With only two FAAB periods left, the back half leans on stat-category streaming for both hitters (Coors Field- and heat-fueled power bats, stolen-base burglars) and pitchers (matchup-based volume plays, short-outing ratio helpers, and a crowded, unsettled closer picture).

A recurring theme is stat-category tunnel vision down the stretch: drop anyone you can't use this week, target cellar-dwelling offenses like the Angels for pitching streams, and pick your spots by ballpark and schedule rather than name value. Kevin closes with a reminder to map out matchups two to three weeks ahead and start trimming bench pitchers you won't actually use.Welcome and News 0:00-15:00Yankees place Trent Grisham on the IL with a hamstring injury, call up Jasson Domínguez, as Aaron Judge nears a return next weekPlayers Discussed: Trent Grisham, Jasson Domínguez, Aaron Judge, Spencer Jones, George Lombard Jr.Yankees keep rolling three catchers with no clear timeshare changePlayers Discussed: Austin Wells, Alí Sánchez, Ben RiceRed Sox activate Trevor Story and Roman Anthony, option Anthony Seigler and Mickey Gasper, then bring Gasper right back up when Wilson Contreras hits the ILPlayers Discussed: Trevor Story, Roman Anthony, Anthony Seigler, Mickey Gasper, Willson ContrerasRays lose Shane McClanahan to the IL again with forearm tightness, and closer Bryan Baker exits Friday's outing with an illness scare as Tyler Wells covers the savePlayers Discussed: Shane McClanahan, Bryan Baker, Tyler WellsPirates activate rookie Konnor Griffin, DFA Christian Bethancourt to make roomPlayers Discussed: Konnor Griffin, Christian BethancourtCubs lose Ben Brown for the rest of the season with a neck injury, with Edward Cabrera nearing a return for bullpen dutyPlayers Discussed: Ben Brown, Edward Cabrera, Matthew Boyd, Colin Rea, Kevin Gausman, Jameson Taillon, Clay Holmes, Jacob Webb, Daniel PalenciaAngels' Luis Rengifo out for the season with an ACL tear and MCL sprainPlayers Discussed: Luis RengifoMets tentatively hoping Jonah Tong returns for a rotation spot start next week, with a possible two-start week to followPlayers Discussed: Jonah TongMore News 15:00-35:00Dodgers get healthy all at once — call up Alex Freeland, activate Will Smith, Justin Wrobleski, and Dalton Rushing off the IL, and DFA Alek Thomas and Ben RortvedtPlayers Discussed: Alex Freeland, Will Smith, Justin Wrobleski, Dalton Rushing, Alek Thomas, Ben RortvedtShohei Ohtani working back from a few days off as Miguel Rojas and Alex Freeland's emergence lets Tommy Edman slide to the outfield, and Hunter Feduccia (not Rushing) backs up Will SmithPlayers Discussed: Shohei Ohtani, Miguel Rojas, Alex Freeland, Tommy Edman, Hunter Feduccia, Will Smith, Dalton Rushing, Enrique HernándezOrioles claim Luis Robert Jr. Jr. off waivers from the Mets and add Heston Kjerstad, crowding an already deep outfieldPlayers Discussed: Luis Robert Jr., Heston Kjerstad, Colton Cowser, Dylan BeaversPadres call up catching phenom Ethan Salas as part of their roster expansionPlayers Discussed: Ethan Salas, Freddy Fermin, Luis CampusanoNationals call up power-hitting prospect Yohandy Morales, muddying the first base/DH picturePlayers Discussed: Yohandy Morales, Abimelec Ortiz, Andrés ChaparroMariners finally call up top prospect Lazaro Montes as rosters expandPlayers Discussed: Lazaro MontesEmerson Hancock hits the IL, Nick Davila is recalled to the bullpen, and Bryce Miller gets another rotation look over Ryan SloanPlayers Discussed: Emerson Hancock, Nick Davila, Bryce Miller, Ryan SloanMontes has started three of his first five games and appears to be pushing Taylor Ward into the short side of a platoonPlayers Discussed: Lazaro Montes, Taylor WardFAAB Recommendations, Hitters 35:00-45:00Power (RBI, HR)Players Discussed: Lazaro Montes, Mickey Gasper, Sean Murphy, Andy Ibáñez, Shay WhitcombSpeed (R, SB)Players Discussed: Dustin Harris, Richie Palacios, Tyler TolbertOpportunity (AB, AVG)Players Discussed: Dane Myers, Carlos Cortes, Denzel Clarke, Jeff McNeilFAAB Recommendations, Pitchers 45:00-1:00:00Volume (W, K)Players Discussed: Cade Cavalli, Taj Bradley, Bailey Ober, Joe Ryan, Quinn Mathews, Connor Prielipp, Grayson Rodriguez, Jack Kochanowicz, Andre PallanteRatios (ERA, WHIP)Players Discussed: Nate Lavender, Brooks Raley, Brock Stewart, Edgardo HenriquezClosers (Saves)Players Discussed: Calvin Faucher, Hunter Gaddis, Cade Smith, Kenley Jansen, Justin Martinez, Juan Morillo, Brandyn GarciaWild Card and Closing Advice 1:00:00-1:05:00Wild card stash: Adael Amador's shortened, more compact swing in Colorado's ten-game homestandPlayers Discussed: Lazaro Montes, Adael AmadorMap out schedules two weeks aheadJoin Our Discord & Support The Show: PL+ | PL Pro - Get 15% off Yearly with code PODCASTProud member of the Pitcher List Fantasy Baseball Podcast Network Join Our Discord & Support The Show: PL+ | PL Pro - Get 15% off Yearly with code PODCASTProud member of the Pitcher List Fantasy Baseball Podcast Network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This week on Hacks & Jacks, Scott and Brett talk through news and notes from around the league, hitters who have climbed Scott's ranks and those who have fallen in the list as well. One of the most notable risers this week is Boston Red Sox second baseman Ceddanne Rafaela, who has propelled the Sox offense with an aggressive approach, alongside a combination of power and speed that many dreamed of but few saw coming in this extreme. Meanwhile, fantasy managers of Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. are stuck holding the bag on their first round pick. You can't trade him. You can't cut him. You just have to be sad that he isn't doing the things he used to. All that and more in this episode of Hacks & Jacks.

