Chase Burns is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup, stash and breakout for Week 13 (2025). Target Chase Burns as a top prospect free-agent waiver wire pickup.

BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues

CALL-UP ETA: June

ANALYSIS: Since being promoted to Triple-A, Chase Burns has made two starts and has looked quite impressive. In his most recent outing on June 18, Burns tossed seven innings of one-run ball with three hits and no walks against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. In this outing, Burns struck out an eye-catching seven batters.

In his first outing at Triple-A, he tossed 5 1/3 innings of two-run ball with seven punchouts against the Iowa Cubs.

Given his quick adjustment to Triple-A, the former No. 2 overall pick has already proven he is ready to join Cincinnati. 

We guarantee that Chase Burns outperforms at least one—if not several—starting pitchers on every major league roster.

Burns opened the campaign with High-A and needed just 11 2/3 innings to prove he was ready to join Double-A. With Double-A Chattanooga, Burns was near-perfect, tossing 42 innings with a 1.29 ERA, 0.71 WHIP, and a 55:4 K:BB.

On Saturday evening, the Reds announced that they will be promoting Burns to make his MLB debut on Tuesday evening against the New York Yankees. In his debut, Burns flashed elite strikeout potential as he struck out eight batters across five innings of three-run ball against the potent Yankees.

Given his elite strikeout upside, he is worth adding in all standard leagues.
