Week 19 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers

To quote a certain legendary regional manager, "My heart soars with the eagle's nest." You know why?

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt (knee) took batting practice on Monday but still hasn't been cleared to run. He is hoping to return from the disabled list later this week.
