Hello RotoBallers! Welcome back to another edition of our 7 Must-Adds ahead of Week 14 of the fantasy baseball season. The All-Star break is just a handful of weeks away, which means fantasy managers are slowly running out of time to find that potential high-impact lottery ticket on the waiver wire.

This week, we saw several prospects put together a song showing over their first taste of MLB action, which has put them on the waiver wire radar.

So, let's look at the best waiver wire targets!

2026 Fantasy Baseball Week 14 Waiver Wire Adds

Samad Taylor, 2B/OF, San Diego Padres

20% rostered

Samad Taylor appeared in the majors in brief stints over the last three years but has begun to carve out his first true full-time role in San Diego this season. Across his first 16 games with the Padres, the 27-year-old is not only becoming a staple of their lineup but also providing high fantasy upside.

Across this two-week stretch, Taylor has held a stellar .379/.438/.448 line with one double, one home run, 11 runs, 11 RBI, and an eye-catching six stolen bases. During this stint, Taylor has spent most of his time in the outfield and has recently become the leadoff option against both right-handed and left-handed pitching.

While his sample in the majors is relatively small, the potential breakout is supported by impressive underlying metrics that make him a worthy target in all standard fantasy leagues. The Corona HS product has generated an elite .292 xBA, which suggests he should remain a high-end source of batting age, even if his current .379 BA slightly drops.

Additionally, Taylor places in the 95th percentile in sprint speed and has posted a 28.0% squared-up rate. While his .364 xSLG and below-average hard-hit rate suggest he should take a step back in the power department, Taylor is emerging as a top asset for those needing a boost to their batting average with high-speed upside.

The other component of his profile worth noting is his solid 9.1% walk rate. Given that he should already maintain a high batting average, his solid walk rate will provide him with even more opportunities to showcase his speed on the basepaths.

Serving as the leadoff hitter in the San Diego lineup, Taylor should be given ample opportunities not only to cross home plate but also to steal a high total of bases as he looks to kick-start the offense. If he maintains a spot in this lineup, the 27-year-old could finish the season with over 20 stolen bases while holding a near .300 AVG.

Blaze Jordan, 1B/3B, St. Louis Cardinals

10% rostered

While several prospects like Cole Carrigg, Braden Montgomery, and even Cooper Pratt have stolen the headlines, Cardinals infielder Blaze Jordan also recently earned the call and has looked quite comfortable over his first MLB stint. The No. 25-ranked prospect in the system was enjoying a stellar start to the Triple-A regular season, which pushed him to the MLB roster.

At Triple-A, Jordan posted a dominant .313/.373/.548 slash line with 19 doubles, 11 home runs, and a 29:19 K:BB over 57 contests. This play earned him a ticket to the MLB roster and moved Nolan Gorman to the minor leagues.

Through his first 12 games in St. Louis, Jordan has held a .286/.298/.476 line with a solid .774 OPS. He has already hit three doubles, gone deep once, and tallied 12 RBI, despite batting in the back half of the starting lineup. Over this short stint, he has only gone hitless three times and has tallied multiple hits in four games as well.

While the sample is small, Jordan has generated a promising 46.3% hard-hit rate with a high-end 31.3% squared-up rate. His 73.2 mph average bat speed is well above the average marks and suggests there could be room for further power upside as he adjusts to MLB pitching. Additionally, his current 19.5% Pull AIR% places him above the average mark and is another positive indicator that he is not only impacting the ball hard (as shown by his hard-hit rate) but also optimizing his swing to hit more home runs.

Lastly, his low 8.5% K% makes him a strong target in a deep points league, looking for a corner infielder. With an everyday role in the lineup, Jordan's production should only continue to improve as he finds his footing against MLB pitching.

Denzer Guzman, 3B/SS, Los Angeles Angels

5% rostered

Guzman made his MLB debut last summer but was given only a short 13-game stint in Los Angeles and did not find much success, posting a .190/.209/.357 slash line with one double and two home runs. However, over his most recent stint this season, Guzman has taken a significant step forward and is now firmly on the fantasy radar.

Through 14 games in 2026, the team's No. 7-ranked prospect has held an improved .236/.311/.436 line. Guzman has already launched three home runs and swiped a bag while holding a 13:6 K:BB. While his stat line does not jump off the page, his underlying metrics are among the most impressive in this piece, suggesting there is room for far more upside.

The 22-year-old has generated a strong 45.2% hard-hit rate with a 74.0 mph average bat speed, both of which would place him above the average marks (if he logged enough at-bats).

However, the statistic that could set Guzman up for a breakout season is his high-end Pull AIR%. Currently, the 22-year-old has generated a stellar 21.4% Pull AIR%, which could set him up for a power binge in the coming weeks, especially when paired with his current bat speed and hard-hitting rate. Over 129 games in the minor leagues in the past season, Guzman has 17 home runs, suggesting the profile for a 20-HR campaign is in play.

If Guzman can maintain this Pull AIR% along with his hard-hit metrics, he could become a solid power source in the infield.

