The emergence of Andrew Heaney as a surprising pitching star continues to stir debate among fantasy baseball enthusiasts. Heaney has delivered impressive performances, including a recent outing with nine strikeouts in six shutout innings against the Angels. Despite his recent success, concerns linger about his long-term viability due to a history of inconsistency. Analysts are wary of his upcoming matchups against the Cubs and Padres, both of which could test his newly found form. Meanwhile, Reese Olson has made waves with a standout performance against a depleted Padres lineup, showcasing his potential as a viable fantasy option. The ongoing injury saga of Corey Seager presents yet another challenge for fantasy managers, as replacements at shortstop remain scarce. Players like Jeremy Peña and Mason Win are among the few options to consider.

As the fantasy baseball season approaches, the emphasis shifts to players you should consider adding to your watch list. With drafts now completed, the focus is on players who could be impactful in the upcoming season. Notable names include Casey Mize from the Detroit Tigers, showcasing promise after overcoming injury setbacks, and Reese Olson, another Tiger, who has displayed solid skills in the minors and spring training, indicating potential for value in deeper leagues.

Brandon Woodruff of the Milwaukee Brewers is progressing faster than anticipated from injury and could be a top-tier pitcher if he regains form. Justin Verlander, now with the San Francisco Giants, is also on the radar despite being a lower percentage owned option, with potential contributions in deeper formats. The podcast emphasizes the importance of being proactive and vigilant in monitoring waiver wire options as the season unfolds.
