We just went over fantasy baseball waiver wire/streaming options based on weekly projections, and now are going to get into some more traditional waiver wire/streaming options.
A new week is here, so it's time to go over weekly fantasy baseball projections to identify some waiver wire/streaming options.
It's the last week of April; by the time we reach the weekend, 2026 will be one-third of the way through. Time flies, but we will soon be hitting the long middle stretch of the baseball season, a time that will cause many fans to let their interest ebb and flow.
Both the NBA and NHL playoffs are in full swing, and the NFL Draft has taken place the past two days (and finishes today), so baseball has taken a bit of a backseat despite being the only sport with its regular season in progress. MLB will have its time alone in the spotlight during the Dog Days of Summer, but it's presently a packed calendar for American sports.
The first round of the 2026 NFL Draft is in the books! Let's begin breaking things down here by looking over the fantasy football outlooks for all the offensive playmakers taken so far.
Let's wrap up this week's fantasy baseball closer rundown by going over American League teams.
It's been a rough start to the year when it comes to fantasy baseball closers. There's been injuries, poor performances and more that has made it tough to trust your fantasy options.
After taking a look at some more fantasy baseball waiver wire options, plus starting pitcher streamers, let's now go over some drop candidates.
It's time for our final fantasy baseball waiver wire story of the work week!
All but four baseball teams have now played at least 25 games, putting us more than 15% of the way through the season. The MLB season is long and grueling, and it can help to break it down into chunks.
