The Chicago Cubs have placed infielder Daniel Descalso (ankle) on the 10-day injured list with a left ankle sprain. Descalso has struggled mightily at the plate this year with a .181 batting average and two home runs. Even when healthy, Descalso can remain on the waiver wire in all formats.

H2H Category Streamers - Week 18 Waiver Wire
There are plenty of strategies that fantasy managers explore in hopes of getting an advantage over their opponent.
