Summary
Wednesday was a crazy one in the world of baseball! We start off with the OMGG player of the night, which is no doubt Bo Bichette (1:42). Bichette finished 5-5 with a homer and two steals. The kid is a stud. ... It looks like the Blue Jays home park in Buffalo will be hitter friendly (4:33). Is Travis Shaw for real? What do we do with Nate Pearson? ... Onto news and notes and surprise, surprise, now Aaron Judge is dealing with lower body soreness (10:28). Should you look to sell? Should you add Clint Frazier, instead? Ronald Acuña will be out this weekend with a wrist injury. On the Astros front, Justin Verlander is set to resume throwing next week while Yordan Alvarez is coming soon! Buy or sell (17:49)!? Blake Snell is back, Buxton is finally breaking out, Mike Yastrzemski is a Top-30 OF, and Brandon Lowe is a must-start second baseman. It was nice to see these players bounce-back on Wednesday (26:13). What's been the issue with Pete Alonso. Mitch Garver and Miguel Sano also had strong games. ... Let's hit the waiver wire (29:15). Who does Scott prefer out of Eflin, Brad Keller, and Davies? For the hitters, it's time to get hyped about Garrett Hampson and Jesse Winker. ... We also hit on a few deeper league names (48:50), including Robbie Grossman, Chance Sisco, and Andres Giminez. ... Email us at fantasybaseball@cbsi.com.
