Dan's top hitter streamers and starts as fantasy baseball waiver wire adds for Week 11 of 2026 (June 8 - June 14). He analyzes streamers with favorable matchups, schedules.
After one week off, I'm back with my top hitter streamers to consider for the upcoming week of fantasy baseball. I was able to catch my hometown Pirates in person last weekend and saw them pile up 25 runs on the Minnesota Twins in a sweep. A few Pirates' hitters make the column this week, too, including our cover athlete Nick Gonzales and first baseman Spencer Horwitz.
My weekly hitters, streamers, fantasy baseball waiver-wire pickups column will identify hitters with favorable matchups who can be considered for waiver-wire pickups or streamers ahead of Sunday night's waiver-wire runs in leagues with weekly transactions. Because of format changes to Yahoo leagues this year, the players featured in this article are rostered in 30% or fewer leagues on Yahoo (yes, I'm increasing this number as the wire is already getting picked over pretty aggressively this season).
You can also check out the rest of our fantasy baseball streamer content here at RotoBaller. Now, let's see which hitters we should consider grabbing off the wire as we roll into Week 11 of the fantasy baseball season!

Week 11 Fantasy Baseball Hitter Streamers
I'll recommend only players who are rostered in 30 percent or fewer leagues, and all roster percentages are from Yahoo!
Nick Gonzales, 2B/SS/3B - PIT (27%)
We have a lot of bats to cover today, including a surprising number of middle infielders who are making a big impact for their teams on offense. Gonzales certainly qualifies there, as the Pirates righty continues to be a run producer in 2026.

— Platinum Key (@PlatinumKey13) June 6, 2026
Gonzales has only two home runs this year, but both have come in the last week. He's been hot at the plate all year, but lately has turned it up a notch with nine RBI and 11 runs scored during his 8-game hitting streak.
Curtis Mead, 1B/2B/3B - WAS (27%)
Mead isn't hitting for an elite average like Gonzales at just .247, but has shown some nice pop at the plate with nine home runs this year. Four of those have come in the last two weeks, and he ranks inside the top 40 during that stretch.
Curtis Mead continues his breakout 2026 season in Washington with another HR, his 9th of the year.
His Hard-Hit% is up 10%, he’s chasing less, and his Barrel% is 10.3%, more than double what it was last season.

— Running From The OPS (@OPS_BASEBALL) June 6, 2026
He's locked into a top-3 spot in the Washington lineup, and his recent production has led to fewer days off against RHP. He makes for a great pickup if you need some depth at the infield positions.
Colt Emerson, 3B/SS - SEA (26%)
The Seattle rookie has shown that he belongs at the MLB level despite being just 20 years old. His .850 OPS through his first 18 games is incredibly promising, even if he is striking out around 29% of the time.

— MLB Pipeline (@MLBPipeline) June 6, 2026
Emerson should only improve with more experience against MLB pitching. If you are a believer in his talent, the buy-low window could be closing quickly.
Sam Antonacci, 2B/3B/OF - CHW (26%)
Yet another rookie, Antonacci, has popped up on our radar again after scoring six runs in his last five games. He's not going to provide much power, but he's a solid add for AVG, R, and SB as he has eight steals already this year.
Jung Hoo Lee, OF - SFG (26%)
If you remember, I was imploring you all to pick up Lee several weeks ago, as I have always been a big fan of his hit tool. Well, if you didn't listen to me then, perhaps the fact that he's hitting .595 over the last two weeks with 10 runs scored might convince you to add him now?
22+ hits in a 9-game span, Giants last 95 years:
2026 Jung Hoo Lee
1958 Willie Mays
1953 Whitey Lockman
1932 Bill Terry— Sarah Langs (@SlangsOnSports) June 6, 2026
The Giants' offense has come to life lately, and Lee is locked in at the plate. Add him in all formats; he can be a big boon to your offense if he keeps hitting like this.
Royce Lewis, 3B - MIN (22%)
Lewis was crushing Triple-A pitching during his stint in the minors. He went 0-3 in his first game back, but should get another extended audition with the Twins, and makes for a pretty solid speculative add for the upcoming week.
Jake McCarthy, OF - COL (20%)
"Rake" McCarthy keeps on producing for fantasy managers, and I am not sure what managers in 80% of Yahoo leagues are waiting for. The former Arizona outfielder is having an excellent season in Colorado with 22 runs, 26 RBI, and 11 stolen bases.
Jake stays hustling 🏃 pic.twitter.com/3PLEiqNZPq
— Colorado Rockies (@Rockies) June 6, 2026
He's been leading off for Colorado over the last week, and that lineup spot only adds to his fantasy value. Mickey Moniak is set to return soon, but it is unlikely to affect McCarthy's playing time and is much more likely to affect Sterlin Thompson and Troy Johnston.
Spencer Horwitz, 1B - PIT (20%)
Horwitz finally cooled off a bit this week, but has held on to the leadoff spot for the Bucs against RHP. His ability to get on base by hitting for average and drawing walks makes him an ideal leadoff option despite not being a base-stealer.
He's showing some solid power this year with seven home runs through the first third of the season. This Pirates offense is GOOD, and Horwitz has been a big part of it. His role feels very secure, and he's badly undervalued in fantasy leagues right now.
Bryce Eldridge, 1B - SFG (16%)
Another Giants hitter to consider this week has to be rookie first baseman Bryce Eldridge. The lefty took some time to acclimate to big league pitching, but has been red-hot over the last two weeks, hitting .400 with 11 runs scored as the San Francisco offense is finally awake.
Bryce Eldridge since May 23rd:
.436 AVG
.511 OBP
.667 SLG
1.177 OPSAmong all qualified hitters over that span, he has the highest average, third highest on-base percentage and fourth highest OPS
pic.twitter.com/O7lxPW3xl3— Kirk Snyder (@dynastyinfo411) June 6, 2026
He's hit only two home runs so far, but there's power there based on his minor league profile. The good news is that he's making really solid contact now, so take the good batting average and run production. The power will come eventually!
Joc Pederson, UTIL - TEX (11%)
Speaking of power, Joc Pederson is on a home run bender! He's gone yard five times in the last two weeks while driving in 12 runs for the Rangers.

