Fantasy Baseball Injury Updates for Week 7

Outfield Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 7

There wasn't very much movement for outfielders on waivers over the past week, so most of the players listed in last week's article are still attractive pickups this week.

2020 Starting Pitcher K% Increases

We're somehow halfway through the 2020 season and judgments need to be passed. Every statistic has a point where it is said to begin to stabilize and become more useful than it is not.
