Kendrys Morales (1B, TOR) - Week 13 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 14% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Even at the age of 35, we did not know how long Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Kendrys Morales could defy the hands of time. The 2018 season has demonstrated that yet again no one escapes, as he struggled to open the season. As Morales struggled to a .499 OPS through April, the whole fantasy world moved on.

Well, 12 weeks later, Morales has started showing glimpses of his younger self. On the season, Morales has 10 doubles, seven homers, and a .243 average. However, in the last couple weeks, he hit three homers with a slash line of .421/.463/.763. Over the last seven days, Morales is hitting .474 with two home runs, four RBI, and five runs scored. Morales is even hitting the ball hard, with a 44.2% hard hit rate. He may have to try hard this week to continue his success as he faces the Astros, but then has a better matchup against the Tigers at home.
