from The Fantasy Six Pack Hour · host Joe Bond and A.J. Applegarth
Roki Sasaki completely dismantled opposing hitters over seven stellar innings, solidifying himself as a priority waiver wire target. Corey Pieper breaks down the top injury news, studs and duds, the Waiver Wire segment, and the FanDuel Bet of the Day. On the injury front, a catastrophic weekend of news headlines Edwin Diaz being linked to a major cockfighting controversy, Blake Snell requiring surgery for loose bodies in his elbow, Clay Holmes fracturing his fibula, and Jordan Westburg undergoing season-ending Tommy John surgery. In studs and duds, Cristopher Sanchez spun a 13-strikeout masterpiece while Jameson Taillon and Logan Gilbert got absolutely shelled, combining to allow 10 home runs and 15 earned runs to anchor a brutal weekend for elite pitching.
