Mark Trumbo (OF, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ANALYSIS: Trumbo has been healthy for a while now but has only recently found the groove he was in at the beginning of the season when he was belting HRs left and right. He has 3 HR and 13 RBIs over his last 8 games. The BA is not a […]

Carl Crawford (OF, LAD) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Carl Crawford is not the player he once was in Tampa.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep NL-Only Leagues / Keeper and Dynasty Leagues ANALYSIS: Joc Pederson is not in a great spot right now, given the depth of the Dodgers' outfield, but his talent combined with the struggles of some of the outfielders on the Dodgers could lead to Pederson grabbing some at-bats down the stretch. A […]

Dexter Fowler (OF, HOU) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / AL-Only Leagues ANALYSIS: Dexter Fowler has had a wishy-washy season, to say the least.

Brock Holt (OF / SS / 3B, BOS) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues ANALYSIS: Despite his impressive play through 94 games, the Red Sox have struggled to find Holt a steady position.

Michael Morse (1B / OF, SF) - Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues ANALYSIS: Michael Morse is having a solid year at the dish, and his power numbers should be enticing for fantasy owners in deeper leagues, especially given the flexibility offered by Morse's multi-position eligibility. Playing 1B and OF for the Giants this year, Morse is slashing .286/.341/.487 with 16 HR and […]
Jarrod Dyson (OF, KC) - Waiver Wire Pickups
