Joe Ross (SP, WAS) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 3% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Washington Nationals starting pitcher Joe Ross was set to make his 2018 debut on Sept. 7 against the Cubs, but that start was rained out. Washington opted to keep everyone else on schedule and push Ross’ turn back a week.

So now he due for a home start against the same Cubbies at home on Wednesday, which will be his first MLB appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery 14 months ago. He struck out 19 and walked eight over 26 ⅓ rehab innings and could offer a handful of useful starts in the final weeks of the season.