This week on Hacks & Jacks, Scott and Brett talk through news and notes from around the league, hitters who have climbed Scott's ranks and those who have fallen in the list as well. The top tier of the list has been reserved for just two names for the majority of the past two seasons: Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge. Now, with Judge on the IL, and a couple of superstars breaking out, that tier has expanded. James Wood and Yordan Alvarez have jumped aboard and show no sign of going away! The guys talk about some bats that are still hovering around the top-50 in player rater rankings but have been downright bad the past two months.

Mitch Keller lasted just three innings against the Atlanta Braves as his season-long struggles against left-handed hitters continued. Alex Stumpf examines Keller's extreme platoon splits, the mechanical issues potentially affecting his arsenal and why neither the cutter nor changeup has provided a reliable answer.

The MLB Draft Combine takes center stage and serves as a backdrop for a discussion of the top prep position players on the latest Pipeline Podcast. Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff talk about which players stood out most on the first day of Combine workouts, including UCLA first baseman Mulivai Levu and Rocco Maniscalco. That leads to talk of the high school bat class, including whether Grady Emerson is the top prospect in the entire Draft, and an interview with another talented prep shortstop in Jacob Lombard. If that's not enough, Jim and Jonathan do a joint mock draft where they project each club's top selection before fielding a listener mailbag question about Phillies right-hander Gage Wood.

It's a stacked sports day at the Korner Booth Podcast! New York City came to a standstill as the Knicks celebrated their first NBA championship in 53 years with a massive ticker-tape parade. An estimated 2 million fans lined Broadway from Battery Park to City Hall, where Finals MVP Jalen Brunson was serenaded with chants, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani presented the team with the Keys to the City. The parade closed out a Finals run that saw the Knicks beat the Spurs in five games behind one of the best title-stage performances in recent memory from Brunson, capping a Finals series that averaged more than 20 million viewers, the most-watched NBA postseason since 1998. We break down the best moments from the celebration, Brunson's incredible run, and what this title means for a Knicks fanbase that's waited over half a century for this moment. Then we head to the gridiron for the 2026 UFL United Bowl, where the Louisville Kings pulled off one of the most remarkable championship runs in recent sports history. In their first-ever season as a franchise, the Kings knocked off the defending champion DC Defenders 27-20 at Audi Field, completing a perfect season sweep of DC. Running back Ian Wheeler was named United Bowl MVP after rushing for 81 yards and the go-ahead touchdown, while Louisville's defense forced a key fumble and held the Defenders to just four points in the second half. The win is even sweeter considering the Kings started the season 0-3 before rattling off a championship-or-bust turnaround. We break down how a brand-new franchise pulled off the title run in year one. We're also bringing you a Week 2 update from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, brought to you by Belly Up Sports' "Summer of Soccer." Group play has delivered drama all over North America with co-host Canada thrashing Qatar 6-0 to take control of Group B, while Switzerland bounced back from a slow start with a dominant win of their own. In Group A, Mexico sits perfect through two matches as the co-hosts push for a deep run, while South Africa and Czechia battled to a dramatic late draw. Elsewhere, the US continues group play against Australia, and Brazil looks to stay unbeaten against Haiti. We run through the standings, the biggest storylines, and which teams are trending toward the knockout rounds as the group stage heats up. And finally, breaking news out of MLB: the Home Run Derby is getting a major facelift for 2026. After a decade of using a pitch clock, MLB is scrapping the timer and going back to an outs-based, swing-driven format at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia. Hitters will get 20 swings in Round 1 and 15 in each of the final two rounds, with any home run on a hitter's final swing earning them another swing, meaning a hot streak can keep the round alive indefinitely. The move comes after players like Bryce Harper raised concerns about fatigue and injury risk under the old timed format. We get into what the new rules mean for this year's Derby and which sluggers stand to benefit most. #Knicks #NBAFinals #NBAChampions #JalenBrunson #CanyonOfHeroes #UFL #LouisvilleKings #UnitedBowl #DCDefenders #FIFAWorldCup2026 #WorldCup2026 #BellyUpSports #SummerOfSoccer #MLB #HomeRunDerby #Phillies #NYKnicks #SportsNews #KornerBoothPodcast
