Week 5 Waiver Wire - H2H Category Streamers

I like to consider myself a pioneer of the streaming approach. I won a league about seven years ago completely ignoring saves and just stacking up the starts each week. While streaming is undoubtedly more directly associated with pitching, there's plenty of value in streaming for offense as well. Maybe you have a stacked roster […]

Buy or Sell - Underowned and Overowned Players for Week 5

Franklin Barreto Not Challenged By Triple-A Pitching

Oakland Athletics shortstop prospect Franklin Barreto continued his offensive momentum despite a 8-6 loss to New Orleans Baby Cakes. He finished the night 2-for-4 with a homer, a double, and two runs. Barreto has been making quick work of Triple-A in the 10 games since he was sent down. He has a .308 AVG to […]

Ketel Marte Drops In Batting Order

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte has dropped from second to sixth in the batting order. Despite a 10 game hitting streak earlier in the season, Marte is still batting .232, which prompted Torey Lovullo to make the move. The move severely hurts his fantasy value, as he won't be protected by Paul Goldschmidt and […]

Since being drafted second overall in the 2015 June Amateur Draft, much has been expected of Houston third baseman Alex Bregman. Shooting through the minors in only a year and change, Bregman made an instant impact with a 1.1 WAR in 49 games in 2016. It appeared that the Astros had their corner of the […]

Brock Holt Leaves Game With Hamstring Tightness

Boston Red Sox utility player Brock Holt (hamstring) exited in the third inning of Thursday's game against the Blue Jays. Holt has been playing at shortstop while Xander Bogaerts was on the disabled list. It is rather unfortunate but timely, as Bogaerts is expected to come off the DL on Friday. During the last nine […]

Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Jung Ho Kang has been granted a work visa to re-enter the United States and "will rejoin the Pirates in the coming days," according to Rob Biertempfel.
