On The Wire

Adam Howe and Kevin Hastings return after a three-week hiatus to catch up on a backlog of injuries and roster moves across the league, headlined by Kade Anderson's MLB debut for Seattle. The bulk of the episode covers hitter and pitcher FAAB targets by category, with an especially long look at closer/bullpen chaos in Kansas City, Chicago, Arizona, and beyond. Kevin closes with a stretch-run pep talk: with five weeks left, it's time to take on more risk if you're chasing, and to protect ratios if you're not.

Cardinals lose two more starters to the IL as Hunter Dobbins and Andre Pallante both hit injured list

Kyle Leahy could see shortened outings and skipped starts down the stretch as innings are managed

Yankees get Carlos Rodón back, but Max Fried hits IL and Ryan Weathers deals with forearm discomfort ahead of doubleheader

Ryan McMahon hits IL with thumb sprain, Max Schuemann recalled as José Caballero sees increased playing time

Giancarlo Stanton suffers rehab setback and is likely done for the season, Aaron Judge unlikely to have fantasy impact in 2026

Dodgers lose Andy Pages for the rest of the season, recall Alek Thomas to fill in at center field

Athletics lose Jacob Wilson to the IL again, Donovan Walton and Carlos Cortes set to benefit from a soft home schedule

Diamondbacks place Ketel Marte on the IL with knee inflammation after a bizarre restricted-list saga, Ildemaro Vargas picking up playing time

Jordan Lawlar playing everyday in center field for Arizona since returning from the IL, though a Saturday benching raises a flag

Kade Anderson makes his MLB debut for the Mariners and is expected to stick for the rest of the season

Orioles get Samuel Basallo back from the IL, but Carlos Narváez still holding down the majority of catching duties versus lefties

Jorge Polanco to have season-ending ankle surgery for the Mets

Maikel Garcia hits the IL again with a hamstring injury just days after returning, Nick Loftin continues to benefit

Salvador Perez rarely catching these days as Carter Jensen takes over behind the plate, Luke Maile and Vinnie Pasquantino also in the mix

Royals bullpen shuffle as Lucas Erceg is optioned, Craig Kimbrel ties the all-time saves-with-teams record, but Steven Cruz remains the preferred arm

Power (RBI, HR)

Speed (R, SB)

Opportunity (AB, AVG)

Volume (W, K)

Ratios (ERA, WHIP)

Closers (Saves)

Closer spec-adds are the play since most stash spots are already full

Time to embrace risk if you're chasing