— Just Baseball (@JustBB_Media) June 4, 2026
He's leading off against RHP for Texas currently, and the Rangers are getting some big bats back from injury with Corey Seager and Wyatt Langford hitting behind him. He has been notoriously streaky in his career, but when he's running hot, he can put up stats in big numbers. Ride the hot bat as long as it lasts!
Paul Goldschmidt, 1B - NYY (10%)
Goldy is quietly putting up top-100 production the last two weeks, smacking two home runs while driving in nine runs for the Yankees. With Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton both out, he should get regular playing time going forward and is too good a hitter to be this lightly rostered.
Spencer Jones, OF - NYY (8%)
The other Yankee, and perhaps more exciting option, is rookie Spencer Jones. He didn't do much with his first cup of coffee with the Yankees back in May, but he should have a big opportunity to make an impact with Judge's injury keeping him out at least six weeks. He went 3-3 yesterday and has massive potential both as a home run hitter and base stealer.
Colton Cowser, OF - BAL (7%)
Yes, Cowser is in a platoon in the outfield, but he has been so hot at the plate that the Orioles are still finding ways to get him into games as a pinch hitter in the late innings, as he has had an at-bat in 13 straight games.

— Baltimore Orioles (@Orioles) June 6, 2026
He had a few dramatic walk-off home runs in back-to-back games in May, but has continued his hot hitting into June with two more home runs this week and seven RBI. Don't forget he was once one of their top prospects before struggling with injuries last year.
Kody Clemens, 1B/2B/OF - MIN (6%)
The Twins are a sneaky team for low-owned offensive players, and there's no reason that Clemens is just 6% rostered. He's hitting in the top third of the lineup and has four home runs over the last two weeks to go with eight RBI and eight runs scored.
Michael Massey, 2B/OF - KCR (5%)
Let's hope Brandon Lowe is okay (I am saying prayers hourly), but if he ends up on the IL after getting hurt yesterday, then Massey might be the best second baseman with power on the wire. He's smacked three home runs over his last seven games, giving him six on the year and raising his average to .265 on the season.
Week 11 Deep League Fantasy Baseball Hitter Streamers
Some widely available hitters (under 5% rostered) could be worth a look this week due to hot starts at the plate or strong matchups.
- Brandon Valenzuela, C/1B - TOR (5%)
- Dominic Canzone, OF - SEA (4%)
- Lars Nootbaar, OF - STL (3%)
- Nathan Lukes, OF - TOR (3%)
- Jake Mangum, OF - PIT (2%)
- Tristan Gray, 2B/SS/3B - MIN (2%)
- Wade Meckler, OF - LAA (2%)
- Jared Young, 1B/OF - NYM (1%)
Good luck this week, and choose those streaming options wisely! As always, thanks for making RotoBaller your choice for fantasy baseball content all season long!
