Add these high-upside pitchers with stable roles to your fantasy baseball roster

As we hit the meat of the fantasy season, the “streaming” grind becomes a battle of attrition.Treading water with veteran innings-eaters is fine, but winning leagues requires chasing elite upside before the rest of your leaguemates wake up. This weekend, two young arms demand your attention — one a high-octane prospect on the verge of a call-up and the other a resilient rookie carving out a permanent role. The Brewers have a storied reputation for turning pitching prospects into fantasy gold, and Logan Henderson appears to be the next man up.
