First Cup Fantasy Baseball: May 3 – Waiver Wire: Ronald Acuna to the IL

from The Fantasy Six Pack Hour · host Joe Bond and A.J. Applegarth

Ronald Acuna Jr. is heading to the 10-day IL with a hamstring injury, and that's the biggest roster-shaking story on today's episode of First Cup Fantasy Baseball with host Corey Pieper. On the waiver wire today, Corey covers Andrew Vaughn (34%), Max Meyer (28%), Logan Henderson (19%), Nick Gonzales (13%), and Connor Prielipp (12%) as the top targets to pick up. Studs this weekend included Emerson Hancock's 14-strikeout gem, Max Meyer going seven innings with one hit, Cody Bellinger going 4-for-4 with two homers, and William Contreras putting up back-to-back four-hit games. On the dud side, Rhett Lowder, Zac Gallen, Chase Dollander, and Bryan Woo all had ugly outings. The injury list is long this week — Ryan Helsley has elbow inflammation, Ranger Suarez left his start early with a hamstring issue, Joe Ryan left after one batter with elbow discomfort, Ronny Mauricio is out 6-8 weeks with a fractured thumb, and Ryan Pepiot is done for the year with hip surgery.
