Closers and Saves Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Report for Week 11 (2025)
School's out for summer (in most places, I still have another week of teaching before sweet freedom), and baseball season is completely, totally, and thoroughly in full swing. Big bullpen news this week with injuries falling upon one of baseball's best, and confusion and almost predictable chaos around the rest of the league. A formerly […]
Porter Hodge Throws Bullpen on Saturday
Chicago Cubs right-handed pitcher Porter Hodge (oblique/hip) completed another bullpen session on Saturday. Hodge threw 30 pitches. Hodge was also able to complete a session earlier this week on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he could be nearing a rehab assignment, as he has yet to face any setbacks following […]
Forrest Whitley Designated for Assignment
The Houston Astros have designated right-handed pitcher Forrest Whitley for assignment. This transaction opened a spot on the roster for left-handed pitcher Brandon Walker, who is slated to start Sunday's contest against the Cleveland Guardians. Whitley has dealt with injuries this season and has only logged 7 1/3 innings of work. During this brief stint, […]
Danny Coulombe Returns From Injured List
The Minnesota Twins have activated left-handed pitcher Danny Coulombe (forearm) from the 15-day injured list before Sunday's contest against the Toronto Blue Jays. In a corresponding move, the Twins placed right-handed pitcher Zebby Matthews (shoulder) on the 15-day IL. Coulombe has been held out of action since May 18. Before the injury, the southpaw was […]
Ian Seymour Called Up from Triple-A Durham
Tampa Bay Rays pitching prospect Ian Seymour has been called up from Triple-A Durham in order to provide some relief to a heavily taxed bullpen. The Rays' 19th-ranked prospect is a logical option due to the fact that he is already on the 40-man roster, and although he has been working as a starter in […]
Dodgers Activate Kirby Yates, Michael Kopech
The Dodgers announced that they have activated right-handed relievers Kirby Yates (hamstring) and Michael Kopech (shoulder) from the injured list. In other moves, the team designated righty Chris Stratton for assignment and placed RHP Tony Gonsolin (elbow) on the 15-day IL with discomfort in his pitching elbow.

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Analysis: Buyer Beware for Week 11? (2025)
Welcome back to another edition of our Buyer Beware series, in which we apply a skeptical eye to a few popular waiver wire names each week. This iteration is highlighted by Royals slugging first baseman Jac Caglianone, who many believe could receive the biggest FAAB bids of the year. I have complained about the dearth […]
Craig Kimbrel Designated for Assignment
The Atlanta Braves announced on Saturday that they designated right-handed reliever Craig Kimbrel for assignment and recalled left-hander Austin Cox from the minors in a corresponding move. Well, that didn't last long. The Braves shook up their bullpen after a meltdown in Thursday's loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks and brought Kimbrel back to the big […]
Luke Weaver Receives PRP Injection, Resumes Throwing
New York Yankees reliever Luke Weaver (hamstring) has received a PRP injection in his strained left hamstring. The 31-year-old is currently on the 15-day IL with the injury, but has also resumed his throwing program, so hopefully he's able to be on the short end of the original 4-6 week timeline that was provided. The […]
Braves Place Daysbel Hernandez on 15-Day Injured List With Forearm Inflammation
The Atlanta Braves announced on Friday that they placed right-handed reliever Daysbel Hernandez (forearm) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to June 5) with right-forearm inflammation and selected the contract of right-hander Craig Kimbrel to the active big-league roster in a corresponding move. The Braves also added left-hander Dylan Dodd from Triple-A Gwinnett. The 28-year-old […]
Ryan Rolison Serving as Opener for Rockies
Colorado Rockies rookie left-hander Ryan Rolison will serve as the team's "opener" for Friday's series opener at Coors Field against the visiting New York Mets, according to MLB.com's Thomas Harding. Rolison has been converted to a relief role this year, but he has been used as an opener and scheduled multi-inning pitcher. Right-hander Antonio Senzatela […]
Twins Recall Travis Adams From Triple-A
The Minnesota Twins announced on Friday that they recalled right-handed pitching prospect Travis Adams from Triple-A St. Paul and optioned left-hander Kody Funderbunk to St. Paul in a corresponding move. Adams will get his first big-league call-up after going 3-1 with a 3.43 ERA and 1.14 WHIP with 37 strikeouts, three saves and 10 walks […]
Top Fantasy Baseball Closer Handcuffs and Waiver Wire Pickups Worth Stashing for Week 10 (2025)
It takes a very special type of pitcher to be able to close out the ninth inning in a save situation. Some very talented pitchers try and fail at it often, leaving the door open for other bullpen arms to inherit save opportunities for their teams. Saves are the one category where it feels like […]
Tim Mayza Cleared for Plyometric Program
Pittsburgh Pirates left-handed reliever Tim Mayza (lat) had serial imaging done on his shoulder late last week by Dr. Anthony Romeo in Chicago and was cleared to start a plyometric workout program, which he will do for the next two weeks, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Colin Beazley.

Dauri Moreta Nearing a Return to the Big Leagues
Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Dauri Moreta (elbow) remains on a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis and is nearing a major-league return.

Pittsburgh Pirates right-handed reliever Colin Holderman (thumb) has taken a "pause of healing," according to Todd Tomczyk.

Porter Hodge Throws Bullpen Session
Chicago Cubs right-handed reliever Porter Hodge (hip, oblique) threw a bullpen session on Wednesday, according to the Chicago Sun-Times' Maddie Lee.

It's good news that he's throwing again, but he's likely […]
Braves Calling Up Craig Kimbrel From Triple-A
After the Atlanta Braves' ninth-inning collapse in a loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks in Thursday's series finale in which the bullpen gave up seven runs to lose in the ninth inning, the Braves are calling up veteran right-handed reliever Craig Kimbrel from Triple-A Gwinnett, sources tell The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. The 37-year-old Kimbrel returned to […]
Kirby Yates, Michael Kopech Could be Back This Weekend
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that right-handed relievers Kirby Yates (hamstring) and Michael Kopech (shoulder) both came out of their live bullpen sessions well, and there's a "good possibility this weekend of both guys being active." It's bad news for left-hander Tanner Scott, who has been struggling at the back end of L.A.'s […]
Jason Foley Heads to 60-Day Injured List
Per the team, the Detroit Tigers have recalled reliever Jason Foley (shoulder) and placed him on the 60-day injured list. The 29-year-old recently underwent season-ending shoulder surgery. It's a procedural move for Detroit, as Foley had been an occupant on the Triple-A injured list since straining his shoulder in mid-April. The shuffling cleared a spot […]
