It looks to be another calm week for adds if last night had not happened.Daniel Hudson got the first Save chance with Ken Giles out. He hasn’t had a chance to see his ownership jump so he’s not on the list, but he could garner decent bids for teams in need of Saves.

The projection guidelines:

• The ownership rates are from CBS since they have some quickdraw waiver wire leagues where players can be picked up at any time.
• The FAAB estimates are based on the 2018 15-team mixed NFBC leagues which used a $1000 FAAB budget. Owners are going to need to convert these values to their own league.
• The ownership values were taken from Saturday and lots can happen in between when they publish and FAAB bids run.
• Only players owned in 50% or fewer of CBS leagues are examined.

With the July 4th holiday and All-Star game, the waiver wire activity was down in the 38 NFBC Main Event leagues.

Injured

• Tyler Skaggs (32): Rest in peace.
• Tommy La Stella (30): He might be back for a couple of weeks in September.
• Jose Alvarado (15): On the IL for a month or two with a strained oblique.
• Jesus Luzardo (13): A lat strain has him out at least another month.
• Ji-Man Choi (13): Being borderline rosterable to begin with, an ankle injury put him on the waiver wire.
• Carlos Carrasco (11): Owners aren’t expecting much from him this season.

For most people, today is Father’s Day. For those who have an NFBC league, it’s Yordan Alvarez Day. The bids for him this week will be off the charts. It’s not just him who’s available and with many owners spending time with their families, there should be deals everywhere.
