Fantasy baseball analyst Fred Zinkie highlights several New York Mets players as appealing waiver wire options during a challenging season. Christian Scott, a starting pitcher noted for his solid performance post-injury, alongside hitters Francisco Alvarez and A.J. Ewing, are particularly recommended for managers seeking boosts in their lineups. Alvarez is recovering from injury but has shown recent power, and Ewing's speed offers additional value. With the upcoming trade deadline, the Mets may be looking to enhance their roster, making their current players potential assets in fantasy league considerations.
- •Christian Scott holds a 3.13 ERA, touted as an untouchable asset by the Mets.
- •Francisco Alvarez has improved significantly, hitting.286 with two home runs in July.
- •A.J. Ewing has contributed with a.292 average, five home runs, and four steals over the past month.
- •Shane Drohan and Keider Montero are emerging pitchers to monitor for potential roster spots.
- •Managers might consider acquisitions from the struggling Mets as they eye a better second half.
