St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright was excellent on Friday, tossing seven innings while allowing just one run on five hits. He struck out eight and did not issue a walk. It was vintage Wainwright in this one, as he kept the Pirates off balance throughout his seven innings of work. He threw just 92 pitches, but the Cardinals couldn't score more than one run, so despite Wainwright's effort the Cardinals ended up with a loss.

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Adam Wainwright struggled on Sunday, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks in five innings of work. The loss evened his record at 3-3 and moved his ERA up to 4.46. Wainwright has been solid in several of his starts, but he's had some rough ones as well. He's likely to continue being somewhat inconsistent and is a better option in DFS leagues than in season-long formats.

Every week in baseball, a significant player will hit the disabled list, slip into a slump, or get traded out of a good spot. How fantasy owners adapt to these situations can make or break the season as a whole. One lousy add might not hurt the long-term standing of a team, but failing to take advantage of breakouts or impact bats before others sure can.The primary challenge of playing in an NL or AL-only league is often the lack of options regarding adding and subtracting players when needed. I[...]
