BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed and AL-Only Leagues
Ownership: 11% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: With Brad Boxberger taking a few days to rest his ailing forearm earlier in the week, Jake McGee may have found the opportunity he needed to reclaim the Rays’ closer role he held in 2014. McGee locked down his first save of the year on Wednesday, June 10, pitching a scoreless inning vs. the Angels while allowing just one hit and racking up two strikeouts. McGee has been flawless this year since returning from an injury that sidelined him the first six weeks of the season, and it wouldn’t surprise us to see him hold the closer role the rest of the year. That makes him a great waiver wire pickup if he’s still available in your league. Just be aware that Boxberger, who was one of the most dominant closers in the majors through May, is now healthy and has made appearances in two straight days. The Rays are always unconventional, so it remains to be seen how this will shake out exactly. The wise owner would be rostering both of these players right now.
