Chicago Cubs Pitcher Ben Brown takes center stage as fantasy leagues scramble to snag the surging righty. Can Brown’s sizzling strikeout rate and new pitch arsenal make him the waiver wire gem of the summer? Dominick Martino spotlights not only Brown’s breakout, but also key adds like Connelly Early (Boston Red Sox) and Reid Detmers, dissecting advanced stats, pitch mix changes, and upcoming matchups for savvy roster moves.

The analysis turns to bullpen shakeups with Kyle Finnegan stepping into Detroit Tigers’ save opportunities, plus intriguing bats such as Brooks Lee (Minnesota Twins), Sam Antonacci and Chase Meidroth (Chicago White Sox), and deep-league dart Jesus Sanchez (Toronto Blue Jays). Martino breaks down positional flexibility, lineup spot trends, and late-season streaming strategy for managers eager to outsmart the competition. Who should you target before the waiver pool runs dry? Jump in for actionable advice that could decide your season.
