Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire

After a slow start to the season, Jiménez has heated up of late, going 12-for-38 (.316) over his last 10 games with four extra base hits, one home run, and 12 RBI. That has also come with six strikeouts and three walks. There doesn’t appear to be any room for him in Tampa Bay, unless they want to play him in the outfield, but if he continues to hit like this, the Rays or some other MLB team will want to see if they can get him to produce at the big league level again.

Estrada, who fractured his wrist on March 21st when he was hit by a pitch, had been swinging a bat with one hand but progressed to full swings earlier this week. He will now continue to increase the velocity he’s facing and work himself back into game shape before beginning a rehab assignment. We could see him in the Rockies’ lineup by the middle of June.

Cronenworth hit the ground running in his first rehab game on Tuesday, blasting a home run and walking three times. He’ll play another rehab game on Wednesday and could rejoin the Padres in Colorado on Friday. If he does return this weekend, that could mean that Tyler Wade moves back to his role as a utility player off the bench.

The 30-year-old had a PRP injection in his left elbow after his start on April 3rd and has been shut down since then. He started playing catch earlier this week and will build up to long toss, bullpens, and then a rehab assignment. We’re still many weeks away from seeing him on a mound in Milwaukee.

This is the third bullpen session for Montas as he continues his throwing program following a lat strain he suffered in spring training. The veteran will need a full buildup, almost as a separate Spring Training, before he can be considered to rejoin the Mets rotation. The original plan was for him to return in early June, and if he progresses to a rehab assignment soon, that could still be in play for the 32-year-old.

Waldichuk used all of his pitches in the session and is scheduled to throw another bullpen on Saturday. The left-hander had Tommy John surgery last year and is targeting a return before the All-Star break. It remains to be seen what role the Athletics will use him in when he does return.
