There is something for everyone on the Yahoo waiver wire right now, as roster rates tend to climb slowly during the stretch run. And although this is the time of year to heavily stream players with favorable upcoming matchups, there are also a few players who have plenty of potential to become rest-of-season roster mainstays.
The good news doesn't end there, as this week's list includes a strong balance of starters, relievers and hitters. Let's dive in:
Andrew Painter, SP, Phillies, 24%: Since rejoining the Phillies on July 31, Painter has shown some significant changes to his ****** nal that should have fantasy managers excited. The former top prospect seems to have finally figured out his four-seam fastball, which he is throwing harder and inducing more vertical break. His changeup has fed off the fastball improvements to become more effective itself. The results have been excellent, including a 3.62 ERA and 1.06 WHIP across five starts.
Painter should be in most lineups for his Friday start against a weak Angels offense and can remain on rosters if that outing goes well.
J.T. Ginn, SP, Athletics, 32%: Ginn has been the Athletics' most consistent starter this season, as his respectable strikeout skills and heavy groundball lean have made him successful at home and on the road. Still, every Athletics pitcher likely prefers to work away from their hitter-friendly home park, which will be the case for Ginn twice next week, when he makes starts at offense-suppressing venues in Texas and Seattle. Managers who need to load up on starters for the final week of the fantasy regular season should add Ginn and his fellow two-start teammate, Gage Jump (13%), who has fared much better on the road (3.49 ERA) than at home (5.62 ERA).
