roto rage Jarad Wilk The short-term pickups to help win your fantasy baseball league By Jarad Wilk Published Aug. 29, 2026, 3:18 p.m. ET Colorado Rockies second baseman Connor Norby (35) hits a grand slam during the seventh inning against the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect With the fantasy season running out of runway, it is time to forget about long-term sustainability. Now is the time to find the hottest bats sitting on the waiver wire, hop on board and ride the streak until the wheels fall off — or, preferably, until there is a trophy in your hands.
Connor Norby was Baltimore’s second-round pick in the 2021 draft. He played nine games for the O’s before being traded to the Marlins, where he mostly underwhelmed over parts of three injury-riddled seasons.
Norby, however, seems to have found his footing with the Rockies after being acquired at the trade deadline and called up on Aug. 10.
The 26-year-old hit .304 with two homers, nine RBIs, nine runs, two stolen bases and a .951 OPS in his first 15 games with Colorado. He entered the weekend with a 12-game hit streak, hitting .359 with a 1.060 OPS in that stretch.
