Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Jake Diekman pitched a clean eighth innings to earn a hold versus the Royals on Sunday.

Daniel Bard (RP, COL) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 46% of leagues ANALYSIS: Just pick up Daniel Bard.

Jose Alvarado's Control Makes Him Hard To Trust

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Jose Alvarado is one of the best relievers in baseball when he's on, but bouts with wildness make the flame-thrower difficult to rely on in fantasy.
