Fernando Tatis Jr., Jurickson Profar, Jorge Mateo Placed On IL

The San Diego Padres placed shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. and utilitymen Jurickson Profar and Jorge Mateo on the IL Tuesday due to health and safety protocols.

Willie Calhoun (OF, TEX) - Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 21% of leagues ANALYSIS: The fantasy community seemed to have completely written off Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun after an abysmal 2020 season where he slashed .190/.231/.260 with just one home run, 13 RBI and three runs over 29 games. That appears to have been a big mistake. […]
