Colson Montgomery - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for Week 20 of the 2025 MLB season. These are free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.

The MLB season continues to fly by, and incredibly, we will already be entering the middle of August. It may be the heart of the fantasy football draft season to some, but there is still plenty of baseball left to be played. At RotoBaller HQ, we prepare you for another week of the waiver wire and have updated our top 100 hitter and pitcher list for Week 20 of the MLB season -- August 11th - August 17th. Find out where key players such as Luke Keaschall, Colson Montgomery, Jakob Marsee, Zebby Matthews, Kristian Campbell, and Samuel Basallo are listed for Week 20.

It is essential to stay on top of the player news as we guide you through injuries, prospect call-ups, recent hot streaks, and closer role changes. Minnesota Twins infielder Luke Keaschall continues to rake since being activated from the injured list, hitting .412 (7-for-18) with two doubles, a home run, and eight RBI over his last four games. Chicago White Sox infielder Colson Montgomery has homered five times and driven in 11 runs over his previous 44 plate appearances. Baltimore Orioles top prospect Samuel Basallo, who is expected to get the call to the show soon, has homered three times in his last four games. 

For those searching for injury replacements or whose teams need a boost, we have you covered with our latest fantasy baseball waiver wire rankings for various league sizes to help you prioritize your waiver wire decisions. Good luck on waivers this week, RotoBallers!
