Fantasy Baseball managers looking for a competitive edge in Week 20 can turn to a handful of under‑the‑radar pitchers who remain on the waiver wire in the majority of CBS Sports leagues.
Scott White’s latest column outlines ten such sleepers, each of which is rostered in no more than 80 percent of leagues, making them attractive streaming candidates when a team’s rotation is thin.
Streaming Pitchers: A Viable Strategy
Streaming — picking up a pitcher just for a single scoring period — has become a common tactic when reliable starters are scarce. White notes that the approach carries inherent risk, as the performances of lesser‑known arms can be unpredictable.
According to the article, only the top two or three of the ten recommendations qualify as strong endorsements. The remaining pitchers are presented as fallback options for managers who need to fill a slot but are willing to accept volatility.
The suggested pool covers the scoring period of August 3‑9, 2026, and White warns that significant changes to the list are likely after the trade deadline on Monday at 6 p.m. ET, when roster moves could reshape availability.
The column was updated early Monday morning, underscoring the timeliness of the advice as league owners scramble to lock in their lineups before the deadline.
