Fantasy Baseball Alert: Chase Burns’ Surprise Debut and Jo Adell’s Unexpected Power Surge Shake Up Waiver Wire!

Grant Taylor – SP/RP, CWS: 3% rostered
The White Sox flame-throwing prospect is up and pitching out of the bullpen for now. Taylor has legit electric stuff, and I think he could be closing for the White Sox in short order.
Richard Fitts – SP, BOS: 1% rostered
Fitts is with Boston in San Francisco, and I think there’s a good chance he is rejoining this rotation with Hunter Dobbins either moving to the bullpen or being sent down. I’m still in the bag for Fitts a bit. He was rushed back from his earlier rehab assignment after a pectoral injury because the Red Sox were without Walker Buehler and Tanner Houck at the time and weren’t comfortable with Dobbins pitching three times through a batting order. That clearly backfired, and Fitts returned to Triple-A to essentially finish his rehab assignment, where he has looked really sharp. The Yankees also announced that Alan Winans – SP, NYY (1% rostered) will be called up to take Ryan Yabrough’s place. Winans has been great in Triple-A this season, posting a 0.90 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, and 59/13 K/BB in 50 innings. I hate his matchup in Cincinnati, but he may be a better bet for the Yankees rotation until Luis Gil comes back than Marcus Stroman.
