For fantasy baseball enthusiasts looking to bolster their pitching staff, a strategic streaming option becomes critical during the upcoming scoring period. With over ten pitchers available at less than 80% rostered in CBS Sports leagues, here are the top choices for Week 14 (June 23-29).

Shane Smith of the Chicago White Sox boasts an impressive ERA under 3.00 despite a recent rough outing. Matthew Liberatore of the St. Louis Cardinals, meanwhile, presents a strong option with elite control, even if matchups against the Cubs raise concerns. Chad Patrick, pitching for Milwaukee, faces the two weakest lineups, making him a favorable pickup. Jose Soriano of the Angels is hot off two double-digit strikeout games, while veteran Michael Wacha shows promise against a formidable Rays lineup, especially at home.

Additionally, keep an eye on Hayden Birdsong of San Francisco and Eduardo Rodriguez of Arizona for their favorable matchups, although Rodriguez has struggled with baserunners. Justin Verlander, returning from injury, remains relevant with reverse matchups against the same teams as Rodriguez. Lastly, Ben Brown from the Cubs may be more suited for points leagues due to his inconsistency. These pitchers represent solid streaming options to consider for your fantasy roster this week.

The Boston Red Sox are facing a complex situation as they navigate their roster with the recent call-ups of Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer. With the return of outfielder Masataka Yoshida drawing nearer, following a cortisone shot and a marked improvement in his health, the team is bracing for a potential outfield logjam. Yoshida, under a hefty five-year, $90 million contract, has indicated that he aims to begin a rehab assignment soon, a promising sign for both him and the Red Sox.

In 2024, Yoshida had an impressive performance with 106 hits and a .280 batting average. His return will significantly enhance the competitive depth of the outfield, which now includes Jarren Duran, Ceddane Rafaela, Wilyer Abreu, Anthony, and Yoshida. This raises questions about the future of the current outfielders, especially if the Red Sox decide to trade away some talent to make room.

As the MLB season progresses into Week 11, fantasy managers face a plethora of options on the waiver wire. Key players like Tyler Stephenson and Sal Frelick have emerged as must-adds due to their consistent performances and favorable matchups. Stephenson has been hitting well for the Cincinnati Reds while Frelick’s contributions in batting average and steals make him a valuable asset. Parker Meadows' impressive return for the Detroit Tigers also makes him a target as he looks to build on his leadoff role.

Other noteworthy choices include Chase Meidroth, who offers versatility across the infield positions, alongside Toronto's Ernie Clement and Minnesota’s Trevor Larnach, both providing a good balance of average and power. With younger talents like Christian Encarnacion-Strand now back from injury and making an immediate impact, fantasy owners would do well to assess their rosters and consider these potential streamers to bolster their lineups in the coming week.

Bo Bichette powered the Toronto Blue Jays to a decisive 9-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies with a two-run homer, while Chris Bassitt excelled on the mound, throwing seven strong innings. The Blue Jays have been on a roll, winning eight of their last ten games, with key contributions from Myles Straw and Tyler Heineman, each driving in three runs. Toronto's offense overwhelmed the Phillies, accumulating 14 hits compared to Philadelphia’s five.

Bassitt’s performance was highlighted by six strikeouts and allowing just one earned run. The Blue Jays took control early, scoring four runs in the second inning and an additional four in the third, showcasing their offensive prowess. Alejandro Kirk also had a notable day with three hits. However, it was a tough outing for the Phillies, who have now lost five of their last six games. Toronto's Vladimir Guerrero Jr. saw his on-base streak end at 34 games, marking a significant moment in the matchup.

Marcelo Mayer, a rising star in the Boston Red Sox organization, has officially been called up to the major leagues after a standout season at Triple-A Worcester. The 22-year-old shortstop, ranked No. 8 overall in baseball, boasted impressive stats in Triple-A, hitting .271 with 9 home runs and 43 RBIs across 43 games. His promotion comes as the Red Sox face injury concerns with Alex Bregman, making Mayer's addition timely for the struggling team.

Having previously dealt with a back injury that sidelined him last season, Mayer's resilience and adaptability have been noteworthy. His recent transition to second base demonstrates his willingness to do whatever it takes to help the team. The excitement surrounding his call-up was palpable among his teammates, underscoring his popularity and the high expectations placed on him as he takes the field at Fenway Park.
