Drew Smyly (SP, TB) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Stash in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 47% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: The long awaited return of Drew Smyly is finally upon us. After spending the last few months on the DL, the Tampa Bay Rays are activating Smyly off the DL in their hopes of a playoff push. At this point, we all know the type of fantasy upside and talent that he brings to the table. The only questions now are can he stay healthy, and will he be able to regain his pre-injury form after sustaining an always tricky arm injury.

If Smyly is sitting on your waiver wire, add him and stash him at the very least. We can't predict with certainty how he will perform, but he needs to at least be picked up and monitored for his next 1-2 starts. He may be able to pitch like the ace that he has shown flashes of down the stretch, and be an impact arm for fantasy owners down the home stretch. It should be fun to see how this all plays out.
