One week after MLB's first pitch, the 2016 season received a major shake-up to the fantasy landscape.
Most teams aren't in a hurry to promote prospects, instead delaying their arbitration clocks while giving veterans the first stabs at sticking in a lineup. Over the weekend, however, two injuries opened a window for a pair of young guns.
Before their call-ups, Week 2's top waiver-wire recommendations featured role players rather than game-changers. A few forgettable guys demonstrated their values with hot starts, and others earned a boost due to clarified roles.
Those players can help, but even jaded fantasy managers perk up when a hot-shot prospect arrives to the big leagues. While astute gamers pounced on Sunday, some late adopters may still need a friendly reminder to act before the opportunity dissipates.
After surviving one week, let's take a look at several free agents available in more than half of Yahoo Sports leagues as of Sunday night.
