As this week’s pinch-hitter for providing waiver wire gems, I’ll try to keep the picks plentiful and the explanations expedited. Let’s get down to business.
Danny Jansen (C, Toronto Blue Jays, 16% rostered)
Since returning from the IL, Jansen has gone deep three times in six games. The power surge shouldn’t come as a surprise, as the backstop produced a 1.165 OPS in the second half of 2021 and an .855 mark last season. Jansen deals with more injuries than the average player, but he is a quality slugger when healthy, which is the case right now.
