Shane Baz's recent struggles raise concerns for fantasy owners. Following a promising start, he has delivered two poor outings, raising questions about his sustainability and effectiveness. Key metrics indicate he has been too hittable, with high contact rates on pitches in the strike zone. Comparisons with Max Meyer suggest that while Baz's talent is undeniable, his recent form suggests a sell-high opportunity has passed.

In contrast, Dylan Cease is trending upwards after an impressive outing against the Yankees, highlighting his potential as a reliable fantasy option if he can maintain health. T.J. Friedl's performance reflects a positive trajectory, making him a solid addition to rosters seeking offensive boosts. Meanwhile, injuries to key players like Hunter Green and Yordan Alvarez could reshape fantasy strategies, prompting owners to reassess player values and potential trades.

Injuries are impacting many teams, leading to a crowded waiver wire in fantasy baseball. A recent episode highlights ten must-add players to bolster rosters. Jacob Wilson of the Athletics, currently just 17% owned, is having an impressive start with a .351 batting average, two home runs, and a solid OPS of .919, showing potential to be a game-changer. Ben Rice of the Yankees, with a 28% ownership, is also on fire, hitting .320 with significant power numbers, but with some caution advised due to past inconsistencies. Shawn Murphy from the Braves, who’s recovering from an injury, could provide valuable catcher production if he regains form. Byron Buxton remains a high-risk, high-reward player at 40% ownership, while TJ Friedl of the Reds seems to be undervalued at 36% ownership, showcasing a promising start this season.
