The final week of the MLB season has finally arrived! With fantasy baseball ending this week, it's the last chance to make any waiver wire moves to help secure those fantasy baseball championships. At RotoBaller HQ, we updated our top 100 hitter and pitcher list for Week 26 of the MLB season -- September 22nd to September 28th to help you navigate the waiver wire and win your leagues. Let's hoist the hardware together! Find out where key players such as Daylen Lile, Ian Seymour, Trey Yesavage, Sal Stewart, and Giancarlo Stanton are listed in our updated rankings.

Washington Nationals outfielder Daylen Lile has been one of the hottest hitters in September, slashing .370/.425/.753 with four home runs, 13 RBI, 16 runs, and a stolen base over 19 games. Tampa Bay Rays left-hander Ian Seymour cruised past the Blue Jays in his last start, allowing one unearned run on four hits and one walk while striking out three over seven innings. Toronto Blue Jays prospect Trey Yesavage was impressive in his MLB debut on Monday, striking out nine over five innings.
