Esteury Ruiz a Waiver-Wire Target With Stolen Base Upside?
Miami Marlins outfielder Esteury Ruiz isn't the flashiest name in fantasy baseball as he hovers near the Mendoza line, but his ability to steal bases still makes him an intriguing waiver wire addition. He is slashing .200/.219/.467 with two homers, a 3% walk rate, and a 28% strikeout rate across 19 games (32 plate appearances). Interestingly, he has reached base seven times and has stolen seven bases, reminding fans and managers just how successful he can be on the basepaths. He's also tapped into a little more power (albeit over a small sample size), keeping his wRC+ at a mark of 79. Playing time has been hard to come by for Ruiz, largely due to the fact that he isn't getting on base a lot. However, his power and speed combo still makes him an intriguing waiver wire addition, especially if he gets in the lineup more often. He's widely available in most leagues, with a current roster share of just 1%.
