Eric Samulski (@SamskiNYC) and Scott Pianowski (@Scott_Pianowski) discuss recent injuries to Rhys Hoskins and Nick Lodolo and a potential sign that Junior Caminero may be close to a call-up. Then they discuss some of the struggling big-name hitters and analyze if it's time to trade them away. Should you hold onto Paul Goldschmidt or Gleyber Torres? Can you get enough value to trade away Bo Bichette or Corbin Carroll? Is Julio Rodriguez still an early first-round player? All that and more.

Eric Samulski (@SamskiNYC) and Scott Pianowski (@scott_pianowski) discuss the recent news and main waiver wire adds for the weekend. How good was Paul Skenes' debut? Should fantasy managers be as interested in Robert Gasser and Christian Scott? Why is Eric so excited about Matt Manning returning and instead of spending waiver money on trendy prospects, should people be more interested in hitters like JJ Bleday, Josh Rojas, Abraham Toro, and Eddie Rosario? Plus, Eric previews his most recent article on Statcast's new Bat Speed data.
