Luis Garcia: is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for hitters heading into Week 9 (2023). Target Garcia as a free agent second baseman or shortstop on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Luis Garcia (2B) isn't as high-end of a prospect as some of the other names above, but he's got some solid pedigree himself and has settled nicely into the two-hole of a surprisingly scrappy Nationals lineup.

— FanGraphs Baseball (@fangraphs) May 17, 2023
Garcia has seven hits in his last six games and is on base constantly thanks to a minuscule 12% K-rate that ranks in the 93rd percentile among all players. Toss in a .282 xBA and an 88.3 MPH average exit velocity that is a full MPH better than last year and you've got a solid MI option in deeper fantasy formats.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: Unlike many players currently in the minor leagues, Chandler Simpson has proven he can be a valuable fantasy player at the MLB level.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Samuel Basallo might be the best hitter in the minors right now, and he has catcher eligibility.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]