Jasson Dominguez, OF, New York Yankees

10% rostered

While Henry Bolte is the preferred target among outfielders, since we already spotlighted him last week, let's pivot to a post-hype breakout in Jasson Dominguez. Dominguez has yet to live up to his high-end prospect pedigree in the majors, but he could be turning the corner this season. With Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Trent Grisham all on the IL, Dominguez has seen a starting role for the past few weeks and has not disappointed.

Across his last 11 games (since returning from Triple-A), Dominguez has held a .250/.267/.477 line with two home runs and four stolen bases. However, his metrics suggest there could be room for even further improvement.

So far, the switch-hitting Martian holds a .270 xBA, which suggests his batting average should be due for some prominent positive regression. Also, his above-average 73.2 mph average bat speed paired with an 89.9 mph average exit velocity opens the door for more power production, especially when playing in Yankee Stadium.

Lastly, his sprint speed places him in the 84th percentile among qualified hitters, which should put him in a position to total double-digit bags, especially if he can show higher on-base skills as his xBA points towards.

While his playing time comes into question once Stanton, Grisham, and Judge return, for now, the 23-year-old should have an everyday role in this lineup and possess a five-category upside. He has begun to move into the top half of the starting lineup as well, which will only bolster his opportunities to earn counting stats.

Christian Scott, SP, New York Mets

15% rostered

The starting pitcher we will spotlight is Christian Scott of the Mets. Scott was a popular waiver issued about a month ago, but was placed on the 15-day IL two weeks ago, which caused many managers to cut ties. However, the former highly regarded prospect had a brief stint sidelined with a minor hip injury and is set to take the mound this weekend.

Over his first 36 innings of work in the majors this season, Scott posted a sharp 2.50 ERA with a 1.31 WHIP. During this stretch, Scott totaled 41 punchouts, but his rather high 18 walks (4.5 BB/9) raised his WHIP. Before hitting the IL, Scott turned in his worst outing of the season on June 11, allowing a season-high four runs to the Cardinals.

While his latest stint on the IL may have caused managers to cut ties, this may be one of the final weeks to acquire a potential high-end SP4.

Throughout the season, Scott has relied on a similar pitch-mix as shown in the video below. His fastball (four-seamer) leads his repertoire with a 50.6% usage rate, with his slider coming in as his No. 2 option (23.2% usage).

His four-seamer has generated a solid .240 xBA with 23.2% whiff rate while his sweeper has posted a high 32.9% whiff rate (and a .247 xwOBA), which will continue to drive his strikeout totals.

Additionally, he has posted an 87th-percentile hard-hit rate and a 75th-percentile barrel rate. The former Florida Gator is a top pickup for those needing a reliable starter with a strong upside. While his WHIP could be high at times, Scott possesses some of the highest pure whiff potential on most waiver wires.

Clayton Beeter, RP, Washington Nationals

10% rostered

The first closer we will spotlight is emerging as a primary option in D.C. While the Nationals have relied on a committee this season, Clayton Beeter appears to be the favored option and is worth a look in all 12+ team leagues where saves are needed. Since May 30 (his last 11 innings of work), Beeter has earned four saves while earning a hold with two blown saves.

Both of his blown saves have come in his two most recent appearances, which is worth keeping an eye on. However, the other option for saves, Gus Varland, was optioned to Triple-A following their loss to the Phillies on Thursday, leaving only Richard Lovelady as a secondary choice in the bullpen.

Lovelady has operated in many roles in the early going, serving as an opener, a firearm, and an occasional option in the ninth inning, totaling four saves over seven save opportunities.

Given that Beeter has been able to earn the trust of the coaching staff and possesses promising underlying marks such as a 94th percentile xBA, 98th percentile ground-ball rate, and a 63rd percentile strikeout rate, the 27-year-old is likely the favorite going forward. However, his hefty 17.0% BB% could inflate your WHIP at times.

While he is not the bona fide clear closer, Beeter should see the bulk of the save opportunities given his recent usage. If he can find his footing in this role, he could remain the primary closer over the entire second half, which should allow him to push for 15+ saves.

Hogan Harris, RP, Athletics

5% rostered

While it appeared Elvis Alvarado was running away with the Athletics' closer job, he has hit a rough skid, which has once again opened the door for this position. Since earning two saves on June 10 and June 13, Alvarado has allowed five runs (over 5 1/3 innings) while taking one blown save with three losses, which could pave the way for Hogan Harris to emerge as the favored option.

Harris has not had the most success of late, but he has some promising underlying metrics that make him a worthy addition for those chasing saves. Prior to allowing five earned runs over his last 3 1/3 innings, Harris carried a strong 2.70 ERA with five saves, four holds, and only one blown save over his previous 16 2/3 frames of work.

Under the hood, the 29-year-old has generated an impressive 3.27 xERA (3.65 face-value ERA) with a dominant .199 xBA (90th percentile). Additionally, he has generated a dominant 26.3% K% with a 92nd-percentile barrel rate and a 96th-percentile hard-hit rate.

This is still a full-fledged committee, but Harris has found success in this role and has very impressive underlying metrics suggesting his recent cold slump is due largely to bad luck. Those in shallow leagues can likely find a more stable option like Yoendrys Gomez, Caleb Kilian, or even Alex Lange, but for the managers in deeper 12+ team leagues falling behind in this category, Harris is worth a stash as he has the skill set to claim this job.
