Aaron Altherr (OF, PHI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 12 percent of Fleaflicker leagues

ANALYSIS: Aaron Altherr earned some sleeper buzz in drafts this year after an encouraging debut with the Phillies last season (.827 OPS, five homers, six steals in 39 games). Unfortunately, he suffered a wrist injury in spring training that kept him on the disabled list until late last month. Since returning, he's picked up more or less where he left off. Through 13 games, Altherr has three homers, three steals, and has piled up 21 R+RBI. The toolsy 25 year old has a fair amount of swing-and-miss in his game, but compensates for that with above-average pitch recognition. He's available in the vast majority of leagues and makes for an excellent outfield option the rest of the way in most formats.
