Drew Smyly (SP, TBR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All leagues

OWNED IN: 71% of Yahoo Leagues

ANALYSIS: Drew Smyly was one of my sleepers going into 2015, but a shoulder injury has kept him out until this point. He made his first start at Toronto and lasted 4 2/3 innings with two earned runs and five strikeouts. Smyly was strong in his three rehab outings, holding his opponents scoreless over 8.2 innings.

Smyly was acquired from Detroit in the David Price blockbuster last year, and was stellar for the Rays in seven starts, compiling a 1.70 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and a 44/11 K/BB ratio over 47.2 innings. Your league opponents may have let Smyly slip through the cracks, considering he’s available in 29% of Yahoo leagues. Don’t be scared off by his first start; the team is going to be wise in getting his pitch count back up to normal. He’s a must add.
