Digging Deeper: Week 10 AL Waiver Wire Targets

Tom Bellucco brings you the best deep American League MLB sleepers and picks for Week 10 of the 2017 Fantasy Baseball Season.

Welcome back to Digging Deeper! I'll be taking a look at some deeper AL waiver wire options for Week 10 of the fantasy baseball season.

The first week of June has come and gone, and if your teams are anything like mine, injuries have become even more of an issue than they were in May... Which seemed impossible. Have no fear, there's always the waiver wire... *Sigh*.

This week I'm working smart, not hard. When looking at hitters and pitchers available in about 20% or less of leagues on Yahoo!, I saw plenty of names that I've either mentioned in the past as having upside or contain obvious, lower-tier value. For that reason, I'm going to give a bit longer list of upside waiver names with no explanations. If for some reason you can't connect the dots and figure out why it is I have at least a glimmer of hope in a certain player, feel free to find me on Twitter @BellRoto and ask me personally. I'll be happy to explain my reasoning. Good luck!

Be sure to check all of our fantasy baseball draft tools and resources:
