Week 15 Waiver Wire Rankings - Fantasy Baseball Pickups Include TJ Friedl, Anthony Volpe, Aroldis Chapman, Brayan Bello, more

TJ Friedl - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 15 of the 2023 MLB season. These are free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.

Welcome back RotoBallers, to another edition of the fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 15 -- July 3 through July 9. We have one more week until the All-Star break and are about halfway through the regular season. More top prospects are being called up to the big leagues, and some are producing for fantasy managers immediately. Jordan Westburg and Dominic Fletcher were recently promoted. Top prospects such as Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Colton Cowser, James Wood, Dominic Canzone, and Grayson Rodriguez are patiently waiting for a promotion to the majors. 

Fantasy managers might have some injured stars return soon, such as New York Yankees left-hander Carlos Rodon (back, forearm), who is expected to make his season debut on July 7 against the Cubs, while Detroit Tigers southpaws Tarik Skubal (elbow) and Eduardo Rodriguez (finger) will return to action this week. Notable injury notes include Shane McClanahan (back) and Royce Lewis (oblique), who were both placed on the injured list. Corbin Carroll (shoulder), Masataka Yoshida (leg), and Jeremy Pena (neck) are considered day-to-day. The ball is flying out of the yard as offenses are heating up. We are here to help sort it all out with our latest waiver wire rankings article.

This week's waiver wire rankings feature players such as Jordan Westburg, TJ Friedl, Anthony Volpe, Gavin Williams, Will Benson, Brayan Bello, Tommy Pham, Scott McGough, Aroldis Chapman, Will Brennan, Kolby Allard, Dominic Fletcher, Carlos Santana, Clarke Schmidt, Trevor May, Jose Miranda, Garrett Whitlock and where they rank, among others. Read more to see where these players rank in the waiver wire rankings for Week 15.

Week 15 Waiver Wire Roundup for Fantasy Baseball

Just like any other week, we have put together a full assortment of fantasy baseball waiver wire articles. You can see that full roundup below to help prepare you for Sunday night's waiver wire runs for leagues with weekly transactions.

For those who are not familiar, our team's fantasy baseball waiver wire articles get published on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays each week. First up is our closers and saves waiver wire report by David Marcillo, followed by our two-start pitcher streamers article by Pranav Uppalapati, and then the top hitter streamers by Dawn Tepper, released late each week to give you a head start on the week ahead.

For you premium subscribers, you get our overall waiver wire article, compliments of Nick Mariano. These will give you a solid overview of the waiver wire options. RotoBaller's resident points league guru Nick Gaut brings you his weekly points league pickups for hitters.

In addition to these articles, we also dig deeper for each position with individual waiver wire articles: starting pitcher pickups, outfield pickups, 2B and SS pickups, 1B and 3B pickups, deep fantasy hitter pickups, and players to consider dropping.

 

Who To Pickup for Fantasy Baseball Week 15?

Are you looking for a more direct and structured list of prioritized players to add off the waiver wire? This article is the final piece of the weekly waiver wire pickups series. Its goal is to show you our weekly ranking for the relevant waiver wire pickup options, including how to prioritize them for your league (depending on the league size).

So below, you will find the overall rankings list. Below that, each individual position is in priority order. Hopefully, this helps you win your waiver wire this week!
