Pirates Bring Griffin Back, DFA Bethancourt in Late-Season Shuffle

The Pittsburgh Pirates reinstated infielder Konnor Griffin from the 60-day injured list and designated catcher Christian Bethancourt for assignment as part of late-season roster moves; they also recalled right-hander Isaac Mattson and optioned left-hander Brandon Eisert. Griffin, who has battled a torn tendon in his left ring finger and other injuries, is expected to retake the regular shortstop job down the stretch, while Bethancourt (added to the 40-man roster Sept. 1) must clear waivers to remain with the team as they revert to a two-catcher setup. The club sits 69-72, five games back of a playoff spot, with a few weeks left to make a run.

"Fantasy Baseball Week 9-10: Waiver Wire Targets and Advanced Metrics Leaders"

This week's fantasy baseball waiver wire targets include Christian Bethancourt, Zach McKinstry, Ronny Mauricio, Michael Conforto, and Bobby Miller. Bethancourt is a good matchup play against lefties, McKinstry has been a surprise for the Tigers with a new approach at the plate, Mauricio has been crushing pitchers in AAA and could make an immediate impact if called up, Conforto is surging and should be added where available, and Miller looked great in his debut for the Dodgers and is worth consideration in all formats. Gallegos seems to have taken over as the closer for the Cardinals and needs to be added and considered the primary closer for fantasy purposes.
