Fantasy Baseball Player News

Konnor Griffin, Pittsburgh Pirates

According to Jason Mackey, the Pittsburgh Pirates are promoting top infield prospect Konnor Griffin to the MLB roster ahead of their home opener on Friday. Griffin was in serious contention to break camp with the MLB roster despite not playing a single game at the Triple-A level. In spring training, the former ninth overall pick launched four home runs while going 5-for-24 at the dish.

As a result, the Pirates opted to send Griffin to Triple-A for a brief stint. In this five-game appearance, Griffin would flash high-end upside, posting a .438/.571/.625 slash line with three doubles and three stolen bases. Last summer, Griffin appeared in 122 games, spent primarily in the lower levels and hit for a .333 AVG with 21 HRs and 65 SBs. Given his high-end five-category upside, Griffin should be viewed as a must-roster middle infielder in all formats going forward.

Joey Wiemer, Washington Nationals

Washington Nationals outfielder Joey Wiemer is absolutely on fire to open the 2026 campaign. Across 22 plate appearances, the 27-year-old is hitting .588/.682/1.059 with two home runs, four RBI, and seven runs scored. The righty-swinging Wiemer did not start Washington's season opener against a right-handed starter, but he's been in the lineup for each of the Nationals' last two matchups against righties.

Wiemer logged just MLB 61 plate appearances with the Miami Marlins in 2025, spending most of the year in Triple-A. Swing-and-miss has been a major issue for him to this point in his big league career, as he's struck out in 29.2% of his 521 career plate appearances in the Majors. However, Wiemer logged a 61.8% hard-hit rate in a small sample with Miami last season, so this early-season breakout is not entirely out of the blue.

While his numbers are sure to regress over a larger amount of playing time, Wiemer currently profiles as a priority waiver wire target for fantasy managers.

Marcus Semien, New York Mets

Veteran second baseman Marcus Semien has struggled out of the gates in his first season with the New York Mets, hitting .100/.240/.250 with zero home runs, zero RBI, and two runs scored across his first 25 plate appearances of 2026. New York acquired Semien over the offseason in a high-profile trade with the Texas Rangers, sending out fan-favorite outfielder Brandon Nimmo in return.

Semien's production at the plate has slowly been declining in recent years, as he hit .230/.305/.364 with 15 home runs, 62 RBI, 62 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases across 534 plate appearances with Texas in 2025. Swing-and-miss has been a major source of concern for Semien so far in New York, as he currently owns a 32% strikeout rate. The 35-year-old has posted strikeout rates below 18% in each of the last four seasons, so he should post better numbers over a larger sample size.

However, if he cannot cut down his whiffs, Semien could be in line for a steep drop-off at the plate in 2026.

Addison Barger, Toronto Blue Jays

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Addison Barger is off to a rough start to the 2026 season, as he's yet to record a hit across 16 plate appearances. The left-handed hitting Barger has also been out of Toronto's starting lineup each of the team's first two games against left-handed starting pitchers. Barger had a breakout year in 2025, hitting .243/.301/.454 with 21 home runs, 74 RBI, 61 runs scored, and four stolen bases across 502 plate appearances.

The 26-year-old posted an excellent 50.9% hard-hit rate and slugged .480 against right-handed pitching. Early in 2026, Barger has struck out in 37.5% of his plate appearances and owns a hard-hit rate of just 25%. While it's obviously still very early in the season, Barger could be at risk of losing even more playing time given the presence of quality bench outfielders Davis Schneider and Nathan Lukes in Toronto.
