shouldn't be overlooked as a contact hitter with modest power, especially going against some of the worst the Marlins and Braves have to offer. The real prize here, though, is Tommy Joseph, who's splitting time with Ryan Howard at first base but isn't getting any fewer at-bats than the average catcher-eligible player. He's like what Evan Gattis is supposed to be, having homered 13 times in 167 at-bats.

The Cubs and Red Sox lineups are both so deep that they're not normally places you'd look for sleepers, but I'll give you one from each. Javier Baez doesn't quite play every day, but in a week when the Cubs are facing three left-handers, he should come close. He's batting .348 with three homers and four steals in his last 19 games and .375 with a 1.062 OPS against lefties overall. Meanwhile, Brock Holt is back to playing to every day and is riding a 10-game hitting streak in which he's batting .353 (12 for 34) with two homers and five doubles. Both are triple-eligible. Either could be of use to just about anyone.

The Reds have no shortage of sleepers in weeks when the matchups are right, and even though they're playing just six games, pitchers like Matt Cain, Edwin Jackson, Christian Friedrich and Colin Rea make for some right matchups. Adam Duvall is still widely started, but this slate gives you reason to hold out another week if you're disenchanted by his recent cold streak. Zack Cozart still doesn't get enough credit for the year he's having, and believe it or not, Billy Hamilton is kind of a hot-hand play right now, batting .289 (13 for 45) with eight steals in his last 11 games.

Worst hitter matchups for Week 17

1. Mariners @PIT2, @CHC3
2. Nationals @CLE2, @SF4
3. Angels @KC3, BOS4
4. Athletics @TEX3, @CLE3
5. Indians WAS2, OAK3

Of the five teams playing only five games, the Mariners have far and away the worst matchups, if only because of that Cubs series. And hey, they'll be without the DH spot all week, which spoils the Seth Smith/Franklin Gutierrez platoon. Robinson Cano, Nelson Cruz and Kyle Seager are too high-end to consider sitting, even with the light schedule, but everyone else is a no-go in standard mixed leagues.

Again, now wouldn't be the time to buy into Trea Turner, not with Ryan Zimmerman coming off the DL, which isn't to say you'd want to start Zimmerman with these matchups. Against two ace-heavy starting rotations, your must-start Nationals are about the only Nationals you should be using, which limits it to Bryce Harper, Daniel Murphy and Wilson Ramos in standard mixed leagues.

The worst matchups are a little more condemning than usual this week, so you'll want to be selective even with the fourth team down, the Athletics. Marcus Semien and Josh Reddick are two of the more underutilized players in Fantasy right now, and these matchups don't necessarily change that. Trevor Bauer and Josh Tomlin, while good pitchers, aren't without their flaws and will imploded from time to time. That said, neither Semien nor Reddick should be a priority right now, and the same goes for Khris Davis, at least in three-outfielder leagues.

The Indians are facing Stephen Strasburg in one of their five games, which is enough to set them apart from the remaining three teams playing only five games. They'll face a couple pitchers they can hit pretty hard in that Athletics series, but fringies like Tyler Naquin, Jose Ramirez and even Mike Napoli could really suffer from a lack of volume. You know Jason Kipnis is starting every game, though, and as hot as he is right now, I couldn't imagine sitting him. Francisco Lindor and Carlos Santana should go without saying.
