Pitcher List Updates Waiver Targets With Hicks Leading and Keller in Phillies Save Mix
Pitcher List points managers to metrics-backed adds during early-season churn.
Overview
- Liam Hicks, still available in about one-third of Yahoo leagues, is the top add thanks to a pull-heavy approach, four early home runs, a .326 average, and a 96th percentile expected batting average.
- Brad Keller is a pickup for saves in Philadelphia after Jhoan Duran went on the injured list with an oblique injury, with the role projected to tilt Keller’s way in the short term.
- Max Meyer is a recommended stream for a two-start week against the Cardinals and Giants, with Oracle Park and San Francisco’s slumping lineup boosting his appeal.
- Ryan Weathers earned praise as a high-upside add after 7.1 scoreless innings with eight strikeouts in his latest start for the Yankees.
- Analysts also highlight under-the-radar bats such as Colt Keith, Angel Martínez, Jeremiah Jackson, and Mauricio Dubón based on gains in hard contact, bat speed, and expected stats.
