BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 40% of leagues ANALYSIS: It has been far from a banner year for Amir Garrett, but there have been enough struggles and injuries throughout the Cincinnati bullpen for him to be the main high-leverage go-to arm while Lucas Sims and Tejay Antone are on the IL.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Two-Catcher Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: While it is very unfortunate that Carson Kelly landed on the IL with a fractured wrist and will likely be out until after the All-Star Break, this provides another opportunity for catching prospect Daulton Varsho to adjust his bat to the MLB level.
