Fantasy Baseball Alert: Chase Burns’ Surprise Debut and Jo Adell’s Unexpected Power Surge Shake Up Waiver Wire!
Parker Meadows – OF, DET: 13% rostered
(POWER/SPEED UPSIDE, RETURN FROM THE IL)
Meadows has struggled since coming off the IL, but I often think that we’re too quick to turn away from a player just because he doesn’t hit the ground running. Adjusting to MLB pitching is hard, even if you’ve been at this level before. Meadows was out for almost three months; it’s going to take some time for him to get his rhythm back. He’s a talented hitter and is playing pretty much every day in Detroit. I would still try to scoop him up before he gets hot. You could also add his teammate Wenceel Pérez – OF, DET (4% rostered), who is hitting .284/.333/.612 in 21 games this season with five home runs, 10 RBI, and 11 runs scored. He also hit .242 with nine home runs and nine steals in 112 games as a rookie last season. He’s been playing a lot of right field with Kerry Carpenter shifting to DH and Colt Keith riding the bench a lot, and that could be how Detroit approaches this moving forward.
