Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: We're sticking with the Blue Jays' red-hot offense for streamers this weekend
With just a few days remaining until the All-Star break, this is a great weekend to stream players and maximize production in fantasy baseball. After all, most of the players who are dropped in order to make streaming possible can be scooped back up while Major League teams and fantasy managers take a collective break at the outset of next week. [Smarter waivers, better trades, optimized lineups — Yahoo Fantasy Plus unlocks it all] Fantasy Baseball Weekend Preview Matchups to Target D-backs @ Angels Arizona should have plenty of baserunners against three starters who each have a WHIP over 1.37 and a bullpen with a 1.51 WHIP. Arizona knows what to do when they get runners on base, ranking 5th in runs scored. With lefties starting the initial two games of the series, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (50%) is the top player to add. Advertisement Reds vs. Rockies The Reds should score often at their hitter-friendly home park against a Rockies staff that ranks last in baseball with a 5.66 ERA. Austin Hays (16%) should hit cleanup in all three games and could really thrive against left-handed starters on Saturday and Sunday. He has a career .821 OPS in those matchups that includes an 1.154 mark this season. Brewers vs. Nationals The Brewers should have their way against Shinnosuke Ogasawara, Mitchell Parker, Cade Cavalli and baseball's worst bullpen. Leadoff hitter Sal Frelick (42%) is an easy candidate to join fantasy rosters, while righty batters Andrew Vaughn (5%) and Caleb Durbin (16%) make sense in deeper leagues, especially with lefties set to start on Friday and Saturday. Advertisement Blue Jays @ Athletics The Blue Jays could stay hot offensively when they visit Sutter Health Park, which has already become one of the most offense-inducing parks in baseball. Their cause will be helped by facing three unimpressive starters and a relief corps that ranks 29th in ERA. The Athletics will start lefties on Saturday and Sunday, and Ernie Clement (29%) has thrived in those matchups this year (1.074 OPS). Davis Schneider (1%) is another righty batter who mashes lefties and has been playing well of late. Matchups to Avoid Padres vs. Phillies San Diego could struggle to score against three starters who each have an ERA below 2.60. Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. are the only must-start Padres. Before you ask, I did not forget to include Jackson Merrill. Advertisement Tigers vs. Mariners The Tigers may not look like a team that ranks 6th in runs scored when they face three effective starters (Luis Castillo, George Kirby and Logan Gilbert) this weekend. Riley Greene is the only must-start Tiger for this series. Astros vs. Rangers The Astros will hopefully score often against Jack Leiter (4.32 ERA) on Friday, as they will be in tough vs. Jacob deGrom (2.29 ERA) and Nathan Eovaldi (1.62 ERA) during the subsequent two days. With Jeremy Peña on the injured list, Jose Altuve and Isaac Paredes are the only appealing Astros. Yankees vs. Cubs Some players on the Yankees could have an excellent series against two left-handed starters, but this is bad news for Jasson Domínguez, Ben Rice and Trent Grisham. All three should be benched wherever possible. Advertisement Seeking Saves Ronny Henriquez, Marlins, 38% Rostered Miami has improved lately, posting an 18-9 record since June 10. The Marlins should continue to win games this weekend with arguably the better starting pitcher in each of their three games in Baltimore. Henriquez has emerged as the team's closer, and this season he has five wins and five saves, to go along with a 60:16 K:BB ratio. Seeking Steals Evan Carter, Rangers, 18% Although Carter may sit against a lefty on Saturday, he has an excellent chance to steal a base in the other two games against the Astros, who have allowed the second-most steals this season. Carter has improved his aggressiveness on the basepaths this year by swiping 11 bags in 120 at-bats. In shallow leagues, Cedric Mullins (54%) is a terrific option for steals, as he faces a Marlins team that is baseball's easiest to run against.

(AP Photo/Rick Scuteri) PHOENIX (AP) — Alek Thomas went 3 for 3 with two runs scored, Ryne Nelson struck out seven in 6 2/3 innings and the Arizona Diamondbacks snapped a four-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Monday night. One pitch after Nelson was pulled in the seventh after exceeding his pitch count, Tyler Fitzgerald sent a shot to the warning track in center — just past a diving Thomas — to score two runs and tie it at 2. Advertisement The Diamondbacks answered with a run in the seventh on Geraldo Perdomo's bloop single to score Thomas. A controversial call for fan interference came in the top of the eighth on Christian Koss' deep shot to left-center field, resulting in a ground-rule double. John Curtiss struck out Rafael Devers and Shelby Miller came in to get Heliot Ramos looking. Eugenio Suarez added a solo shot in the eighth — his 11th home run in June. The Giants have lost three in a row. Nelson allowed two earned runs and five hits, while not giving up a walk. Curtiss (1-0) got his first win of the season and Miller earned his first career four-out save. Diamondbacks pitchers combined to hold the 1-2-3 hitters to 1 for 12 with seven strikeouts. Advertisement San Francisco stater Logan Webb (7-6) allowed three earned runs and seven hits, while striking out seven in 6 1/3 innings. Key moment San Francisco manager Bob Melvin was ejected in the ninth inning after arguing with the home plate umpire. Key stat Webb allowed just his seventh home run of the season when Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hit his 11th in the sixth for a 2-0 lead. Up next Arizona will start RHP Zac Gallen (5-9, 5.75 ERA) on Tuesday night against the Giants, who he has beaten twice in a row with a 0.75 ERA. San Francisco will go with RHP Hayden Birdsong (0-0, 4.13 ERA). ___ AP MLB:

Diamondbacks put catcher Gabriel Moreno on 10-day IL because of right hand contusion
Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno throws to first base in the seventh inning of a baseball game against the Atlanta Braves, Tuesday, June 3, 2025, in Atlanta. (AP Photo/Colin Hubbard) TORONTO (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks put catcher Gabriel Moreno on the 10-day injured list Thursday because of a contusion on his right hand. The move is retroactive to June 16. Arizona selected catcher Aramis Garcia from Triple-A Reno. To make room on the 40-man roster, right-hander Christian Montes De Oca (back/elbow) was transferred to the 60-day IL. Advertisement Outfielder Corbin Carroll was not in the starting lineup for Thursday's series finale against the Blue Jays. Carroll left Wednesday's 8-1 loss in the eighth inning after being hit on the left hand by a pitch. X-rays did not reveal a fracture. Manager Torey Lovullo said Carroll asked to play Thursday, but Lovullo preferred to rest the 2023 NL Rookie of the Year. Carroll is batting .255 with 20 home runs and 44 RBIs. Former Blue Jays outfielder Randal Grichuk started in right field for the Diamondbacks on Thursday. Moreno was scratched from the lineup Tuesday after injuring his hand during batting practice. He did not play Wednesday. Advertisement Moreno is batting .270 with five home runs and 20 RBIs in 53 games. Now in his third season with the Diamondbacks, Moreno was acquired from Toronto following the 2022 season, along with outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr., in a trade that sent outfielder Daulton Varsho to the Blue Jays. ___ AP MLB:
