Fantasy baseball managers, it's time to shake up your roster. This weekend's waiver wire is buzzing with fresh talent, and we've got the scoop on two players who could make a real difference for your team.
First up is JJ Bleday, who just won't stop raking. The Athletics outfielder has been on a tear lately, consistently delivering at the plate and showing the kind of pop that fantasy owners dream about. If he's still available in your league—and given his under-40% rostered status, he likely is—now's the time to pounce. Bleday is a reliable add for categories like home runs and RBIs, and his hot streak shows no signs of cooling off.
Then there's A.J. Ewing, who has burst onto the scene with the Mets and made an immediate impression. In just three games, he's already turning heads—and nearly exceeding our rostered threshold for this column. Ewing's rise has been nothing short of meteoric: he started the season at Double-A, and in 30 minor league games, he slashed an impressive .339/.447/.514 with two home runs and 17 stolen bases. While he's not expected to be a massive power hitter, he launched a 110 mph line-drive homer against the Tigers this week, proving the pop is real when he connects. He tends to keep the ball on the ground to maximize his speed, so expect a solid batting average and plenty of steals.
Both players are available in over 60% of Yahoo! leagues, making them prime targets for weekend adds. Whether you need a power boost or a speed infusion, these two could be the difference-makers your squad needs as the season heats up.
