Luke Weaver To Start Sunday rotoballer.com Fri 8/31/18 9:04 AM

St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Luke Weaver will get the nod to start Sunday against the Reds, pushing starting pitcher Jack Flaherty back to Monday. Weaver was recently demoted to the bullpen, so he's a risky streaming proposition for this game, even in a good matchup against Cincinnati. On the year, the 25-year-old is 7-11 with a 4.59 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and career-low 7.9 K/9 in 27 outings (24 starts).

Week 21 Waiver Wire - Starting Pitchers rotoballer.com Wed 8/22/18 4:00 AM

I hope you're all ready to do whatever it takes in these last six weeks of the season to win. It might mean dropping a big name for a streamer or, if you still have trades, "losing the trade" to win the league. Don't be shy about your needs and don't be ignorant of how many innings you and your opponents have left in roto formats. Don't overlook how your H2H playoff opponent's rosters are constructed. This is crunch time. If you want to chat more about additional arms/bats/whatever, you can f[...]

Luke Weaver To Bullpen, Daniel Poncedeleon To Start Tuesday rotoballer.com Sun 8/19/18 9:46 AM

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Luke Weaver is being moved to the bullpen in favor of starter Daniel Poncedeleon, who will start on Tuesday against the Dodgers, according to manager Mike Shildt. Weaver has been too inconsistent, going 6-11 with a 4.67 ERA, 1.42 [...]

Luke Weaver Cannot Finish the Fourth Inning On Thursday rotoballer.com Thu 8/16/18 7:54 PM

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Luke Weaver was unable to complete the fourth inning on Thursday. He ended up pitching just 3 2/3 innings, allowing four runs (two earned) on seven hits and a walk. He struck out just one and threw 71 pitches to get just 11 outs. It was a rough outing for Weaver, whose record dropped to 6-11. Meanwhile, his ERA went up to 4.67. He's had some good outings, but he's been far too inconsistent to be a reliable fantasy option in most leagues.

Luke Weaver To Start Thursday rotoballer.com Wed 8/15/18 2:18 PM

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Luke Weaver (finger) will move up to start Thursday against the Nationals. That will push starter Jack Flaherty to Friday against the Brewers. Weaver's overall numbers on the year don't look that great (4.66 ERA), but he has fanned 111 hitters in 121 2/3 innings and hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in a start since a blowup on June 30 against the Braves. He's a little bit more risky than usual after being scratched on Sunday.

It's crunch time for fantasy baseball leagues and the head-to-head playoffs are less than month away from starting.
