Mid-Week Waiver Wire Rankings - Fantasy Baseball Pickups Include Chandler Simpson, Jac Caglianone, Otto Lopez, Emmet Sheehan, Colson Montgomery

Otto Lopez - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Mid-week fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 14 (2025). Free-agent hitters and pitchers to add include Chandler Simpson, Jac Caglianone, Otto Lopez, Emmet Sheehan, Colby Thomas.

Welcome back, RotoBallers, for more waiver wire advice! We are at the home stretch of the first half of the MLB regular season, with the All-Star break just two weeks away. There is still plenty of baseball left, and waiver wire pickups who can instantly upgrade your fantasy teams. At RotoBaller HQ, we are here with more fantasy advice to help crush your leagues with our mid-week waiver rankings for Week 14-- June 30  through July 6 in leagues that allow daily moves. Find out where Chandler Simpson, Jac Caglianone, Otto Lopez, Emmet Sheehan, Colby Thomas, and more are listed in our updated waiver wire rankings. 

There are key performances, prospect promotions, and injuries to watch for this week. The Oakland A's promoted top prospect Colby Thomas on Monday. He will primarily come off the bench against left-handers and could earn some starts. Miami Marlins infielder Otto Lopez continues to rake and is slashing .354/.426/.521 with two home runs and 15 RBI over his last 12 games. Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez suffered a setback after experiencing renewed soreness in his injured hand. Spencer Schwellenbach was diagnosed with a fractured elbow on Wednesday and won't pitch until September. 

For anyone unfamiliar, we release all sorts of fantasy baseball waiver wire articles every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. As part of that, Nick Mariano releases our waiver wire rankings list on Sundays to help you prioritize which players to target as free-agent adds off waivers. Stay on top of our weekly waiver wire rankings and turn on MLB news alerts to stay ahead of the curve. Once you're done here, check out our fantasy baseball prospects articles for the latest names to stash and pick up.

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups List

Since many fantasy baseball leagues have daily waiver-wire moves or multiple waiver-wire runs per week for adding players, this mid-week rankings list should help you keep track of players emerging in the middle of the week before we reach Sunday. This article will guide you through our weekly ranking of the relevant waiver-wire pickup options, including how to prioritize them for your league (depending on the league size).
