Dan's top hitter streamers and starts as fantasy baseball waiver wire adds for Week 13 of 2026 (June 22 - June 28). He analyzes streamers with favorable matchups, schedules.
The waiver wire continues to be ripe, and those managers who are willing to be aggressive and add hitters from week to week in order to maximize their games played will be rewarded in their head-to-head leagues!
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 13 of the fantasy baseball season!

Week 13 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!
Sam Antonacci, 2B/3B/OF - CHW (26%)
One of my favorite pick-ups this week is the White Sox rookie Antonacci. He's starting to flash some power with three home runs over the last two weeks and led off yesterday's game with a solo shot.

— MLB (@MLB) June 20, 2026
He's hitting .353 over this most recent two-week stretch and has been a great source of runs and batting average. It feels like he's coming into his own and starting to be a much more consistent hitter now that he has 57 games under his belt.
Jake Burger, 1B - TEX (24%)
Burger is firmly back on the radar as he extended his hitting streak to seven games yesterday with another home run.

— MLB (@MLB) June 20, 2026
He's slowly raising that batting average, too, sitting at .249 going into today's game. He's a great guy to use when he gets hot, and he's hitting .366 over the last two weeks.
TJ Rumfield, 1B - COL (24%)
Rumfield is absolutely on fire right now with four home runs over the last ten days. He's hitting for average, too, raising his season mark to .280 during this hot stretch. He's still far too lightly rostered for his consistent production at the plate.
Spencer Horwitz, 1B - PIT (23%)
Horwitz led off the game with his tenth home run of the season last night, and continues to be an underrated fantasy asset at first base.
Spencer Horwitz, professional bat dropper. 👊

— Pittsburgh Pirates (@Pirates) June 21, 2026
He's scored ten runs over the last two weeks out of the leadoff spot and is contributing across the board other than steals. What does this guy have to do to get picked up in more leagues?
Daulton Varsho, OF - TOR (23%)
Varsho made his way back into the Blue Jays' lineup yesterday after missing most of June with an injury. He wasted no time getting it going at the plate with a solo home run that sparked a late-inning comeback.

— Toronto Blue Jays (@BlueJays) June 20, 2026
Toronto badly needs offense, and Varsho should probably be picked up in standard leagues with his track record.
Samad Taylor, 2B/OF - SDP (17%)
Taylor has come out of virtually nowhere to become the Padres' most consistent hitter; it's pretty wild. He's hitting .372 and has been a run-scoring machine with 11 runs scored in 12 games. The speedster has swiped four bags, too, and has settled in as the number two hitter in the lineup because of his on-base skills.
There's really no way to know if he can keep this up, but I'm fine with picking him up and riding the hot hand for as long as it lasts.
Nasim Nunez, 2B/SS - WAS (17%)
Nunez had been struggling pretty badly at the plate this year, but has picked it up of late, hitting .406 over the last two weeks to raise his average to .230 on the year. He's a menace on the basepaths with 27 steals this year, and if he's going to keep getting on base at a high rate, those steals could keep coming in bunches.
Blaze Jordan, 1B/3B - STL (16%)
We know Jordan has big-time power, but he's shown a nice hit tool so far, too, hitting .300 through his first eight MLB games. He could feast on the Arizona pitching staff here to start the week; they've been just awful this season.
Cole Carrigg, OF - COL (16%)
I'm still very intrigued by the Rockies' switch-hitting rookie. He's clubbed three home runs in his first 11 games and was a solid base-stealer in the minors, so those steals could still be coming yet.
Josh Bell, 1B - MIN (13%)
Bell ranks seventh overall (yes, you read that right) in 5x5 leagues on Yahoo over the last two weeks! He's hitting .362 with four home runs, 12 RBI, and nine runs scored.

I know he's a guy who usually bounces on and off the wire all season, but he looks like a strong add right now with how he's been hitting the baseball. And a player with 47 RBI on the season just really shouldn't be sitting on waivers in any kind of competitive league!
Jake McCarthy, OF - COL (12%)
McCarthy was dropped in a lot of leagues when he missed five games last week, but since he's returned to the lineup, he's collected a hit in each of the last five games, including an inside-the-park home run last night.

— MLB (@MLB) June 21, 2026
He's hitting .292 with 11 steals and should continue to lead off for Colorado. Add him for batting average, runs scored, and steals!
Blaze Alexander, 2B/3B/SS/OF - BAL (11%)
I've been hesitant to recommend Alexander because he's mainly a platoon player in Baltimore, but he just keeps hitting and is now up to .303 on the season with 20 runs scored and 8 steals. I think he'll continue to find at-bats as long as he keeps producing, so give him a look if you need a super utility player.
Henry Bolte, OF - ATH (10%)
Bolte is a repeat from last week, but I have to keep him here as he had a very productive week, hitting his second home run and stealing two more bases.
Matt Shaw, 3B/OF - CHC (8%)
Shaw has enjoyed a solid run over the last five games, scoring six runs and driving in another seven runs. He homered yesterday and should continue to find his way into the lineup.

Caleb Durbin, 2B/3B - BOS (8%)
Durbin is enjoying a major power surge right now, hitting four home runs over the last two weeks after having only one dinger through his first 60 games.

— Red Sox (@RedSox) June 20, 2026
He has been working with a private hitting coach, and apparently it's having a pretty positive impact. It's tough to know if this production can stick long-term, but he's worth a look in the meantime.
Cooper Pratt, SS - MIL (6%)
The impressive 21-year-old rookie is off to a solid start with a .375 batting average and three stolen bases through his first five games. He looks pretty comfortable out there and could end up being a solid source of average, runs, and steals if he keeps the starting job long term.
Anthony Volpe, SS - NYY (6%)
It's been a disappointing season overall for Volpe, but he's showing some signs of life lately, hitting .344 over the last two weeks. He's making contact more often and drawing more walks, which bodes well for his outlook.
Week 13 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.
- Garrett Mitchell, OF - MIL (5%)
- Logan O'Hoppe, C - LAA (5%)
- Owen Caissie, OF - MIA (4%)
- Victor Caratini, C/1B - MIN (3%)
- Trevor Larnach, OF - MIN (3%)
- Joe Mack, C - MIA (2%)
- Lane Thomas, OF - KCR (2%)
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!
