Catchers to Stream - Week 10 Waiver Wire

It's your resident catcher advocate here, with my weekly defense for baseball's most maligned position.

[…]

1B and 3B Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

This weekend marked the triumphant return of CI-eligible Cody Bellinger. He was likely the highest drafted or most costly CI a team selected to start the season. Bellinger was out since April 5 with a broken leg. He was off to a terribly slow start, but the sample size was small enough to read nothing […]

2B and SS Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 10

Injuries have been a plague upon Major League Baseball from the jump this year; middle infielders haven't been spared, so things are looking a bit thin out there on the ol' waiver wire. You can still find help, though, and that's the goal of this exercise. Most of the players who will be written up […]

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Colten Brewer was added to the major league roster prior to Friday night's contest against the Miami Marlins, taking the spot vacated by recently-demoted outfielder Franchy Cordero.
