Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups Week 20 featuring Jackson Holliday and Tyler Fitzgerald

The fantasy baseball season is coming to a pivotal period of the calendar as the playoffs lurk around the corner like an eavestrough that has come unscrewed. After an intense season that was headlined by devastating injuries to top picks such as Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuna Jr., managers will hope to keep their rosters healthy and red-hot heading into the final weeks of the year.

To have the best roster possible, fantasy baseball managers need to make sure that they are staying on top of trending players, the latest injuries and which players have turned the corner. The fantasy waiver wire can either be a manager's best friend or kryptonite as the season winds down. There are several intriguing players that managers should add before their opponents beat them to it.

Here's a look at two players to add off the fantasy baseball waiver wire right now

Jackson Holliday

Things did not go to plan for the Baltimore Orioles' top prospect, Jackson Holliday. After coming into the season with a runaway train of hype on him, Holliday's rookie campaign barely made it out of the gates during his first stint in the majors.

Even so, after being demoted after only 10 games, Jackson Holliday has risen like a phoenix and been a completely different player since being recalled to the majors. In his second stint, Holliday has racked up a .389 batting average with two home runs and seven RBIs in only five games.

This level of production is why fantasy baseball managers need to pounce on the Orioles rookie before their opponents beat them to him. Given his prospect pedigree and success in the minor leagues, Holliday could be a league-winning addition at this stage of the season. His ownership percentage continues to rise, so act fast or you could miss out on a potential star.

Tyler Fitzgerald

Tyler Fitzgerald might be as sexy of a pickup as Jackson Holliday; however, he could become the more valuable fantasy baseball asset moving forward. While Holliday is all potential, Fitzgerald has been doing it for a larger sample size.

The San Francisco Giant has been a contributor across nearly every category, crushing dingers and stealing bases in the process. Aside from crushing at the plate, Fitzgerald is eligible at both outfield and shortstop in most fantasy leagues, which makes him a flexible option.
