Aside from a rough outing against Atlanta on June 14, Olson has been consistently good, registering a 12.0 percent SwStr% with no more than three earned runs and exactly one walk in every other start prior to Thursday’s short outing. If he is healthy enough to take his turn against the A’s, he is at least worth consideration as a streamer. In Thursday’s start against the Rangers, Olson exited in the second inning after taking a comebacker off his left knee, and he was diagnosed with a contusion. I was fully prepared to recommend Skubal’s teammate Reese Olson(25%) as a one-start streamer for 12-team leagues, because he lined up to start against the A’s next week. Greg Scholz got deeper into what to expect from Skubal in his injury mailbag this week, too. He threw just 68 pitches over four innings in that outing, but you can actually consider starting him this coming week, as long as he slots in to make starts against both the Athletics and Blue Jays at home. Now Skubal is expected to join the Tigers’ rotation, making Wednesday’s rehab start with Triple-A Toledo his final one. He had been so effective for the Tigers prior to his surgery to make it worth stashing him while he was finishing up his time in the minors. Tarik Skubal (59% rostered and coming off flexor tendon surgery) also got a mention in last week’s column along with Woo, even though he wasn’t expected to return from his rehab assignment just yet. Now he has a two-start week in front of him, and while his matchups are not especially favorable (on the road against the Giants and Astros), Woo is missing enough bats to be trustworthy against these opponents. After a difficult debut against the Rangers, Woo has tossed 20.2 stellar innings over four starts with 28 strikeouts, five walks, a 2.18 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP. Mariners rookie righty Bryan Woo (56% rostered in CBS leagues) is already on most-added lists, but he has yet to make much of a dent in 12-team and shallower leagues. After this weekend, that should no longer be the case. However, I would be completely remiss to not mention a handful I’ve written about in the last few weeks, as they are still widely available in 12-team leagues. ![]() I try to avoid repeating players in order to maximize the number of different players I write about. It also features a few players who have been mentioned in this space recently. ![]() This week’s waiver column has the usual features: the latest hot prospect callup, streamable hitters and pitchers with favorable matchups, and players on extended hot streaks.
