At RotoBaller HQ, we help you get ready for September with our updated top 100 hitters and pitchers list for Week 22--August 25 through August 31 to help fantasy managers stay on top of the waiver wire in leagues that allow daily moves.
There are key performances, prospect promotions, and injuries to watch for this week. New York Mets right-hander Nolan McLean continues to impress. The 24-year-old is (3-0) with a 0.89 ERA, 0.69 WHIP, and 21 strikeouts over his first three starts. The Mets also recently called up top pitching prospect Jonah Tong from Triple-A Syracuse, and he will make his debut on Friday against the Marlins. Milwaukee Brewers closer Trevor Megill was placed on the injured list with a Grade 1 flexor tendon strain.
