Two big league mechanics drive this week’s AL FAAB preview: players returning from injury or under-the-radar prospects who could pop in the next 2-6 weeks. Shane Bieber looms as a potential discount stash for those who can weather a short ramp, with velocity back to 2022 levels and a likely debut in a favorable two-start window. Kyle Bradish offers a safer, lower-cost buy with strong recent minor-league momentum and a two-start week on the horizon. Yoendrys Gomez and Cristian Javier intrigue for deeper formats thanks to big-raw arsenals and two-step tiers, while Samuel Basallo provides rare catcher eligibility and high upside as Baltimore nudges toward a call. Grids color the landscape, ranking upside A-E and defaulting to upside rather than mere playing time, guiding how to allocate a $100 FAAB budget across these risk/reward bets.
