Jarren Duran is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for hitters heading into Week 6 (2023). Target Wiemer as a free agent outfielder on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Duran has been an on-again, off-again part of the Red Sox MLB roster as far back as 2021. Still, his total service time is just over 100 games deep, so take his career .685 OPS with a grain of salt.
The highly regarded prospect has made momentous strides and may finally be showcasing the offensive output necessary to stick in the big leagues.
3 doubles for Jarren Duran tonight.

Through 11 games this season, Duran is slashing .436/.455/.718 with a home run and eight doubles. His minor-league track record, plus a 70-grade run tool, further illustrates his impressive base-stealing upside. That has translated into two stolen bases this season, though Duran would have presumably accrued more if the majority of his hits didn't go for extra bases. Duran will eventually cool off at the plate, but he's capable of running up fantasy points in a multitude of ways if he continues to get the playing time.

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.

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.

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, […]

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.
