MidWeek Waiver Wire Watchlist for August

n this week’s WWWR, we have a top prospect debut (Mead), a number of veteran pitchers in the midst of strong stretches and some bats to boot. Could you be the first to Mahle? Zack Littell continues to effectively do what he is told and Steven Matz just about found his way on to the “Must-Add” list coming off his third straight quality start. Solid bunch this week. Go get them before your league mates do!
