Daniel Lynch is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for pitchers heading into Week 12 (2023). Target Lynch as a free agent pitcher on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues
ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues
ANALYSIS:
Lynch has a 4.41 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 16 innings with the Royals so far this season. Last year, he was worse with a 5.13 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 131 innings. The benefit of using Lynch in fantasy is he will get some strikeouts. Last year he had a 20% strikeout percentage and he's improved this year with a 23% strikeout percentage.
Lynch is an option in deeper leagues where you need strikeouts this week because he's going to pitch twice. He's set for matchups on the road against the Detroit Tigers and Tampa Bay Rays. Ideally, he'd pitch well against the Tigers and survive the Rays' start while putting up enough strikeouts to make it worth your while.
However, I'd be lying if I said using Lynch this week wasn't a risky option. If he doesn't pitch well against the Tigers, this could be an absolute disaster because the Rays are one of the best offenses in baseball. Proceed with caution here.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: Unlike many players currently in the minor leagues, Chandler Simpson has proven he can be a valuable fantasy player at the MLB level.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: The Nationals went viral on social media this week for making a fun call-up. They called up their bat dog from Triple-A. While this was very cute and should improve the vibes a little bit in Washington, I don't think Bruce the Bat Dog will help […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Samuel Basallo might be the best hitter in the minors right now, and he has catcher eligibility. What more do you need to know (I know catcher is super deep this year, but still)? Basallo has been an age-to-level monster for the majority of his pro […]
Andrew Painter - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]
Colby Thomas - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: The A's continue to lose, and Colby Thomas continues to hit homers in Triple-A. The A's just got swept by the Angels, bringing their record to 26-44. While plays like Denzel Clarke's HR robbery can generate a spark for a team, the A's might need […]
