We've reached the fun part of the year for the WaverWire Pickups podcast.

Prospect call-ups have started to arrive, and yes, it counts as fun, even if they play for the White Sox.

We'll have a couple of those and a whole bunch more names here on the Road to Wire Fantasy Baseball podcast.

Hello and welcome, to the Rotoire Fantasy Baseball podcast brought to you by Sling.

Eric Halterman here with Ryan Boyer for the Saturday Fab edition of the show.

And Ryan, I hope you haven't blown all your fab money yet through the first few weeks.

We're going to get some big names starting to come through.

We've got some medium to big names this week, perhaps, but should be the most fun stretch of the year.

I would imagine over these next few weeks in terms of prospect call-ups and corresponding fab bids, right?

Yeah, what is it the April 20th?

You get that extra year of the extra year of control.

That's the official cutoff.

So, yeah, it should be seeing more and more guys that look like they're on the kind of knocking on the door at AAA. See more of those.

We've already seen some pretty notable prospects come up already and more to come in the coming days and weeks.

Yeah, we will get to those call-ups in just a few minutes, but as always, want to start with the headlines, which includes Jorge Polanco hitting the IL.

This is something we've expected for maybe over a week now, but we thought it was going to come due to his Achilles tendonitis.

Instead, it's actually a right wrist contusion that sent Polanco to the IL earlier this morning.

Wouldn't be surprised, though, if this turns out to be longer than normal absence for a wrist bruise

because they might want to give Polanco the chance to recover from that Achilles issue,

could create some opportunities for

at least, you know, a few weeks, up to a month, perhaps. Anybody in particular, you see those

opportunities going to? Is this going to keep Mark Vientos in the lineup as a regular again?
