Fantasy Baseball Wagner has final rehab outing Friday

Wagner has final rehab outing Friday

Posted by DuckSnort 1 hour 54 minutes ago  http://ownersedge.fanball.com

The News According to the New York Daily News, Billy Wagner will make his final rehab appearance with Single-A St. Lucie on Friday night. Our View Assuming Wagner doesn't re-injure himself in his final rehab outing he will rejoin the Mets bullpen on Sunday. He will obviously be a setup man behind K-Rod, but could be trade bait for a team in need of a closer the rest of the way. He may be a sneaky grab in keeper leagues right now. The Mets hold an $8 million, 2010 option on the hard-throwing lefty with a $1 million buyout, but it's highly unlikely they'll exercise it. Read More

Having missed the entire season to this point, he will be a risky fantasy start upon his return, but comes with plenty of upside. Read More
