Episode notes
Bieber's Return Looks Legit
- Shane Bieber's Blue Jays debut showed his velocity and breaking stuff looked close to pre-injury form.
- Treat him as a must-start now but reassess after the Brewers matchup if he falters.
Target Starting-Roles On Waivers
- Prioritize adding pitchers who have clear starting roles this week like Nolan McLean and Hurston Waldrep.
- Add Cam Schlittler too but view him a tier below due to a narrower arsenal.
Chandler's Stuff Is Starter-Caliber
- Bubba Chandler dominated in a multi-inning relief debut with triple-digit velocity and excellent command.
- His fantasy ceiling depends entirely on whether the Pirates shift him into a starting role.
