About player availability in Fantasy Baseball

Choosing the best players for your team is crucial to winning your Fantasy Baseball league. Top prospects and new players are available at different times based on your league's settings and are subject to your team's waiver rules.

"New Players Become Available" setting locks post draft - Neither commissioners nor Yahoo Customer Care are able to edit this post-draft.

Player availability options

During spring training any player already in our system on a MLB 40-man roster may show as "active" until the regular season begins.

  • "As soon as Yahoo adds them" option - Players are available as soon as they're added to a team's 40-man roster. While players outside the 25-man roster can’t be used until after September 1st, you can claim your stake early.
  • "Wait until called up to the Majors" option - Players won’t be available until they’ve been called up to the Majors and are part of a team’s 25-man roster.
